The History of Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity, 1870 - 1930, describes<br />
“...a frail wisp of sunny youth,<br />
courageous though wracked with pain,<br />
smiling always even in the face of <br />
discouragement, Rose fought with<br />
determination to regain the health<br />
that the doctors had long since<br />
despared of.”<br />
<br />
Said to have a carefree manner and<br />
given to making witty remarks, “Rose<br />
was very pretty, with lovely coloring,<br />
and though she never looked very<br />
strong she had an unlimited amount<br />
of energy - energy she should have<br />
conserved.”<br />
<br />
A 1934 issue of ''The Key'' carried a<br />
detailed story about Rose. “The youngest<br />
of three children, Rose was about 13<br />
when her mother died, followed<br />
two years later by her father. She was<br />
sent to boarding school and during her<br />
last year there her brother, the only<br />
remaining family member she could<br />
depend on, died suddenly. Another detailed article about Rose appeared in the Spring 2008 issue of ''The Key.''

==The Early Years== <br />
(From The History of Kappa Kappa Gamma 1870–1976) <br />
The University of Tulsa traces its ancestry to the government schools for Indians established in Oklahoma and Indian territories in 1816. The resources of three of these were combined in Muskogee, Oklahoma, in 1894, as the Henry Kendall College, with the support of the Board of Missions of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A. In 1907 the college moved to Tulsa and a year later occupied its present site and first new building. In 1920 it became the University of Tulsa. The name Henry Kendall was retained for its College of Arts and Sciences. <br />
<br />
The University of Tulsa has become established as one of the finest schools in the Southwest, and because of its excellent petroleum engineering courses and advanced science program, it always has more men than women in its student body.<br />
<br />
At the close of World War II, former servicemen thronged to universities to receive the benefits of the G.I. Bill and expansion was inevitable. Then, as now, the girls would go where the boys were. There were four sororities on the Tulsa campus: Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Delta, and Phi Mu. Another was needed.<br />
By coincidence the day in 1945 on which the Panhellenic Council of Tulsa invited 15 girls to organize for the purpose of petitioning a national group of their choice was October 13, Kappa’s Founders Day. The group chose Alpha Pi Theta for its name and, after a study of the Greek system, chose to petition Kappa Kappa Gamma for membership. In March, 1946, Eleanore Goodridge Campbell, Colorado, assistant director of alumnae, and Mary Singleton Wamsley, DePauw, Theta Province president, inspected the local and approved the proposal to petition at the Diamond Jubilee Convention on Mackinac Island.<br />
<br />
At a garden party in the home of Jane Randolph Dunkin, Iowa, the members of Alpha Pi Theta met the Tulsa alumnae in the spring of 1946. Dorothy Lemaster Carter, Illinois, president of the Tulsa Alumnae Association, sent a jubilant wire from the Fraternity Convention announcing the affirmation of Delta Pi Chapter. The charter was granted July 6, 1946.<br />
<br />
Much planning and organization went on in Tulsa that summer. Fall rush parties were held in the university’s music building, Tyrell Hall, and 13 girls were pledged.<br />
<br />
Delta Pi Chapter was installed November 1 – 3, 1946, by Fraternity President Ruth Kadel Seacrest, Nebraska, as installing officer; assisted by Executive Secretary Clara O. Pierce, Ohio State; Director of Chapters Martha Galleher Cox, Ohio Wesleyan; Field Secretary Mary Agnes Graham (Roberts), Northwestern; and province officers Sarah Brown Army, Purdue, and Mary Wamsley. Arkansas was the sponsoring group, and the colonizers from Oklahoma A. & M. College attended, as well as members from Beta Theta, Oklahoma. Fireside service was at the home of former Fraternity President Georgia Hayden Lloyd-Jones, Wisconsin. Installation and pledge services were held at the University Bookstore on campus. Georgia Lloyd-Jones presided at the banquet in the Junior League Tearoom. Representatives from more than 25 chapters were present. <br />
<br />
The first year was strenuous and exciting, with Kappas entering all activities. The dynamic first president, Edna Insch (Sesow), gave the chapter a fine start. Usually formal meetings were held on the second floor of the College Book Store and pledge-active dinners and initiations took place in the home of alumnae. Pledge meetings were in the homes of pledges or the adviser.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1947, Delta Pi pledged 25 girls, the only group to pledge its quota. Open houses were held at the Student Union, practice for “Singphony” was at the home of Marisue Meyer (Van Zant) initiation banquet was at the Twin Oaks Tearoom, and the dance after finals at the home of Ruth Edkin (Pitcher).<br />
<br />
Housing: Ground breaking for the Kappa lodge provided the biggest thrill of 1947. In the presence of Dr. C. I. Pontius, university president, Mary Clay Williams, dean of girls; Florence Jones Barnett, Wisconsin, daughter of Georgia Lloyd-Jones; Lorna Troup Stenger, Kansas State, house corporation president; and the whole chapter Edna Sesow turned the first spade of earth on the Kappa lot with the golden spade of the university.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 1948, 20 pledges were welcomed to the new lodge. None of them lived there, but they gloried in having a place for their parties, and their more frequent contacts strengthened their sisterhood. There were post-war restrictions, but having a home was wonderful. In 1968, the university provided dormitories at the rear of the seven lodges, and Delta Pi became a housed chapter with accommodations for 34 women. The pledges live in the Lottie Mabee Dormitories.<br />
<br />
In 1950, Mortar Board established a chapter at Tulsa; and during the next 20 years, five members of Delta Pi were tapped. There has never been a year without a Mortar Board member. By 1970, Lantern, the little sister of Mortar Board, had 101 Delta Pi members. The chapter has had 35 members in Phi Gamma Kappa, a scholastic honorary. By 1970, in the six years of Angel Flight at Tulsa, 26 girls of Delta Pi have been honorary officers. <br />
<br />
In 1950, Panhellenic at Tulsa began its awards banquets. By 1975, Delta Pi had has won the chapter scholarship eight times, the pledge scholarship seven times, and the Kappa Sigma Sorority of the Year Award three times. In 1953, Delta Pi presented to Panhellenic a Standards Cup in memory of Martha Hood, who had been an ardent Panhellenic worker. Delta Pi won this cup six times. Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities has chosen 61 Delta Pi Kappas, especially active in journalism, holding positions year after year on the Collegian, the newspaper and the Kendallabrum, the year book. Chapter members were chosen for honoraries annually. Consistently, on a more hilarious level, they won volleyball tournaments, risked their lives on Talahi Day in races and touch football, and presented skits at Varsity Nite, occasionally winning first.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:'''<br />
Through the years, Delta Pi members devoted themselves to various philanthropies in Tulsa. The March of Dimes, the Crippled Children’s Home, Community Chest, Child Guidance Clinic, Handicapped Children, Tuberculosis Center, Sand Springs Children’s Home, Public Health Center, Disabled Veterans’ Home, Christmas baskets for the poor, and Multiple Sclerosis have all received help from the Kappas.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Traditions:'''<br />
Many of the traditions adopted by Delta Pi during its lifetime have continued. Kitty Kappa, a large doll mascot, and receives a new wardrobe now and then. The Bonner Cup brought shrieks when awarded at dinners, and taking Halloween pumpkins to the fraternity houses was fun. Early traditions were the Fleur-de-lis formal dance given by pledges for actives in the spring. After initiations, the whole chapter passes a loving cup around the circle and gives toasts. Christmas caroling, the Kappa-Theta ball, the Owl-O-Ween party with the Chi Omegas, and the exciting candlelight announcements promote fun and friendship.<br />
<br />
A Pickers group was formed when delegates returned from a Fraternity Convention. The group was immensely successful performing at fraternity houses, on campus, and for social and civic groups. When the Pickers played professionally the money was placed in the chapter Emergency Scholarship Fund.<br />
A generous mothers’ club and an interested alumnae association, supplying excellent advisers, helped keep the chapter strong. <br />

<br />
==Highlights of the 1970s:==<br />
Tumultuous times on college and university campuses were no different at the University of Tulsa. However, even in the times of protests and promotion of individualism, the Greek system was going strong. Sororities and fraternities were very active and had a dominant presence on the campus.<br />
<br />
The University of Tulsa student body began to diversify with more students coming to Tulsa from different states or even foreign countries. Although the focus had mainly been on engineering and geosciences, the university made a conscious decision to strengthen its Colleges of Law, Business Administration and Arts and Sciences.<br />
<br />
Kappas of Delta Pi were leading the way with strong leadership and campus involvement. Many were members of several campus organizations including intramurals, honor societies, Student Senate, Mortar Board and clubs within the respective colleges such as Student Education Association.<br />
<br />
Scholarship was important and members were required to attend study hall for an assigned number of hours per week. Delta Pi’s prided itself on being leaders on sorority row.<br />
<br />
There was also lots of fun too. Members of each pledge class grew closer to each other as they planned pledge activities including an annual “pledge sneak.” Big and Little Sis events promoted sisterhood and an appreciation for the chapter. There were other social gatherings that involved the entire chapter including the annual Kite and Key Dance with the Thetas, the Key Man formal and the various fraternity events such as Sigma Chi Derby Days and Kappa Sigma Olympics.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Housing:'''<br />
