I believe in my post I mentioned that she worked, along with her sister, who is Katrina Overall McDonald. There were actually 4 founders of a local, Alpha Alpha, which was established for the sole purpose of becoming a chapter of AOII. So, if that is incorrect, our Tulsa Alumnae Chapter history as well as the stories of Mrs. Warren herself, are incorrect. As to the tradition of naming chapters in Tennessee using the letter Omicron, I know that is the case now, but I don't know if it was or wasn't in 1917, when the Vandy chapter was chartered. Our TAC history is that the combination of the "new" Omicron as well as Natalie's involvement played a role in the naming of the chapter. Perhaps our history is overly-generous to Mrs. Warren's involvement because she co-founded our alumnae chapter here and the Warren name is the most well-known name in Tulsa.
