In his many writings, Dr. Richardson often said that founding Chi Omega was his most precious accomplishment and the one in which he had the most pride and satisfaction. ~ taken directly from Chi Omega's National Webpage (www.chiomega.com)

This thread is fascinating! I love learning things about other GLOs. Hootie, I know that Chi Omega was founded at the University of Arkansas and one of my friends from high school went there and lived in Holcombe Hall. Do you know if it was named after your Founder Joelle Holcombe or perhaps her family? Or is it coincidence?