Most freshmen pledges lived in campus dorms or at home. Occasionally there would be room in the house for a few freshmen to move in second semester. Very few upper class members lived “out of house” as apartments near the campus were limited and not everyone had her own car for transportation.<br />
<br />
There were no planned meals prepared at the house other than Monday night dinner which was catered by the university and served prior to chapter meeting. One was able to purchase a meal plan available at the Student Union or have the privilege of using the house kitchen to prepare individual meals. This amount of cooking by so many created its own set of problems including food storage and keeping things clean and organized.<br />
The “back of the house” which was owned and managed by the university held two lounges for gathering or studying and five suites for sleeping/living. The president and vice president had single rooms with a shared bathroom, while the suites had three double rooms with a shared bathroom. This allowed 32 women to live in. Suite mates generally became very close during their semester together. New roommates were assigned each semester.<br />
<br />
Freshmen and sophomores had specified “hours” of curfew, a university rule. When one turned 21 she was allowed a key to the house with no restricted hours.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:'''<br />
Participation in philanthropic activities was not readily available. There were few events off campus and most of the involvement was raising money rather than actual participation. Support was given to Children’s Medical Center, Community Chest and March of Dimes.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Traditions:'''<br />
The Kappa Pickers singing group continued to entertain on campus and in the community.<br />
The traditional annual parties included the Fleur-de-lis formal and Key Man formal. The Sadie Hawkins dance had members invite dates to a western themed party. Members also participated in annual events sponsored by the fraternities such as Sigma Chi Derby Day and Kappa Sigma Olympics, as well as desserts with the fraternity men.<br />
<br />
For some Kappas, asking for a date to the dances and functions made them nervous. In 1979, the chapter came up with a solution to the problem. They decided on a function called “Set Up Your Roommate” where each woman chose a date for her roommate and kept it a secret until the night of the dance.<br />
For three years in a row beginning in 1974, the chapter was proud to be named Most Outstanding Sorority of the Year by Panhellenic.<br />
<br />
The chapter maintained involvement with the local alumnae association with the joint celebration of Founders Day and hosting open houses on home football game days.<br />
<br />
Candlelight ceremonies celebrated a member’s “romantic” involvement of being dropped, pinned or engaged.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Highlights of the 1980s:==<br />
Enrollment at the university declined in the early part of the decade, but Delta Pi was able to have a full chapter. Scholarship was very strong and a source of pride with the chapter having the highest grade- point-average on sorority row for several semesters.<br />
<br />
The attitude of the TU faculty and administration was generally supportive of the Greek system chapter challenge increased participation. The members worked together and improved due to better planning and communication. Organizing its priorities with a chapter calendar was beneficial in meeting the challenges and commitments.<br />
<br />
In the early 1980’s, the University of Tulsa moved their engineering campus, previously located a few miles away in another area of town. The new location was across the street from the Kappa house. Keplinger Hall, named after Henry Keplinger, was built to house the engineering school. His daughter Karen Keplinger (Mildren,) was a Kappa. Along with the physical change of scenery for the Kappa house, the new location allowed for Kappa engineering majors to spend more time on the main campus and participate in more Kappa events.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately as a result of the construction of the new buildings, the hundreds of field mice that occupied that empty field were run out of the ground and the Kappa house faced an infestation of mice. An exterminator was called and a complaint filed with the university. The Kappas were reimbursed by the University for its trouble.<br />
<br />
In the mid-80’s there was noticeable apathy toward Greek life on the TU campus. The chapter successfully initiated a positive change toward that apathy through enthusiasm, hard work and dedication in enhancing Greek life. It succeeded in better participation with the other fraternities and sororities, student association events and in-house activities.<br />
<br />
By the end of 1989, Tulsa University increased its enrollment. TU continued to recruit throughout the country, making the University more geographically diverse. Rush was still strong and the size of the chapter grew. Unfortunately Phi Mu left the campus leaving six Greek chapters for women. Panhellenic encouraged the sororities to promote extension for another national sorority to come on campus, but this was rejected.<br />
Some chapter challenges were to have a better understanding of the ritual and to improve in and out of house communication. The goals were met by having all members sign up for particular activities/events and then a committee was established to remind members of their commitments. Special meetings for actives conducted by the Marshall were held in order to gain a better understanding of the ritual.<br />
<br />
The Personnel Committee helped establish “Kappa Kongrats” to increase member morale and enthusiasm. They also presented “ABCOD,” a stuffed owl, monthly to a sister who had gone Above-and-Beyond-the-Call-Of-Duty. It was their way of recognizing each member who had shown an extra effort to help maintain the standards of the Fraternity and to improve spirit.<br />
<br />
At the 1989 Xi Province meeting in Stillwater the chapter was recognized with the Scholastic Award and the Outstanding Chapter Award.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Housing:'''<br />
The Delta Pi House Board started some remodeling and improvements to the chapter house living area and kitchen. These were met with much excitement. <br />
<br />
During the early 1980’s the Delta Pi Kappas received a microwave for the first time, but unfortunately, they weren’t always quick to clean the microwave after using it. After so much food build up, the microwave became unusable. After having it repaired, the House Board took action and closed the kitchen to anyone other than the cooks for one month. <br />
<br />
At that time there were no houseboys and some of the girls who lived in-house took care of serving the food and cleaning up after the meals. They received a discount on their room and board. After the kitchen was reopened to the women, a new job was made specifically to cleaning out the microwave, which really extended the life of the Kappa microwave.<br />
<br />
A new house mother was hired and she happened to be a Kappa and have a Kappa daughter, which added a special touch to the house. Her encouragement was greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:'''<br />
The chapter continued to be involved both on and off campus. New projects were started as well as maintaining past service projects. Participation in tutoring at a local home for girls in one particularly rewarding service. Each week, volunteers donate two hours to help middle school and high school girls with their studies.<br />
Another project was making Christmas bows for a local department store. The store provided the bow machine and a check for their labor.<br />
<br />
A “Men of TU” calendar was created and sold. A Halloween party for the children of the Children’s Medical Center was held in conjuction with the men of Lambda Chi Alpha.The children of the Domestic Violence Intervention Service were treated to an Easter party.<br />
In addition, a philanthropy bulletin board was decorated to educate the chapter about what happens to the money that is raised.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Traditions:'''<br />
The traditions continued with involvement in many campus activities. More of the chapter women were participating in varsity sports such as cross country, tennis and soccer. Others are members of the pom and cheerleading squads.<br />
<br />
Intramurals were an important part of chapter participation. In 1984 they even won the intramural football championship! Homecoming activities were a big part of campus life.<br />
Campus organizations such as Student Senate, Accounting Club, Ambassador Club were a few of the various groups in which members of Delta Pi participated. <br />
<br />
The Greek group events were well attended and included Sigma Chi Derby Day, Lambda Chi Luau and Kappa Sigma Olympics.<br />
<br />
The chapter sets goals each year to help build sisterhood and bring the chapter closer together. These included the following;<br />
Kommitment ~<br />
Attitude ~<br />
Participation ~<br />
Priorities ~<br />
Academics ~<br />
Success ~<br />
Another goal was “To strive for positive participation through better planning and communication”<br />
<br />
<br />
==Highlights of 1990’s:==<br />
The 1990’s began with the chapter receiving a scholarship award at the 1990 Kappa Convention in Dallas. The chapter continued to lead sorority row with the highest G.P.A. which showed that academics were a priority.<br />
Excellence continued with the selection of a Kappa as the 1990 TU Woman of the Year and three Kappas chosen as 1990 Top 10 Seniors. Many others were members of the cheerleading squad, varsity tennis and soccer teams and various campus organizations.<br />
<br />
Phi Mu was going to re-colonize, but they decided not to due to lack of interest from women signing up for rush. Six sororities remain active on the campus.<br />
<br />
Delta Pi’s programming committee conducted a chapter evaluation toward the end of the 1990 fall semester in order to identify strengths and weaknesses within the chapter. Strengths include diversity, leadership, scholarship, goal achievement and relations with other groups. Improvements addressed the girls becoming more unified and working better together.<br />
<br />
