This morning, I learned that a Chi Omega founder and an Alpha Xi founder share a birthday.
July 16, 1878 Jean Marie Vincenheller Founder @ChiOmegaXO was born in Eastland County, TX
Happy Birthday to one of our Founders, Lewie Strong Taylor! She was born on July 18, 1867.
I’ve also added the two birthdates to the State by State Tour of Graves, Founding Sites, and HQs for NPC GLOs http://wp.me/p20I1i-1WQ.
