Delta Founder-Olive C. Jones

I'll have to keep the "C" and assume that official lists without the "C" don't negate the existence of a middle name that may begin with a "C." Chapters got the "C" from somewhere.

My middle initial isn't listed everywhere and sometimes it's a matter of whether an initial was reported by whoever reported the name at the time.

I can't believe I came across this only 2 pages in. *uncorks fresh box of wine, phone is now on vibrate...*

So no one recited "Olive C. Jones" before 1988?

Do we have proof of that or are we just In Search of a place to attribute the "C" to?

The "C" has always been debated as to what it stood for but I've never heard someone acting as though it was significant enough to debate whether it exists.

No it hasn't, because tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of Deltas did not know it existed.

I'm contextualizing this. Those of us who recited it with a "C" but were not told what it stood for, have been lightheartedly debating this for years. And there are (perhaps tens of) thousands of us who that applies to.

How many members are we supposed to have, again?

Just making sure neither of us is exaggerating for no reason.

I would agree that tens of thousands have been initiated since 1988.