Chapter goals included increasing awareness of Kappa policies and issues within the house. Stop. Look and Listen became the new motto.<br />
<br />
TU’s first formal spring rush took place in the spring of 1991 and was a great success. Six members were sent to the Alpha Tau Omega Leadership Convention and returned with outstanding ideas to be introduced to the chapter.<br />
<br />
The campus atmosphere was filled with apathy and disputes. In April, 1993, the annual event of Air Band was held. Different acts performed and lip synced to songs of their choice. However, the event was turned into a hot bed of controversy when Caucasian males imitated an African-American vocal group. Tensions were high and after a confrontation, the event ended with everyone feeling both anger and sadness.<br />
<br />
In April, the students led by Delta Pi President Sharla Barklind, held a walkout to prove to the president and administration how unhappy they were. After discussion and many newspaper articles, the administration agreed to listen to the students and consider all suggestions.<br />
<br />
On a positive note, TU celebrated the Centennial Year. Various speakers came to the campus as well as TU alumnae to enjoy the planned activities.<br />
<br />
'''Housing:''' <br />
A challenge came with the need for a new house cook. The Advisory Board and House Board helped in making various adjustments which included the provision of a new Yums and Yucks/Suggestion Box. They all worked hard to maintain a positive attitude during a big transitional period in the house.<br />
<br />
When the members returned from summer break for fall rush in 1993 they found a totally new look for the house. Some walls were gone and everything was repainted, even the front door. In the living room cabinets were built to hide the television. It felt like they might be in the wrong house! Many thanks to the great House Board and alumnae!<br />
<br />
By the mid-1990’s, new apartments were being constructed on campus to provide more housing for the increasing number of students who were not from the Tulsa area or who wanted to reside on campus. Commuter students were a very small minority and the University wanted to make sure that all students could have a place to live. <br />
With these new apartments readily available, chapter women began to request to live out-of-house. The apartments offered a less constrictive social life with no real house rules or regulations. Keeping the Delta Pi house full became challenging and live-in requirements were revised.<br />
<br />
Perhaps the most exciting thing to happen to the Delta Pi’s was the visit by the National President, J.J. Wales. She brought them up to date on all of the exciting things Kappa was experiencing and even took time to answer questions. They felt so fortunate to have her at their house!<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:'''<br />
Adopt-a-Highway involved members picking up trash along one specific part of the highway. This was done once a semester. Other environmental issues included collecting cans and newspapers. A 5K run was started and raised money that was sent to Tulsa breast cancer victims through the American Cancer Society.<br />
<br />
One big fund raiser was a Balloon Derby. More than 400 balloons were sold at a TU football game. The money raised was donated to two local charities: Little Lighthouse and the Domestic Violence Intervention Service as well as Kappa national philanthropies.<br />
<br />
In the Fall of 1993 noisemakers were sold at a TU game. The money raised went to the Hurricane Andrew relief fund and a local project, Camcorders for Cops. This is a Tulsa fund to help put camcorders in police cars so that they will have evidence of any criminal activity when patrolling.<br />
<br />
The sale of spirit ribbons were a successful fundraiser for our philanthropies. Additional involvement included participation at the Tulsa Community Food Bank, Saint Simeon’s Home, Daffodil Days sponsored by the American Cancer Society and other philanthropies sponsored by Greek organizations on campus.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Traditions:'''<br />
Kappa Krush, an annual function, allowed the women to anonymously invite two men to the house for an afternoon of fun and great barbeque. It was always a great success.<br />
<br />
Traditionally Kappas were academic leaders on sorority row. As the G.P.A. dropped, the chapter made an effort to again earn academic honors. Study hours were established for the whole chapter which agreed improvement was necessary.<br />
<br />
For the Fall 1997 Recruitment, Delta Pi was chosen as a pilot for the New Member Program which Kappa was starting on a Fraternity level. Kore families were implemented and encouraged to interact regularly to promote sisterhood and unity with the new members.<br />
<br />
The Advisory and House Boards worked very well with the chapter and were always working to improve the chapter experience.<br />
<br />
Founders Day was celebrated with the Tulsa Alumnae Association. It was a great opportunity to have the actives meet some women who were members of Kappa for 50+ years. On Founders Day, 1998, the Delta Pi chapter was presented with a beautiful iris statue given in memory of Margaret “Maggie” Campbell Harris by her Kappa sisters and her family.<br />
<br />
During the 1999 calendar year there were many new and exciting changes for the chapter. Two Province Meetings were attended by chapter representatives, one to say goodbye to Xi Province and the other, the chapter’s new Theta Province Meeting to begin its new tradition with the newly assigned province. Chapter challenges always seemed to involve improving sisterhood through the use of Kore Families. The tradition of new member and chapter retreats proved very successful.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Highlights of 2000-2010:==<br />
The decade began a new millennium. The University of Tulsa remained small in enrollment but offers so much to its students. There were many different organizations to get involved in and the unity on campus was undeniable. Education was a top priority and having small classes helped professors reach out and get to know their students. The low professor to student ratio lent itself to easy discussion and quality learning. The environment at TU made the best of the college experience.<br />
<br />
In 2007, the University of Tulsa was ranked by the Princeton Review as having the sixth happiest students in the nation. As the university was diverse, the chapter was also one of great diversity. The members were close and very involved on campus and in the community. Many had leadership positions in groups such as honors societies, University Ambassadors, PEP, Habitat for Humanity and the Student Association to name a few.<br />
<br />
In 2005, Kappa Rachel Porter became the TU Panhellenic president. Philanthropy events hosted by other Greek groups were well attended by Kappas. The chapter’s social events included Kappa Krush as well as singing karaoke with the Kappa Alpha Fraternity, attending Delta Gamma Anchor Splash and the traditional formal dances.<br />
<br />
One of the challenges for the chapter was increasing the G.P.A. which had fallen in recent semesters. The members implemented a pyramid system with study hours based on each girl’s G.P.A. An officer had to sign off each time they studied. This insured that everyone made academics a priority. The system paid off as the chapter’s G.P.A. rose to second on the row.<br />
<br />
Another challenge was the morale and more participation of the chapter. They brought back owl, key and fleur-de-lis groups to encourage the members to participate in more events and to get everyone excited about being a Kappa. This helped with the unity of the chapter as well as the morale. They continued to work on this challenge by adding new incentives and programs.<br />
<br />
One of the goals during this time was to strengthen the new member program and new member understanding of Kappa Kappa Gamma. The education chairman made a book of biographies of the members to distribute to each new member. This helped the new members feel more at home.<br />
<br />
In the fall of 2007 the new member class was the first to use the alumna buddy program and it was a great success. In addition the Sapphire Sis program was reintroduced in spring 2008. This matches a new member with an older active and it allowed the new members to get to know the upper class sisters and alumnae better than ever before.<br />
<br />
In 2009, the chapter worked on making better use of their committees and gaining more knowledge about the Kappa Foundation and Kappa songs. Some members felt they were not using their committees and they could be more effective and helpful. The solution was to have each committee leader delegate a task to each committee members each month and then report at committee night.<br />
<br />
Another challenge was a lack of education about the Kappa Foundation. To resolve this issue, they planned a philanthropy event to raise money for the Kappa Foundation. This helped promote Philanthropy 1-2-3 as well as educate members about the Foundation.<br />
<br />
They also added a song practice to every formal meeting so that they would all know the ritual songs better. These increased chapter unity as well as help ritual practices go more smoothly. Theta Province Meeting was held in Tulsa in February 2009 as the local alumnae association and Delta Pi chapter hosted the weekend. It was a tremendous time for sisterhood and the experience of meeting chapter women from the other 9 chapters in our province.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Housing:'''<br />
The unique housing situation with the university owning and maintaining the residential part of the house creates different situations. The university did complete some updating and needed repairs. <br />
The House Board continues to maintain the front part of the house with updates and redecorating projects.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:'''<br />
Philanthropy projects supported many community facilities and agencies. Valentines and Easter eggs were delivered to the children at St. Francis Hospital. <br />
<br />
Throughout the school year, chapter members read to children at surrounding elementary schools and donated books to the schools in support of RIF.<br />
<br />
