The first post-war convention started new traditions for our conventions and true Alpha Chi Omega loyalty. 438 attendees flooded Chicago, and chaperones were offered for the "younger girls" traveling to "calm the mothers." A secretary-editor position was created, combining the responsibilities of secretary, editor, business manager of The Lyre, "keeper of sullies" and administration. This helped allow the creation of a central office. Mary Emma Griffith (Lambda, Syracuse University) was chosen to fulfill this groundbreaking role.
