Shamock Question
 

So I've been wondering, where did Shamrock get its name? Is it b/c it used to be a March event or is there something more to it?

Darnit, *Shamrock. Not Shamock... Can someone fix that?

This my story and I'm sticking to it. National Kappa Delta had determined that Child Abuse Prevention would become a National Philanthropy. At sometime during it's 1st year or 2nd as a National Philanthropy the San Antonio Alumnae Association decided that they would raise money by going downtown during St Patrick's day and collect money on the street corner. Whoever gave a donation got a Shamrock. ( Of course the green played off our colors) Somehow it was submitted to National KD and it took off from there. I know this to be true because my dear friend, who is a regular lurker on this site, she can't figure out how to register, was a member of the group when it happend. In fact her husband designed the original logo at their dining room table. She thinks there may have been a contest that San Antonio entered and won. Probably more information than you wanted but there it is is in all it's green glory.

Oh no, that was just the right amount of a great story and answer.

Thanks! :D

Very interesting! Glad the question was asked. Glad it was answered. :)
