C?

No, Cardinal026, it's not "C." (FDR's Little White House was in Warm Springs, GA)

P.S. I love the Dave Letterman quote -- what's that from?

b.) the Tri Deltas also held their national convention here, but on odd-numbered years (whereas the Chi Omegas met during even-numbered years)
c.) President FDR used this resort as a retreat and referred to it fondly as the "Little White House"
d.) serving as Chi Omega's Executive Office for over 30 years, during the time that Mary Love Collins directed the Fraternity as S.H.

Nooooo, QT...sorry, it's not B

Yes, XOAlumXO, you got it!

“Project Greek Island,” the ultimate bomb shelter, designed and intended to house Congress in the event of a nuclear war, is now open to the public. The facility, built under The Greenbrier resort, was planned by the Eisenhower Administration during the Cold War. Russia had detonated an atomic bomb in 1949. Nuclear war was a real possibility. Our government wanted a shelter for Congress if such a war ever happened.

Way to go, CardinalSM...you are correct! Saranne "Punky" Bowker Penberty is the daughter of Winnie Bowker. Winnie served as S.N.V. from 1954-1970 and as S.H. from 1970-1976. Punky served as S.N.V. from 1994-2000.