During philanthropy week, Kappasta, an Italian dinner was served to the campus and the Kappa Klassic Dodgeball tournament raised funds to be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer research. Kappachino, a breakfast served to the campus, helped send a donation to the Kappa Foundation and was first hosted in 2010.<br />
Participation in the TU Relay for Life helped represent Colleges Against Cancer.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Traditions:'''<br />
The chapter had 55 members which allowed each member to know every one of her sisters personally. The women of Delta Pi were fun-loving, friendly, accepting and supportive. They have many diverse personalities, backgrounds and interests but take pride in their differences and accept each other openly. Traditionally Kappa was a well respected leader on campus and continued to strive for excellence. Whether it was intramurals or honor societies, musical theatre or chemical engineering, the Delta Pi members were leading the way.<br />

<br />
==The Early Years==<br />
<br />
Cornell University was chartered by the State of New York in 1865 and was opened to students on October 7, 1868. Its founder, Ezra Cornell, had said, “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study,” and although no housing arrangements had been made for women, and no women applied during the first few years, Trustee Henry W. Sage became so interested in women’s admission to the university that he donated money for Sage College, dormitory and social center, and female students were admitted in 1871.<br />
<br />
The university was highly endowed, its faculty was distinguished, admission standards were high, but breeziness prevailed. Attitudes were fresh, and the first women had scholarship, courage and character. In the fall of 1883, five women applied to Kappa Kappa Gamma for a charter (the year before, Kappa Alpha Theta had entered Cornell, and Theta Anna Botsford Comstock, later to become a professor of botany, endorsed the application). Within three weeks the official papers had arrived and with them two members of Tau (later Beta Tau) at Syracuse to initiate Psi’s charter members on November 27.<br />
<br />
In 1885, Psi ardently discussed the question of an open rather than a secret constitution. The next year, the chapter agitated for a new badge design. When this move was defeated at the Akron General Convention, Psi tried, and failed, to develop a new initiation ceremony. When the chapter had to give up its room at Sage its sense of failure and discouragement became acute and a vote was taken (1888) to return the charter. Charlotte Barrell (Ware), Boston, then Grand President, came to Ithaca and persuaded the group to carry on. At the General Convention the following summer, the Psi delegate, Mila Tupper (Maynard) later to become a Unitarian minister, was officially appointed with her chapter to revise and add to the initiation ceremony. Psi’s rebels now had a legitimate outlet for vision and revision.<br />
<br />
Cornell was non-sectarian and might not have been expected to oppose secret societies as so many church-based colleges did, but early in the 1890s there was strong and organized anti-fraternity feeling, by no means limited to Cornell: “A growing opposition to fraternities is noticed in many of our colleges … (it) demands the attention of the fraternity world.” (The Key, December 1891) Forty years later, Psi’s historian, the famous Dr. Mary M. Crawford, wrote in the 1930 History of Kappa Kappa Gamma, “The Greek-letter fraternity system is deeply imbedded in Cornell, both for men and women. It is an integral part of student life, and with all its obvious faults it adds much to the lives of its proponents. The privilege carries with it a high obligation to give back generously of the results of this privilege and it is the aim of all Psi Kappas to serve their University to the extent of their abilities. If Cornell spirit and class spirit dwindle because of Kappa spirit, then the real object of the Fraternity has failed … .”<br />
<br />
Cornell’s attitude toward women had always been adult. There were a few rules of safety and decorum but never any attempt to stand in loco parentis. Career-oriented young women thrived in this atmosphere, there were no dropouts or “bustouts” (failures), and women of Psi have always been vigorous in their pursuit of professional careers.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Honors and Traditions'''<br />
<br />
No other chapter has received more Kappa Alumnae Achievement Awards. Margaret Cuthbert was the first, in 1946. At that time, she was director of the women’s division of NBC and was one of three Kappas included in the Women’s National Press Club of Washington, D.C., list of Ten Women of the Year. In 1949, Dr. Mary “Molly” Crawford (Schuster) was honored by Kappa as a Cornell trustee, as head of the Health Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and as a pioneer ambulance surgeon. Dr. Emily Dunning Barringer, the first female ambulance surgeon in New York, was honored in 1952. In 1962, two Psi members received the award: Lieutenant Colonel Emily Gorman, director of the Women’s Army Corps, Washington, D.C., and Dr. Adelaide Romaine (Kinkele), specialized in industrial medicine. In 2006,Marilyn Gross Coors was recognized for her work as an ethics and genetics professor and researcher. This record of achievement is no accident. Cornell has always demanded that its students be aggressive, questioning, independent, factors that make for outstanding alumnae performance.<br />
<br />
It is a privilege to read the names of Psi members, once names known country-wide, and names that gave prestige and strength to Psi and to the Fraternity. The Balch Halls at Cornell were the gift of Janet Jacks Balch and her husband, and Balch Hall at Scripps College also carries her name; Grace Van Sweringen Baer was professor of Germanic Languages at the University of Colorado; Nora Blatch Barney was well known as a civil engineer, architect, contractor and women’s suffrage leader; Bernice Andrews Fernow, Amy Otis, and Adna Huestis Simpson were artists; Elizabeth Rhodes Jackson, Martha Didson, and Lucy Mary Park (Clarke), writers and editor; Harriet Anthony was a pioneer female photography who went to Boston, hobnobbed with Phi members, and her own studio. Another outstanding member was Dorothy Masterman McNeill who retired in 1973 as a Philadelphia newspaper executive. Province and Fraternity officers include the names of Jennie Angell (Mengel), Grand Treasurer, 1892–94; Graduate Counselor Doris Heath (Webster), 1938–39; Sally Schwartz Muzii, Director of Pledge Training, 1972–75, and Mu Province Director of Chapters; two editors of The Key, Mary Josephine Hull, 1894–95, and Elizabeth Rhodes Jackson, 1910–14, the founder of Beta Alpha Chapter in 1890, Lois Otis; and Catherine Alt Schultz, Director of Membership, 1956–60, and 1955–56 Chairman of Rehabilitation Services.<br />
<br />
The chapter has always been proud of its outstanding members, but the chapter of 1902 and the readers of The Key took to their hearts the story of a member who had been basketball captain, treasurer of Sports and Pastimes, member of honoraries and a professor’s daughter. On January 3, 1902, she died suddenly, and was eulogized in the April issue of The Key. “The promise of a noble womanhood was disappointed in her death,” and in memory of this beloved young person who had “rowed in the Sage boat,” her parents gave a rowboat, “safe and well-made” for the use of the women at Cornell.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Housing'''<br />
<br />
During the 1890s, the meeting place for the chapter had shifted from Sage College to rooms in different parts of Ithaca. In the fall of 1917, a first house was rented and by 1921 sufficient funds had been raised to buy. Janet Balch gave $5,000 “with her usual Kappa-Cornell generosity,” and other alumnae contributed. The house, 508 Thurston Avenue, had been the home of Beverly Baines, romantic partner of early film idol Francis X. Bushman at a time when Ithaca had been the center of the motion picture industry (1912–1920). This house was razed in 1936 and a modern brick house was built on the site. It was opened in the fall of 1937 for the Alpha Province Convention, and was famed as the first Kappa house for which steel construction had been used. At this time, Mary Geisler Phillips, Pennsylvania, (See Beta Alpha history) was corporation president. Her usefulness to Psi might have been said to have balanced Beta Alpha’s indebtedness to Psi, since Lois Otis had resigned from her own beloved chapter in order to found Beta Alpha while she did graduate work in Philadelphia.<br />
<br />
In 1957, at Province Meeting in Ithaca, plans were made to build a larger house for Psi and the ideal location of the existing building caused a decision to enlarge rather than rebuild. Many changes were made, including facilities for visitors and a new wing with a suite for the house director. Two-thirds of the chapter could be housed and the chapter grew more unified and aware of its responsibilities and the pleasures of group living. In 1961, the dean of students said of Psi, “The women of Psi chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma have made the Panhellenic Creed a living reality on our campus and the student community has profited from their positive leadership. As a group, they have shown thoughtful concern for others while preserving the uniqueness of the individual. Their sense of community responsibility and their positions of leadership in campus organizations have earned for them a place of respect on the Cornell campus.”<br />
<br />
The further report in The Key (winter 1961) included an account of a series of programs given by Psi featuring a travelogue, a concert, lectures on 20th-century Russia, and a plan of meal exchanges and a Christmas party with foreign students. The year was marked by the positive presence of a Graduate Counselor Martha Simmons (Murray), Akron and an outstanding record in campus activities. The chapter President was elected to Mortar Board and Phi Beta Kappa and was accepted by the Yale Law School. A successful attempt had been made to approach a balance between social and cultural goals of the Fraternity, with an active responsibility in campus life and personal education and betterment. It was the stated opinion of the incoming chapter President that “a fraternity must be more than a mere living unit or a group organized primarily for social activities.” It was a statement she felt that had to be true in practice “if the fraternity system is to meet and overcome the increasing number of attacks being made on it.” Long-range planning, she knew, was necessary and the chapter was working together … it was her hope that Psi would continue to follow the example of its early members.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Changes and Challenges'''<br />
