That's geat! I'm sure Jean was honored.

Terrific picture, Berlee!

Col. Dengler was upset that Arlington Cemetery would not allow a marker stating that Jean was a Founder of Chi Omega. Strict regulations did not permit it.

Follow-up question...

Which other founder is also buried in the Washington, D.C. area?

a.) Dr. Richardson
b.) Allie Simmonds
c.) Jobelle Hocombe
d.) Ina Mae Boles Morton

What is the significance of the number of the street address of the Chi Omega Executive Headquarters, 3395 Players Club Parkway?

a.) The "33" is from at old address of the Executive Office in Cincinnati, 3300 Carew Tower and the "95" is from the founding of Chi Omega in 1895.

b.) There were 339,500 initiates of Chi Omega when ground was broken for the new HQ in 1992.

c.) There were 33 staff members employed when the building was dedicated in 1995.

d.) That's stupid -- there is no significance.

I believe it is Allie Simonds. I went through the New Member website recently (brushing up on Chi O history during winter break), and I think it said she was buried in the Congressional Cemetery.

Love from your sisters at Nu Alpha!

Well, rats! Now I have to remember where I got that idea. Do you know if she's buried in that cemetery right next to the campus?

a.) The "33" is from at old address of the Executive Office in Cincinnati, 3300 Carew Tower and the "95" is from the founding of Chi Omega in 1895.
