Okay, so I checked the history book and there was not a Natalie Overall that was involved in the chartering of Nu Omicron but rather a Katherine/Katrina Overall! This woman, however was not the first to come up with the idea of bringing AOII to Vanderbilt - but I don't remember the name of the woman who did!
The name Nu Omicron could also be because of their submotto (which I also don't have with me right now!) which began with the letters of Nu and Omicron. Based on all these pieces of information, I would have to say that Nu Omicron was not named for a person at all.