<br />
The 1960s were troublesome years on the campuses of the country. Student revolt was common, although Cornell, always liberal, had less “trouble” than many schools. To ensure that there were no areas of discrimination or unfair practices on the campus, the trustees prepared a “report on residential environment” making strict demands in all university-approved housing, including fraternities. The demands included abolition of mandatory recommendations systems and of the unanimous vote for membership, and the surrender of rituals if charges were made that discrimination was suspected in these documents. The Council of Kappa Kappa Gamma decided that such local autonomy was contrary to Kappa constitutional procedure and could not be countenanced.<br />
Certain irregularities had placed Psi on probation warning in 1967, and probation was voted by Council in January, 1968. <br />
<br />
That June, Council voted to continue probation, a condition to be terminated in January 1969, either by a removal of probation or by dismissal proceedings. In January, the Council voted unanimously to start dismissal proceedings and the chapter was so notified by Louise Little Barbeck, SNU, then Fraternity President. Kappa Psi, a local group, was immediately formed to preserve the existing chapter. A rushing (recruitment) program, which had been planned before the dismissal, was carried out, and the chapter life continued with Psi and Kappa Psi existing in one body until October 1969, when the end of the 86-year-old chapter was marked. The last days were attended by cloudy rhetoric, personal grievances, misunderstandings, lack of communication and unfortunate timing. Psi had been an unusual chapter, with an interesting history. <br />
<br />
It had been of value to the Fraternity, and it has been difficult for some members to be objective in considering it. It is interesting to note that even after the dismissal, the Fraternity President wrote to the chapter President expressing deep interest in the outcome of the rushing period.<br />
<br />
A distinguished alumna wrote in the summer 1903 issue of The Key, “We have found that we can keep our high fraternity ideal and loyalty while losing not a jot of our class spirit and our college loyalty. The two aid each other instead of the one interest pulling away from the other We need the college interests, they need us; we stand or fall together.”<br />
<br />
An initiate of Psi during the 1960s recalled in 1975 a relaxation of the bond between chapter and the Fraternity, a detachment that she felt could have been caused by an increased individual self-absorption, fewer members to perform the necessary jobs, changing mores among college students with greater stress of action independent of parental and school guidance.<br />
“I am and I was proud to be a Kappa,” she said, “and I was very grieved when Psi Chapter was dropped. It was a loss for both Kappa and Cornell and most especially for the girls attending Cornell.”<br />

<br />
==Psi Deuteron Chapter Installed==<br />
<br />
During the weekend of April 22–24, 1977, Psi Chapter was reinstated as Psi Deuteron Chapter. This momentous occasion marked the first chapter to be reinstalled since Alpha Chapter in 1934.<br />
It was with great pleasure that the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity Council accepted the petition of Kappa Psi local to become a chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma and initiate all members of the local desiring to affiliate with Kappa. In 1969 when the Psi charter was relinquished to the Fraternity, Kappa Psi was formed with the remaining members and continued to grow and prosper as a local sorority for seven years until the chapter voted to unite with the Fraternity. Kappa Kappa Gamma proudly welcomed Psi Deuteron Chapter into the fold of our sisterhood. There were 46 Kappa Psi actives, 11 Kappa Psi alumnae and 29 Kappa Psi new members initiated during this momentous weekend. At this time, there were 49 men’s fraternities and eight women’s fraternities on campus.<br />
<br />
The alumnae in Ithaca were of great assistance in preparing Kappa Psi members for the Installation weekend. Marjorie Matson Converse, Purdue, served as Installation Chairman, and the installing officers were Jean Hess Wells, Georgia, Fraternity President, and Sally Moore Nitschke, Ohio State, Director of Membership. Jean Ebright Elin and Diane Miller Selby, both Ohio State, traveled from Fraternity Headquarters to assist Field Secretary Janice Harenberg, New Mexico, who arrived to help the Alpha Province Directors with Installation of the new chapter and Initiation of its charter members.<br />
<br />
The Friday evening fireside was held at the Kappa house with a reception following. The Saturday services were most impressive with six alumnae from Rochester, New York, joining the Ithaca alumnae and the many returning Psi alumnae from across the continent. Several legacies were initiated and many tears swelled as one 1917 initiate had the honor of initiating her granddaughter.<br />
<br />
The initiation banquet was held at Ithaca College, a small liberal arts school, on the other side of Ithaca. A magnificent building housed the Terrace Dining Room—complete with ponds and fountains all inside the dining hall. Some highlights of the evening were the presentation of an original Ritual Book belonging to Psi, which pre-dated 1900. Done on parchment, it was illuminated and handwritten with watercolor pages. The Psi Deuteron President presented it to the Fraternity and she was in turn given a president’s key badge of rubies from the Rochester Alumnae Association.<br />
<br />
Beverly Knapp Pullis, St. Lawrence, gave the Fraternity a copy of an old songbook, which she discovered in the archives of the Rochester Alumnae Association as she prepared to be song leader for Installation. Three 50-year pins were presented as well. Perhaps the most surprising of all was the announcement that Psi alumnae from all over the continent had given more than $1,100 to be used for redecorating the Kappa house.<br />
<br />
Marj Converse served as toastmistress, and Sally Nitschke gave the banquet address. A toast was made by a member of Beta Beta Deuteron and a former Kappa Psi President gave the response. A hit of the evening was a 64-year Kappa who told about what life was like on campus in 1909. She remembered that the dean of women told the girls not to wear taffeta petticoats because they were too suggestive! The lovely Passing of the Light ceremony closed the evening.<br />
<br />
Amid rain and fog on Sunday, a model chapter meeting was held at the Kappa House and then a lovely campus reception followed in the Johnson Art Gallery overlooking Lake Cayuga. <br />
<br />
During the years when Kappa Psi local chapter existed, five Kappa Kappa Gamma alumnae served the chapter as a house board to maintain the home at 508 Thurston Avenue. Built in 1937, the house was enlarged in 1957 to house 36 members. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Highlights of the 1980s:==<br />

'''Celebration of Psi Chapter’s Centennial Anniversary'''<br />
<br />
Psi Deuteron Chapter celebrated the centennial anniversary of Psi Chapter’s founding at Cornell during the 1983 homecoming weekend. Although the Psi Chapter had been inactive from 1969 until 1977, the Kappa tradition was maintained by the local group, Kappa Psi. This was a special celebration of the 100 years since the 1883 founding of Psi Chapter.<br />
<br />
The weekend kicked off with a Friday evening banquet at Cornell’s historical Moakley House with alumna Dale Arrison Grossman as keynote speaker. She was a Cornell professor in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences as well as Psi Chapter’s Finance Adviser. Pamela Hanna Haggin was toastmistress. <br />
<br />
Awards and gifts made at the banquet included a women’s crew shell by Germanine Miller Gallagher to the women of the crew team, as a tribute to the ongoing sisterhood and success of Psi Chapter. This was accepted by Psi Deuteron actives and crew members Rhonda Alexis and Susan Reusswig. The presentation of a commemorative scholarship to Cornell University was made by Eloise Moore Netherton, Texas, Director of Philanthropy, and was accepted by Janice Oblack, Assistant Dean of Fraternities and Sororities. The evening ended with special recognition given to Kappas in attendance, such as Jewel Shaw, who was the eldest Psi alumna to travel to Ithaca for the celebration.<br />
<br />
The reminder of the weekend was spent in a whirl of homecoming and Centennial activities including Saturday’s continental breakfast, tailgate party prior to the homecoming football game against Yale, and Sunday morning’s farewell brunch held at the Kappa House where alumnae were able to enjoy historical memorabilia, tour the house and reminisce with old friends.<br />
<br />
During the 1987-1988 year, the chapter organized the first sorority sponsored blood drive. In addition, chapter members went to Colgate to help with the installation of that new chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. New house parents, Dave and Mims Zimmermann arrived.<br />
<br />
In 1988–89 a new house family arrived, Dave, Anna and (three year old) Whitney Brown. The chapter served as the Big Sister sorority for Alpha Omicron Pi, a new sorority on campus. Each of the six schools at Cornell was represented by members of Kappa Kappa Gamma this year. The chapter participated in the Greek-wide clean-up and planted crocus bulbs in front of the women’s dormitory.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Highlights of the 1990s==<br />
<br />
'''Housing:''' <br />
<br />
In 1990, a window with the Kappa Kappa Gamma crest was installed in the foyer. In addition, the living and dining rooms were redecorated with wall paper and curtains and the basement was repainted.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:''' <br />
<br />
In 1994, the chapter along with other sororities on campus participated in a very successful food drive for the Salvation Army. In 1995, the chapter took part in numerous campus-wide and community-wide philanthropic events, including the Salvation Army canned food drive and clothing drive for the needy.<br />
