Who likes Logic Puzzles? Here is one for you...

Does anyone like Logic Puzzles? I have been doing them for years, and decided to try creating one, which I found can actually be harder than solving one. Here’s one I made just for GC. Try it out, and please let me know if you find any problems where the clues contradict themselves or something.


There are 4 sororities at Somewhere State U, and they are all locals. From the clues provided below, can you determine each sorority’s founding date, their mascot, and their flower?

Sororities: Alpha Zeta, Beta Upsilon, Gamma Nu, Delta Iota
Founding Dates: 1928, 1951, 1982, 1994
Flowers: Daffodil, Pink Carnation, Red Rose, White Rose
Mascots: Chipmunk, Duck, Seahorse, Tiger

Clues:

1. Gamma Nu was founded after the sorority with a chipmunk mascot, but before the one with red rose as its flower.

2. Alpha Zeta was originally called the White Rose society, and when they changed their name, they kept the flower.

3. The oldest sorority has a tiger as its mascot.

4. The sorority with a seahorse as its mascot has a daffodil as its flower, but it was not founded in 1951.

5. Delta Iota was founded last, and they do not use the seahorse as a mascot.

6. The sorority founded in 1928 uses the pink carnation as its flower.

Hint: It helps to draw a grid to solve the puzzle.
