I really thought that I knew alot about our heritage until I began reading some of these questions! But here is one that I can answer (thanks for the hint=)

The original recognition quill was a black enamel triangle with the greek letters inside. It was changed at convention in 1922 by the Kappa chapter(UofI) to the miniture quill.

Who received the first jeweled quill and what jewels were used?

The Fathers Pen was designed by two UNCW sisters.... in fact, I became friends with these girls when I was at convention in 1990 as UNCA's delegate. Kimberly showed me the design at convention - it was sketched on a piece of paper in pencil. She told me that they were going to submit their design to National Council for approval. They did and it was approved!

What is the Society of 1893?

The Society of 1893 is for those individuals who put Alpha Xi Delta in their will to receive a portion of their estate after entering Chapter Eternal (sounded better than saying dying!).

What state is home to the most chapters of Alpha Xi?

WCUgirl · #23 06-15-2005, 06:27 PM

I'm assuming you mean active chapters, in which case it's Ohio with 12.

ETA: Forgot a new question.

Here it is:

When was the first alumnae chapter formed?

The first alumnae chapter was Alliance, Ohio chartered in July of 1904.

Who was the first initiate (after the founders) and when was she initiated?

Jessie Brown Robson, on Thursday, November 9, 1893. Our 100-Year History book says there was another recruit, but doesn't list her name.

When was our first Alpha Xi Delta songbook published, and who published it for us?

Anybody? Need a hint?

Wasn't it a Sigma Nu who published our first song book? A founder's husband?

AZ-AlphaXi · #28 06-25-2005, 11:36 AM

According to the 100 year history ...

"In 1900, the Delta Theta Chapter of Sigma Nu published the first Alpha Xi Delta songbook and presented the pale-blue edition to Alpha Chapter on Founders Day, April 17, 1900."

When was the Symphony written and approved?

Can some one give a hint. I can't find the answer anywhere.

WCUgirl · #30 07-08-2005, 11:50 PM

1924. It was written by a committee of three AXiDs -- Helen Willis Lynn, Almira Cheney and Alice Matthews.

Beta chapter, our second chapter, was founded in 1902 from an existing chapter of P.E.O. on Iowa Wesleyan's campus. Gamma, at Mt. Union College, is our third chapter, and it was also founded in 1902. From what existing group was Gamma chapter formed?