<br />
In 1997, the chapter participated in chaperoning middle school dances, working with the Ithaca Rape Crisis Center, and competing in the famous Greek-wide Fun-in-the-Sun event. <br />
Chapter Convention Awards: At 1994 convention, Psi Deuteron won two Fraternity awards – Honorable Mention for Outstanding Achievement and Outstanding Achievement for Risk Management.<br />
1990–91: In recognition of 120 years of Kappa Kappa Gamma, a traveling consultant spoke to the chapter. The chapter pledged four girls from Hawaii. Members of the chapter were involved in singing organizations, political forums, publications, public relations, varsity athletics, theater and dancing groups. The chapter president was also the captain of the Cornell women’s soccer team. The chapter worked hard to uphold Kappa standards with increased enthusiasm, participation, knowledge and support of the sisterhood. Events included a holiday party for sisters and guests, Parent’s Week-end, tailgating at Cornell football games, a faculty BBQ with Sigma Chi a haunted house philanthropy with Phi Delta Theta and a wearing disorders workshop for in-house sisters. <br />
<br />
In 1994, Psi Deuteron chapter was named “All Sports Champions” for intramural sports. House parents Tom and Amy Fisher welcomed son Thomas into their family and the chapter welcomed him home from the hospital in February. The chapter goal for the year was “Participation + Sister Involvement = PSI established to improve the productivity of the chapter through committees and sister cooperation. The chapter also accepted the Challenge to Excellence for the fourth year in a row and fulfilled 94% of the fraternity requirements. <br />
<br />
The 125th Anniversary Celebration was held in October 1995. The chapter helped Thomas celebrate his first birthday as the Psi chapter’s ‘house baby’ complete with cake and ice cream. And, Thomas walked and talked for the chapter at the party! The chapter had women participating in soccer, crew, ski, hockey, polo, squash, and water polo during the year.<br />
<br />
The chapter participated in fall rush for the first time, recruiting five new members to compliment the 26 women pledged in the spring. New house parents, David and Debbie Passey announced the expectation of a new baby, due in April of 1998.<br />

<br />
'''Housing:''' <br />
<br />
The chapter is faced with an older, aging facility. In 2005, the house was rewired to provide a better internet system and the availability of wireless hook ups. The ‘quarter-needing’ washings and dryers were removed and replaced with new state of the art machines. Plans were underway to do some basement leak repairs and renovate the hardwood floors.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:''' <br />
<br />
The chapter organized philanthropic events benefiting local causes including Kappa Dogs where members sold hot dogs to raise money for the Family Reading Partnership (a local literary program) and the Chili Cook-off where members collected canned food and raised money for the United Way of Tompkins County. <br />
<br />
In 2008, the chapter participated in many different philanthropy events on campus and in the Ithaca community including Relay for Life and Daffodil Days to raise awareness and money for cancer, Into the Streets to serve the local community with service projects, the United Way of Tompkins County to support and annual campaign, and the Elf Program which provides backpacks filled with school supplies for underserved children.<br />
<br />
In 2009, the chapter was very busy philanthropically. The chapter held it’s third annual Kappa Dogs event to raise money for the Family Reading Partnership, had Trick or Treat at Kappa, helped with reading and working on crafts including face painting kids at the Greater Ithaca Activities center and the public library, decorating cookies for IthaKids, selling tanagram kits for spring break to fundraise for the Gaza crisis, and starting a penpal program and donating children’s books to Even Start. In addition, the chapter donated $25,000 to Tompkins-Seneca-Tioga Even Start, a program aimed at creating family literacy through adult education, early childhood education, childcare, and parent-child workshops.<br />
<br />
Chapter Convention Awards: At the 2004 Kappa Convention, the chapter received an honorable mention for Outstanding Recruitment and Risk Management. And, the chapter received an award for Most Improved Chapter as well. <br />
<br />
During 2004-2005, when the chapter was cleaning the archive closet, pledge books and old Kappa letters dating from the 1800’s were discovered. Archives and pledge books were displayed every Sunday for members to peruse. The Psi Deuteron chapter was recognized by Cornell University for being the Most Improved Chapter and Chapter with the most Outstanding Service to the Community. <br />
In 2006, Psi Deuteron Chapter was awarded the Most Spirited Chapter during Greek Week on campus, a week of competitions in which all Panhellenic groups participate. The chapter has continued to participate in Creating Chapters of Excellence, which brings many of the sorority and fraternity groups on the Cornell chapters together through events and discussions. <br />
<br />
In 2007, Psi Deuteron chapter received the Outstanding New Member Education Program award from Cornell University during the year. <br />
<br />
The chapter took up the challenge to strengthen its 2009 New Member program during the year. In addition, the chapter implemented some new senior programming activities and placed more emphasis on committees to allow members to participate in improving the chapter presently and into the future. <br />
<br />
During 2009–10, the chapter put in a lot of effort to unify the chapter and promote a positive image of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Sister-sister bonding events included rotational dinners, a senior-sophomore dinner, cultural foods night, an alumni event called Baila Con Kappa Salsa Night, Trillium Tuesday lunches and a Homecoming/Founders Day Brunch with alumnae. <br />

Founded in 1937 by George Pepperdine, Pepperdine University is a private, nondenominational Christian university that includes an undergraduate liberal arts college and three graduate schools. Approximately 7,550 attended the Malibu campus on 830 acres overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the time of the chapter’s founding, coming from all 50 states and more than 60 foreign countries. The school is well known for its departments of telecommunication and business administration, as well as for participation at the NCAA Division I level in baseball, water polo and tennis.<br />

'''Colonization:'''<br />
<br />
Kappa Kappa Gamma came to the shores of sunny California on April 1, 1996, when the Fraternity pledged 60 young women of the local sorority Zeta Kappa, and four alumnae, at Pepperdine University establishing the colony that became the Eta Beta Chapter. The pledging ceremony took place in the Pepperdine Chapel overlooking the Pacific Ocean. <br />
<br />
Alumnae in the Malibu, Calif., area joined chapter members from Gamma Xi, UCLA, Delta Tau, Southern California, and Epsilon Xi, Cal. State, Northridge. Before pledging Kappa Kappa Gamma, the group was a longstanding local sorority-the largest on campus. At the University's request, the entire sorority system sought national affiliation. Other National Panhellenic groups colonizing on the Pepperdine campus were Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Kappa.

==History of University of Vermont==<br />
<br />
The University of Vermont was chartered in 1791; the same year that Vermont became the 14th state. It was established as the fifth college in New England (after Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and Brown). The initials UVM stand for the Latin words Universitas Viridis Montis, or University of the Green Mountains. The phrase appears on the university's official seal as Universitas V. Montis.<br />
<br />
Much of the initial funding and planning for the university was undertaken by Ira Allen, who is honored as UVM's founder. His statue sits on the university's main green. The citizens of Burlington helped fund the university's first building, and, when fire destroyed it in 1824, also paid for its replacement, the Old Mill building. The Marquis de Lafayette, a French general who became a commander in the American Revolution, laid the cornerstone for the Old Mill which still stands on University Row, along with Ira Allen Chapel, Billings Library, Williams Hall, Royall Tyler Theatre and Morrill Hall. A statue of Lafayette sits on the north end of the main green.<br />
<br />
Although it began as a private university, UVM attained quasi-public status with the passage of the Morrill Land-Grant College Act in 1862 and the addition of the State Agricultural College. Today, the university blends the traditions of both a private and public university, drawing 16 percent of its general fund (and about 8 percent of its current operating budget) from the state of Vermont.<br />
<br />
Throughout its history, the University of Vermont has demonstrated its commitment to fairness and equality. It was the first American college or university with a charter plainly declaring that the "rules, regulations, and by-laws shall not tend to give preference to any religious sect or denomination whatsoever." In addition, the university was an early advocate of both women's and African-Americans' participation in higher education. In 1871, UVM defied custom and admitted two women as students. Four years later, it was the first American university to admit women to full membership into Phi Beta Kappa, the country's oldest collegiate academic honor society. Likewise, in 1877, it initiated the first African-American into the society.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''Colonization:'''<br />
<br />
On March 21-23, 1980, Zeta Delta Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma colonized at the historic and beautiful University of Vermont. This colonization was held at the University’s 224 acre campus, spread out along a ridge overlooking the city of Burlington and Lake Champlain. The campus included more than 30 architecturally distinctive buildings, including the largest library in the state. These buildings were clustered around several large and sprawling campus greens. Just a short distance away are the valleys, mountains, and rural countryside revealing the varied aspects of Vermont life.<br />
