I think it would be especially good for the PNM who's clueless about the whole process. The do's and don'ts are great.
The only goofs I can see: in the back, the book says that Coke's colors are red and white because a founder's wife was an "Alpha Omega Pi"; also, that there's an arrow on Wrigley's Gum because the founder's wife was a Pi Phi (wasn't that disproved?) |
Wow...they didn't care about printing unsubstantiated rumors did they? Love the Omega, but the story isn't even right. We have no idea whether or not there is really a connection between Coke choosing red for its color and AOII. The only thing we can prove is that the
daughter of the first
bottler of Coke was a loyal AOII. My chapter benefitted from Emy Lou Beidenharn's generosity for many years and continues to after her death since she remembered us in her will!
