Having a birthday two weeks after Christmas and a week after New Year’s Day is not easy. I know it very well and so I want to highlight three others who share a birthday with me.
Kappa Sigma Dr. Charles Richardson, is a founder of Chi Omega. He became a Kappa Sigma at Emory & Henry College in Virginia and then studied dentistry at Vanderbilt University. Richardson was an active member of Kappa Sigma at both schools and later served his fraternity as a national officer. He set up a dentistry practice in Fayetteville, Arkansas. With his guidance, Chi Omega was founded on April 5, 1895 by four young women at the University of Arkansas. He was known as “Sis Doc” to generations of Chi Omegas and he is counted as a founder.
Kappa Sigma founder Frank Courtney Nicodemus was born on this date in 1853.
Elvis Aaron Presley, was born on this date in 1935. He was an honorary member of the Arkansas State College chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon.