<br />
The city of Burlington, located downhill toward the lake from the campus, is a vital and historic New England city. Just a short distance from the campus, the city offers interesting shops, restaurants, and many other entertainments. Since the campus separates the rural countryside from the city down the hill, the students can enjoy the best of both environments.<br />
Following only four other Ivy League institutions (Harvard, Yale, Brown and Dartmouth) the University of Vermont (UVM) offers a choice of more than 100 majors from its collection of colleges and schools. Half the students come from Vermont, while another quarter comes from the other New England states. These students chose UVM because of its superior academic reputation because of Vermont’s varied and beautiful environment. UVM tends to attract students who are involved and active, so there are 70 different student organizations on campus. Five other sororities and 15 fraternities are associated with UVM and are close to the academic center of campus.<br />
<br />
Due to a strong and expanding Greek system, the Panhellenic was well prepared to welcome a new sorority to UVM. After the initial contact with the University, advance planning and organization by Marjorie Matson Converse, Purdue, chairman of extension, and confirmation of a graduate counselor, Panhellenic invited Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity to colonize a chapter at UVM. <br />
The Kappa colonization rush team began with Marj Converse, who made the initial contact and plans but was unable to attend due to a broken hip. A week before colonization weekend, Barbara Laitner, Colorado, field secretary, met with Mary Malloy, Panhellenic adviser, Kathy Geraghty, Panhellenic Vice President in charge of Rush, and other UVM officials. She worked on rush party details and organized the Burlington alumnae. Sally Leach Peterjohn, Colorado, and Lilli Johnston Copp, Florida State, Burlington alumnae, helped with preparing and executing parties, interviewing, and hostessing. Marian Klingbeil Williams, Missouri, director or membership, and Sally Moore Nitschke, Ohio State, director of chapters, directed the colonization rush in addition to securing references, interviewing rushes, and making selections. Patty Coffee Gesell, Penn State, province director of alumnae, and Judy Farnham Preston, Boston, province director of chapters, assisted in all areas which helped the colonization run smoothly. Other Burlington alumnae, Carry Pugh Shenk, Ohio State, and Jane Kuhn Titus, Ohio Wesleyan, also lent their support to the colonization efforts.<br />
<br />
The four active chapters represented worked as a confident Kappa unit. Psi Deuteron from Cornell came back from spring vacation early to help. Delta Delta from McGill added their support after a long bus ride from Montreal. Delta Mu from the University of Connecticut traveled seven and a half hours to participate. Beta Beta Deuteron, St. Lawrence, sent seven sophomores and juniors who sang, smiled, and helped keep spirits high. All these Kappa actives rushed their hardest for the new Zeta Delta Colony. They provided excellent support for the alumnae and added the spirit of active Kappa life.<br />
<br />
The team went into action for the first rush party held on Friday night in the John Dewey Memorial Lounge. The large, historic room was filled with rushees, Panhellenic members, several UVM officials, plus Kappa actives and alumnae. After welcoming the rushees, refreshments were served while slides and a narrative about "The Spirit of Kappa" were presented. Beta Beta Deuteron and Psi Deuteron chapters entertained with songs as the party ended. The rushees enthusiastically signed-up for interviews which would be held the next day. <br />
<br />
The preference brunch was held in the Faculty Dining Room in Waterman Hall. The atmosphere was informal yet sincere, and the food was excellent. Psi Deuteron chapter added a special touch by bringing decorations from its preference party. The brunch was followed by a program highlighted with Kappa actives. <br />
<br />
Formal pledging followed the preference brunch. As a result, Kappa gained 25 bright, attractive, active pledges from the University of Vermont, including one junior, 19 sophomores, and five freshmen. Four girls were from Vermont and 21 from other states. One legacy was included in this group. <br />
<br />
After that weekend, the new Zeta Delta Colony was very busy. The Stowe Ski Resort was the location for their first retreat. The group stayed in the State Ski Dormitory while getting to know each other better and learning everything they could about Kappa. With the help of Barb Laitner and Lilli Copp, they elected officers, and were involved in pledge conferences with Sally Peterjohn and Lilli Copp.<br />
<br />
They attended a Kite and Key party with the Thetas, a barbeque at a park on Lake Champlain, a colony dinner at a pizza parlor, and held a reception for area alumnae. The new pledges organized a Picker singing group and already had several philanthropic projects in mind. Panhellenic provided big sisters for the new colony members and they had Kappa Big Sisters from the Dartmouth Chapter in addition to their special Kappa friends who participated in rush. As the semester ended, Zeta Delta Colony looked forward to its first rush, their initiation <br />
as charter members, and the installation of their colony. They were already functioning as enthusiastic and energetic Kappas! ''The Key'', Summer 1980, page 5<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Installation:'''<br />
The colorful foliage and crisp, clear air on the weekend of October 17–19, 1980, provided the perfect atmosphere as Kappas gathered for the Installation of Zeta Delta Chapter at the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont. The university’s 224 acre campus spreads along a ridge overlooking the city of Burlington on the shore of Lake Champlain, and the Vermont countryside offers a backdrop of mountains, valleys and farms for a campus strong in academic reputation and Vermont environment. <br />
<br />
Installing officers included Sally Moore Nitschke, Ohio State, Fraternity President; Marian Klingbeil Williams, Missouri, Director of Chapters; Marjorie Matson Converse, Purdue, Extension Chairman; Judith Farnham Preston, Boston, Rho Province Director of Chapters; Patricia Coffee Gesell, Penn State, Rho Province Director of Alumnae; and Gretchen VanderVeer, Cincinnati, Graduate Counselor.<br />
<br />
Planning and organizing the Installation since early August were Sally Leach Peterjohn, Colorado, and Lilli Johnston Copp, Florida State, co-chairmen. Jane Kuhn Titus, Ohio Wesleyan, was registration chairman, and many other Central Vermont Alumnae were most helpful in the preparations. <br />
<br />
The setting for installation was the First Congregational Church in Burlington, located in the center of the city with its beautiful façade of tall white pillars, white bell towers and constructed with red brick. The inspiring Fireside Service was attended by alumnae and actives, and the spontaneous concert of Kappa songs at the conclusion of the evening showed the eagerness of the colony members to join in Kappa traditions.<br />
<br />
Dinnie Texter Callahan, Colorado, and Jane Coombs, Miami, drove the Kappa van from Fraternity Headquarters in Columbus and oversaw the setup for installation. Karen Bosch, Minnesota, field secretary, and Jannie Gustafson, Colorado, graduate counselor from Connecticut were joined in the installation by graduate counselors Anna Corotto, Stanford, from Dartmouth; and Linda Pierson, Penn State, from Babson. Also taking part in the service was chapter president Katherine Huffman, Connecticut. Actives from other Rho and Alpha province chapters included Connecticut, Massachusetts, McGill, St. Lawrence, Babson and Syracuse. Several chapter advisers and alumnae from Dartmouth attended as did Jackie Balhatcher Downey, Northwestern; Lea Thomason Bemis, Penn State; and Marge Koza Gacso, Syracuse, representing the Fairfield County Alumnae Association.<br />
<br />
Following the Installation, a reception was held at the Klifka Club in Burlington. The afternoon reception drew a crowd of 250 including alumnae, parents and guests, University of Vermont administrators, Panhellenic representatives, and members of the 15 fraternities and five sororities on the UVM campus. An enthusiastic welcome was given and each NPC women’s group presented the new chapter with a beautiful floral arrangement. The Panhellenic executive committee even added to the celebration by presenting the chapter with a large bunch of colorful helium balloons. The reception was planned by June Conklin assisted by Gertrude Jolls Winde, Swarthmore.<br />
<br />
A lovely banquet was planned for that evening by Marilyn Chase and held at the Burlington Country Club. A welcome was extended to friends and relatives of the new chapter by Sally Peterjohn. Marj Converse served as toastmistress, and Corrine Richard, the associate dean of students, welcomed the new chapter to UVM. She was enthusiastic about the added diversity that Kappa would help to provide all university women who were seeking to join NPC.<br />
<br />
Gretchen VanderVeer, Graduate Counselor, gave a lovely toast to the new chapter, and Debbie Cockayne, Zeta Delta President, responded. The installation address was given by Sally tNitschke, Fraternity President. Marian Williams, Director of Chapters, read greetings from across the nations, and several Kappas were honored with 50-year pins including Jean Cowman Ross, Syracuse, and Carolyn Lee Allen, Middlebury. Debbie Cockayne was presented with a President’s badge for the new chapter which was a gift from Alpha Province.<br />
<br />
Patty Gesell helped the chapter open many lovely gifts including a hand-carved Kappa coat-of-arms from the Central Vermont Alumnae Club, an engraved gavel from the Greater Hartford Alumnae Association, candlesticks from the Bay Colony and Boston Intercollegiate groups, a painting of an owl and fleur-de-lis by artist Carrye Pugh Schenk, Beta Nu—Ohio State, pin pillows from Delta Nu—Massachusetts, and a trunk to contain Kappa materials from Epsilon Chi—Dartmouth. The new members presented a special banner. Patty Gesell and Judy Preston gave a chapter award, in the form of a fleur-de-lis pin, given in honor of Betty Deifenbach for a Zeta Delta member who best exemplifies the ideals of the Fraternity.<br />
<br />
