You are right, oncelurked! (Since Mercer is my alma mater, I had to sneak that in there!)

FYI: Pat's first victory at UT came against Middle Tennessee.

That's pretty interesting about Pat Summitt's early win/loss history, too.

How many beds are there upstairs at the Chi Omega Executive Headquarters in Memphis?

a.) 4
b.) 12
c.) 18
d.) there are no beds

[xo_kathy]

When I was there I specifically remember a room with 2 beds in it. And I'm sure there were more than 2 rooms...And I think they said all the chapter visitors stayed there for training...therefore,

I'm going with 12!!!

[NutBrnHair]

Oooooo...so close. No, there are 18 beds. (6 bedrooms...3 with 4 singles & 3 with 2 singles.)

True or False

I'm going with true because I don't ever remember seeing one in my pledge manual or on the website...

[NutBrnHair]

You are correct! (Isn't that wild --?)

Sorry, OL...close, but no cigar! Kappa Sigma gave the bust to the HQ in 1995 to celebrate their member's (Dr. Richardson) role in our founding. They also generously presented one to Psi Chapter at the University of Arkansas.
