Is Atlanta known for the blues?

The first thing I thought of when she said "where blues musicians jam" is New Orleans. New Orleans is famous for all the blues and jazz musicians...and Memphis is pretty much the country Mecca.

Are there any sororities that have either a 3 star badge or crest with headquarters in New Orleans?

I thought the country music "mecca" is Nashville and Memphis was more blues.

With this latest clue I'm 100% certain it's Kappa Delta.

Ham - Virginia founding

Blues - Memphis and New Orleans (I don't know of any group with headquarters in New Orleans, so I'm going with Memphis)

Three stars on the coat of arms, founded in Virginia, headquartered in Memphis. It's just got to be KD!

WooHoo! I'm excited.

I dont know. I'm not a fan of country music, so I don't know. But that is true, I never even thought of Nashville, you are probably right though.

I just thought New Orleans first, and thought maybe there might be a sorority HQs there...i'm probably wrong though.

I'm still sticking with my 2 guesses of Phi Mu and KD. lol.

Okay, I checked and there aren't any NPCs with headquarters (executive offices, international headquaters, or any of the other terms used) in New Orleans.

Since I'm a dork and I also don't have anything better to do on a Saturday night, I checked up on the locations for all 26:

AXO - Indianapolis IN
ADPi - Atlanta GA
AEPhi - Danbury CT ?
AGD - Indianapolis IN
AOII - Brentwood TN
APhi - Evanston IL
ASA - Indianapolis IN
AST - Birmingham AL
AXiD - Indianapolis IN
ChiO - Memphis TN
DDD - Arlington TX
DG - Columbus OH
DPhiE - Maryland Heights MO
DZ - Oxford OH
GPhiB - Centennial CO
KAO - Indianapolis IN
KD - Memphis TN
KKG - Columbus OH
PhiMu - Tucker (soon to be Peachtree City) GA
PhiSS - Elkrigde MD
PiPhi - Town & Country MO
SDT - Indianapolis IN
SK - Indianapolis IN
SSS - Woodstock VA
TPA - Bay Village OH
ZTA - Indianapolis IN

If there are errors, please let me know and I will correct it.

I'm going KD.

According to the official Memphis website, MEMPHIS is the birthplace of Blues

Just to REALLY confuse y'all...

...I did a Yahoo search for "birthplace of the blues" and got:

1) Memphis
2) Mississippi
3) Chicago
4) Graceland
5) The USA
6) Clarksville

and more - that's the first two pages. And the first three I mentioned are given fairly equal billing!

i'm still not sure. It IS possible to get the badge in silver, and with emeralds, but that's a pretty rare badge. Our standard badge is gold with black enamel.

I think is probably possible to get ANY NPC badge in silver/white gold if you special order it.

Well, I feel silly. I had KD but changed it to Phi Mu.

KD's pledge pin has green on it.

If we're going to go w/ emeralds being the green on the badge, according to ariesrising's site, both Kappa Delta and Phi Mu badges can have emeralds on them. I just don't know if Phi Mu badges can come in silver (according to kddani, KD's can).

But the clue says "badge" I've never heard the first degree pin (or second degree pin) called badge. Just our membership badge/pin.
