Kappa Delta Trivia

Thanks for posting this information, SigKapAngel767!

It really seems like an amazing tradition. I would love to visit Longwood some day. I've been studying so much about KD's founding that Farmville is like Mecca to me. Ms_Gwyn (a tri sigma) and I are actually planning to go if we can get permission to visit the archives.

Hey SigKapAngel, do you know when Longwood first started admitting men? Were you there when the big fire happened a few years back?

Oh! There's one other thing that I'm curious about. Do the Farmville Four chapters give the impression that they own the place since they were founded there? You have a pretty big Greek system for a smaller school. It looks like such a fun university!

Thanks to everyone for receiving me so kindly on your forum!

You might want to check with your headquarters with what original KD or Tri-Sigma artifacts are actually in Farmville. From what I have heard, most of it is at their headqurters. As I am not a member of either, I am not sure

I think men started coming time in the 70s... :-/ not 100% sure on this, haha

I went to Longwood the fall after the fire. We are very lucky one person was only minorly injured. I felt horrible for the ZTA's though, because one of the buildings damaged, I think is where a lot of their founding sisters had started the sorority. I'm not completely sure though. :-/

The Farmville Four are very strong chapters, as are all the chapters at Longwood!

All 9 chapters at Longwood are capped around 55. We have one dorm called "Stubbs" with four floors. The top three floors are each divided into 3 sections so each sorority has a "hall" which includes a chapter room. The sororities at Longwood get along very well, and it is frowned upon to be rude to another sorority, Alpha chapter or not. We have friends in other sororities, and often socialize with them. Longwood Greeks have a sense of pride. We like to set the example at school, and treat everyone nicely. Your Alpha sisters would make you so proud...they carry themselves with dignity, respect everyone, and make Kappa Delta look amazing everyday!

I think you're right about that. There's just one thing that I'm looking for (that's not directly related to the foundings, but I'm curious about) that I don't think any of the FF4 have. Not sure though.

It was VERY lucky that there weren't any fatalities! It was actually the room where Kappa Delta was founded that got lost in the fire.

I was really sad about that.

It's great to hear that everyone gets along. Thank you so much for the compliments. Yay, Alpha!

Thanks for answering my questions. You're a sweetheart!

Leslie,

Our archives are at National Headquarters. If you get to Memphis you should stop in and take a look. It is really fascinating. Some of the items, along with the Alpha Trunk, were at convention this year.

Oh, I've definitely got to see the archives at HQ! I'm in graduate school right now working towards becoming an archivist myself. I envy anyone who got to see the Alpha Trunk.

What I'm interested in reading at Longwood is an account of those early days. Specifically, I want to know what the curriculum was. I've checked and it's in the Longwood holdings.

Now I just have to get there! (to both Farmville and Memphis)

Well, no one seemed interested in my 'first KD prez of NPC' question, so I'm moving along. (I'll talk to myself if I have to!

)

From the history books:

Very early in Kappa Delta's history the "Grand Chapter" (as it was called) appointed one member from each existing chapter to give input on ritual elements that their respective chapters wanted to see included.

What note-worthy Kappa Delta was one of those appointed and from what chapter did she hail?

lol... I got so intrigued by SigKapAngel's CHI info that I completely missed your question!

Give me a little bit of time, and I'll get back to you on that!

There'll be no talking to oneself in the trivia thread!

KDAngel · #8 09-27-2007, 09:23 AM

I loooove reading the answers, but I have no idea what they are myself. So you can ask and then I'll say "ooo tell me, tell me please!" and then you can answer yourself if someone else doesn't beat you to it.

Leslie,

I am always amazed at the questions you put up...are all of these coming from "Ordinary Miracles"?

For the first KD president of NPC, for some reason, I want to say Minnie Mae Prescott. I don't know why though. And, I have NO CLUE about the Grand Chapter question.
