Kappa Delta Trivia

[ta kala]

Thank you - but I can't take all the credit - Ordinary Miracles has provided me a lot of info.

For the motto:
"In the August, 1912 Angelos, classical scholar professor Winfield P. Woolf pointed out that the ancient Greek root word "dioko" was used more frequently to refer to a chase. Therefore, he said, the motto is 'active and aggressive, not lazy and passive.'"

Just a guess, but I'm gonna say 1913, when plans were made outlining the first celebration of Founder's Day (even though FD was first recognized in 1911, I don't think there were any actual celebrations until 1913).

I am going to guess 1921.

This is a fun game! I think that I am going to ask for Ordinary Miracles as a Christmas gift.

[Leslie Anne]

Not quite there yet. It's not 1913 or 1921.

The answer is in Ordinary Miracles.

I actually have a copy of the Sorority Handbook by Ida Shaw Martin (from my college roommate's grandmother's stuff, if you remember that story). That's where I found the open motto thing and also the specific type of white rose. There's lots of really cool information about all kinds of orgs in there.

Since it's probably unlikely that there are many of those floating around, you might be interested to know that it's online (6th ed.) on google books. Here's the link if you're interested:
