Ahhhh yes....young grasshopper(s) -- (as they said on the 1970s TV show "Kung Fu") -- you are correct!

CardinalSM is first with the correct answer, followed by xokathy, Hootie, chiownxo (with very accurate info.) and chioqt! Excellent work, my sisters.

Indeed, Phi Chapter was colonized 1899 at Hellmuth Woman's College, London, Ontario, Canada. It closed in June, 1900.

Next question?

Maybe some of our GC friends in Canada could tell us, but I don't think the school exists today and in fact, I believe the curriculum changed back in 1900 which made it no longer feasible to continue to have a chapter there.

that would make sense because doesn't texas have the most chapters of any state?

NutBrnHair · #**159** 10-27-2003, 11:46 AM

Yes, I think Texas has 13 active chapters...followed closely by Ohio and North Carolina with 11 each. (I might be a tad off on those numbers -- anyone else know?)

Plus, everything is just bigger in Texas...don'tcha know?!?
