Prior to the start of Chi Omega, founders Jobelle Holcombe and Jean Vincenheller purchased ribbon & pinned them on their blouses so that the fraternity boys would think they too had a secret organization. The only secret was that they didn't have any secrets! What were the colors of the ribbons purchased by Jobelle & Jean?
Cardinal & straw (ultimately the colors of Chi Omega)
Olive & plum (the ugliest colors they could find)
Red & white (the school colors of University of Arkansas)
Red & green (because it was Christmas time)
