Chi-O Trivia

[cocochica33]

I'm from the Epsilon Gamma chapter at the University of Tulsa, and I just shared much of this trivia via text yesterday with my pledge class.. We will have a lot of interesting facts to tell to our new littles we take in the fall! Thanks for sharing, everyone!

I love it!

Epsilon Gamma, huh? I think I know a certain S.H. from that chapter!

haha, yes, SH Mrasek was just at our house visiting last month. The Theta national president is also from TU, so they usually will travel together. It's pretty exciting business, especially since I was a freshman. When she was living in our house as a young Chi O, she lived in what is now my suite. I feel special.

Currently, Chi Omega National Conventions are held biennially on even-numbered years (e.g., 2004, 2006, 2008). How many times was Convention held during an odd-numbered year?

a.) Never. Always even-numbered years since the first one in 1900.
b.) Once, in 1901, and they would have continued to be odd-numbered years except that the 1903 Convention, scheduled for St. Louis, was postponed a year to coincide with the World's Fair
c.) Once, in 1919, because of World War I
d.) It's only been since the 21st century began that even-numbered years were chosen.

Actually, the answer is B. A neat "factoid" since we're going back to St. Louis this year!
