Leslie, thanks so much for all that information! And ta kala... we can't wait for you to get home!

In the meantime, here's another trivia question:
What was KD's original open motto?

"... the 1919 Convention voted to make "Sigma" the key letter in honor of retiring National President Marion Mullins, an initiate of Sigma Chapter."

Some of the others:

Mu was also named in honor of Marion, who was National Treasurer at the time.

Epsilon Omega was "named for Edith Orilla KNown, the Naitonal Chapterian who worked with the chapter at the University of Kentucky in securing its charter"

It also said that in the early years, groups were allowed to choose their own name, so that may explain why it was not in order.


ETA: My guess for the open motto would be "Let us pursue the honorable things" or "We seek that which is noblest."

Wow! Thanks so much for the info, ta kala. I've been wondering about the double letter sigmas for so long. What a relief to finally have the answer.
