This relates in that AOII expanded to Sophie Newcomb College in 1898 (2nd chapter and a year or so after AOII's founding!) and that one of our founders (Stella) was from Louisiana. In a way you could say that we are Northern born but Southern at heart. . .
You can also take into consideration that approximately 1/2 our active chapters are located in Southern states (49 out of 101)!
