History: ACCORDING TO DONOR JEAN JOHNSTONE IN 2011, “WHEN I ATTENDED LCI IN 1958, THE BEEHIVE GIRLS (WHO FINISHED WITH BEEHIVES) FORMED A NEW SORORITY AT LCI. IT WAS CALLED SIGMA OMEGA XI AND I WAS ASKED TO JOIN. THERE WERE ESTABLISHED SORORITIES AT LCI BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR FOR S.O.X. AND I WAS THRILLED TO JOIN. WE PURCHASED SORORITY SWEATERS AND PINS. MY SWEATER IS ALREADY IN THE COLLECTION AND THIS PIN WAS WORN ON THE LEFT FRONT OF THAT SWEATER. I DIDN’T STAY IN S.O.X. AFTER GRADE 11 AS I WENT TO CALGARY TO ATTEND SCHOOL.” FOR PREVIOUSLY DONATED S.O.X. SWEATER SEE P20000011013. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE SEE PERMANENT FILE.
