Mary Love Collins of Chi Omega

[NutBrnHair]

Yes, Mary Love Collins and Elizabeth Dyer both lived at the Chi Omega Executive House on Grandin Road in the Hyde Park section of Cincinnati, OH, overlooking the Ohio River. It was indeed a "grand" house and became known as the White House of Chi Omega. Elizabeth was also a National Officer of Chi Omega and suceeded Mary Love as S.H. (National President) in 1952. Elizabeth also had an outstanding career as a professor at the University of Cincinnati, where a campus building was named in her honor. Upon Mary Love's death in 1972, at the age of 90, the property had to be sold because the home was in a residential area and not zoned for business. The office was moved to Carew Tower in downtown Cincinnati, where it remained for the next 20 years.

In 1992, plans were announced to relocate to Memphis, TN in the Southwind development. Our beautiful HQ is across the street from Pi Kappa Alpha and close to the Kappa Delta HQ.
