The correct answer is B. Ida Pace Purdue was actually a member of Chi Omega while it was still in its beginning stages - local sorority. It was Dr. Richardson who suggested Miss Pace become a member of Chi Omega because of her maturity. Even though Ida was a graduate, she concented to join.
It was our manual in 1909 that was dedicated to her...'whose untiring service, wise judgement and ennobling influence...have contributed more than any other cause to Chi Omega's growth.'
