Currently, the Chi Omega Supreme Governing Council is comprised of five members: S.H., S.T.B., S.N.V., S.K.A. and S.M. Has it always been made up of five individuals?

a.) Yes, since the beginning it's always been 5
b.) It grew to 6 when Mary Love Collins stepped down as S.H. and became Administrative Councilor
c.) It grew to 7, counting MLC as A.C. and the editor of The Eleusis
d.) It was once 8, with the A.C., E.E. and the NPC delegate

I'm going to take a guess at it with B....

Wow... the editor of the Eleusis as a governing council member...interesting!

I'm from the Epsilon Gamma chapter at the University of Tulsa, and I just shared much of this trivia via text yesterday with my pledge class.. We will have a lot of interesting facts to tell to our new littles we take in the fall! Thanks for sharing, everyone!

I love it!

Epsilon Gamma, huh? I think I know a certain S.H. from that chapter!

haha, yes, SH Mrasek was just at our house visiting last month. The Theta national president is also from TU, so they usually will travel together. It's pretty exciting business, especially since I was a freshman. When she was living in our house as a young Chi O, she lived in what is now my suite. I feel special.

Currently, Chi Omega National Conventions are held biennially on even-numbered years (e.g., 2004, 2006, 2008). How many times was Convention held during an odd-numbered year?

a.) Never. Always even-numbered years since the first one in 1900.
b.) Once, in 1901, and they would have continued to be odd-numbered years except that the 1903 Convention, scheduled for St. Louis, was postponed a year to coincide with the World's Fair
c.) Once, in 1919, because of World War I
d.) It's only been since the 21st century began that even-numbered years were chosen.

Actually, the answer is B. A neat "factoid" since we're going back to St. Louis this year!

I would guess D. No idea though.

AlphaZetaXO · #11 07-03-2008, 11:14 AM

Well, it can't be a.) since we were having conventions in 1901, and it can't be b.) because the Eleusis has been in publication since 1899. And in a previous question (does it make me a huge dork that I found this?!) you stated that The Earth Mother was "presented at each Convention from 1912 through 1956". So by my amazing deductive reasoning skills, that leaves c.) Revelry!

You're good, Sister AZXO!

Wanna ask the next one?

AlphaZetaXO · #13 07-03-2008, 12:23 PM

Sure! This is completely useless information, but I thought it was sort of interesting.

How much water does the Chi Omega Fountain on the University of Kansas campus hold?

a.) 2,700 gallons
b.) 8,500 gallons
c.) 1,250 gallons
d.) No more than 6,724 gallons

NutBrnHair · #14 07-03-2008, 04:55 PM

Great question!

I'm going to guess A.

AZXO, I love that question!

I found this after I guessed....

"A campus landmark since 1955, the Chi Omega fountain holds 8,500 gallons of water."
