I'll go with E - not only b/c I know Nut loves "all of the above" questions, but because I think I remember reading this in Jean's bio.

You are so, so right on all counts, xokathy!!!

What is Chi Omega's oldest, continuously open chapter?

a.) Psi, University of Arkansas
b.) Tau, Ole Miss
c.) Sigma, Randolph-Macon
d.) Rho, Tulane Univ.

Okay I'm not a Chi Omega, but can I guess Tau chapter here at Ole Miss...'

ETA: okay I just realized it cannot be Tau because in the 1920s all sororities and fraternities at Ole Miss closed...so just kidding! It's not Tau!

ETA: I just looked in the Baird's I have from the Library and it's not Sigma because they are listed as being closed in 1960...so either Rho or Psi...I would guess Psi since Rho did have to "close" be/c of Hurricane Katrina...even though by close I don't mean like shutting down, just they weren't up and running because the school was closed.

OleMissGlitter -- you are ALWAYS welcome here -- to guess Ole Miss (or any other answer!)

I didn't even think about factoring in Katrina -- I was more or less thinking of chapters that had to give up their charter for one reason or another (i.e., State Legislatures in Arkansas and Mississippi or the college removing all sororities)

[Cutie_Hootie]

I believe we missed three conventions...so C is my answer.