The banquet closed with the traditional ceremony and the following morning the new members held a model chapter meeting. A true spirit of togetherness prevailed as the new chapter looked ahead to growth and being part of Kappa Kappa Gamma on the Vermont campus.<br />
<br />
In 1987 a retreat was held at an adviser’s house. Zeta Delta pledged 17 new members in the Fall. A number of cosmetic updates were given to the house. The chapter grew to approximately 40- members. It pledged the largest number of women during Recruitment, and achieved the highest GPA. Order of Omega society was established and Kimberly Heinig Pegg (’88) was a charter member. The chapter was continuing to face challenges of overall campus attitudes towards Greeks.<br />
<br />
In 1988, 12-new members pledged in the Fall, plus 4 new members in the Spring. The chapter members enjoy participating in the Greek Games and won the Spirit Cup. Christmas Cocktails was a fun holiday tradition. The Apple Polishing event with professors was designed to help establish more understanding of Greeks on campus. The chapter focused on Organization with increased planning efforts in place. <br />
<br />
The chapter won the all around most improved sorority from UVM’s Panhellenic in 1989. It participated in both a Spring and Fall Recruitments. Fall Recruitment resulted in 20 new members. The chapter size grew to 60 this year and it was very well thought of despite being one of the small groups on campus. The members focused on “Back to Basics” to emphasize the most important things surrounding Kappa. The chapter changed to a committee system (sisterhood, business, membership, education). tMany of the members received campus academic and overall awards. <br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:'''<br />
<br />
During the late 1980s the chapter gave monetary donations to the Vermont Epilepsy Association, Women Helping Battered Women, and clothing donations to the Salvation Army. The money was raised from a plant sale. A Holiday party was held for children of Burlington’s Women Helping Battered Women Shelter.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Highlights of the 1990s==<br />
<br />
The chapter celebrated its 10th Anniversary on campus – October 10th celebration. It won the All Around Most Improved Sorority Award again. Laura Zahner won the Most Outstanding Greek Woman Award. The chapter also won Most Improved Chapter Award at Province Meeting (Newport, RI). <br />
<br />
Ten new members were pledged during Recruitment. The chapter and Fraternity began planning for the purchase of a new house. There were 42 members of the chapter. tThe members worked on getting off the Warning of Probation, with the assistance of some Traveling Consultants. The members enjoyed the Monmouth Duo party with Pi Beta Phi in March 1990. <br />
<br />
A new house purchased summer in 1991 and much work was done to the beautiful 19th Century home. The house had 22-bedroom house and 32 women lived in the house. The women started moving into the house August 24, 1991. Although the chapter total was only 48-members but there was hope that the new house would continue to foster growth. <br />
<br />
The chapter focused on Sisterhood and Unity. The goal was to maintain a 90% membership attendance at meetings, and the year ended with an 84% average attendance. There were five new members added in the Fall making a total of 16 new members for the year.<br />
Philanthropy:<br />
1990: Birchwood Terrace Nursing Home<br />
1991: Birchwood Terrace Nursing Home; participated in the Giving Tree event with gifts to local children<br />
<br />
Zeta Delta founded 1in 1980, closed in 1994 having initiated 238 members. The Greek system at Vermont was well established when Kappa installed its chapter there and the chapters were housed. The Kappa chapter was unable to survive among the established groups. <br />
<br />
The members voted to surrender its charter and the Fraternity Council voted to accept it with regret. 2000 History, Kappa Kappa Gamma Through the Years</div>10.0.0.122https://wiki.kkg.org/index.php?title=Alpha_Deuteron&diff=1938Alpha Deuteron2012-07-10T14:54:28Z<p>10.0.0.122: </p>

'''Historical excerpts:''' <br />
<br />
“Anna Willits, Minnie Stewart, Jennie Boyd and Louise Bennett! <br />
Founders ye of Kappa Gamma …<br />
Would that you had left more record<br />
of your life in Alpha Chapter …”<br />
<br />
(from the report of '''Florence Burton Roth''', Beta Delta--''Michigan'', Historian at the 1916 General Convention, Ithaca, New York)<br />
<br />
“Forty years is a long time to remember what did not seem too very important at the time …” ('''Martha Louisa Stevenson Miller''', ''Monmouth'')<br />
<br />
“We were just a happy, harmonious group of lively girls with a keen sense of loyalty to Kappa and to each other, with strict regard to the quality of membership and sacredness of our badge … there seemed little to record … as so many of us lived in Monmouth, we clung together and held our meetings for some years after fraternities were banished … the chapter finally became only a memory.” ('''Alice Pillsbury Shelley Resor''', A-''Monmouth'', ''The Key'', October 1929)<br />
<br />
In September 1856, Monmouth, a three-year-old academy, opened as a coeducational college with the blessing of the Associate Reformed, later the United Presbyterian Church. Chapters of men’s fraternities Beta Theta Pi and Delta Tau Delta appeared in 1865, and Phi Gamma Delta in 1866. The I.C. Sorosis, founded for women in 1867, had not yet become Pi Beta Phi when Kappa Kappa Gamma was created. '''M. Louise Bennet (Boyd)''' and her future sister-in-law, '''H. Jeannette Boyd''', thought of organizing; considered first limiting membership to girls taking the classical course; but realized how much their choice of members would be narrowed; and “gave up that exclusive idea.”<br />
<br />
== 1870 - 1880 ==<br />
<br />
In January 1870, Kappa Alpha Theta had been founded in Greencastle, Indiana, at Asbury (later DePauw) University. Baird’s American College Fraternities, 1883, has it that “a proposition to establish a chapter of another fraternity suggested the idea of creating this new one.” But Louise Bennett insisted, “We had not heard of any other Greek-letter fraternity for girls at that time and always considered ourselves the first. … If any girl came from Greencastle … to invite our girls to join Kappa Alpha Theta … I never heard of it.”<br />
<br />
This ignorance is reasonable. Between the time “two college girls … held a schoolgirls’ conversation out of which grew the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity” on that little wooden bridge made famous by a Monmouth College president, and the day when six girls walked into a chapel wearing their new keys, and announced themselves to a college population, which already knew about them, a matter of months have passed. If they had known of any competition they would have been eager to be on with the game—but no, they waited until their badges had been made up by the jeweler. Then they were ready.<br />
<br />
The ''Monmouth College Courier'' waited too, and in October 1870, wrote, “The long expected ship hove into sight some days ago … When the crew came ashore … the dignified mien and grace … evinced the residence of authority … they wear a little gold key, sometimes on their foreheads, sometimes on their little blue or red jackets … we have been able to count only six of them .. they are on a voyage of discovery.”<br />
<br />
The fact that both Thetas and Kappas announced themselves by marching proudly into chapel means only that chapel was the one sure place to catch the collective eye of the student body. It is recorded that “the Greek-letter boys cheered and stamped … (it was) quite a while before Dr. Wallace (the college president) got them quieted down.”<br />
<br />
“We were so excited and proud,” said '''Jennie Boyd''' of the day when the girls appeared wearing their keys. “Everything seemed different!” Even the people, the buildings, the classrooms seemed changed. We had started something all by ourselves!”<br />
Alpha struck the keynote and planned the theme … chose the badge and the name … it seems quite certain that no attempt was made toward anything ritualistic.” (Historian’s report, 1933)<br />
<br />
About 1873 the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church decided that no college under its jurisdiction should have Greek-letter fraternities.<br />
<br />
“Do you think this is going to finfish us?” wrote a fiery Alice Pillsbury. “Do you think we are going to subside? Not by any means! It only puts us to the trouble of putting in our members before they enter college.” Alice Pillsbury was initiated in September 1871; served as Secretary 1874-75; she graduated in 1873. She signed the charters of Delta, Epsilon, Eta, Iota and Theta. She had to copy over the constitution for the new chapters, and she exchanged letters with their corresponding secretaries (“… our correspondence became … quite personal with exchange of photographs …”). Her letters were full of facts and liveliness and in some cases those letters are all that remain to give life to a lost chapter. Her “ … subside? Not by any means!” kept Alpha alive, albeit in rascally fashion, for a few extra years.<br />
<br />
Until 1879 or 1880, when fraternities at Monmouth were ordered to disband entirely, pins were concealed, to be “flashed” for trusted friends.<br />
<br />
== 1880 - 1890 ==<br />
<br />
In 1882, '''Minnie Stewart Nelson Field (then Mrs. Nelson)''' was Alpha delegate to Convention and gave a talk. “It was the desire of the Fraternity and the intention of Mrs. Nelson to have prepared a complete history … but owing to the death of a sister Kappa who had in her possession the earlier chronicles, she was unable to procure the necessary information. (''The Golden Key'', Volume 1, Number 2)<br />
<br />
In 1884, a letter from the chapter asked release, and the request was granted. There seemed to be no charter to surrender, and Alpha died. A February 15, 1885, letter from Mrs. Nelson repeated the story of the secretary who took the record book to Kansas and died there. This must have been '''Mittie Merridith Love''' who died in Kansas in the spring of 1882 … and with her the Alpha minutes.<br />
<br />
Kappa Historian '''May Whiting Westermann''', Sigma-''Nebraksa'', searching for signs of Alpha members as real people made a pilgrimage to Monmouth, (The Key, April 1931) and, while reading names in the cemetery was greeted by a student who said, “My grandmother, '''Margaret Pogue''', was a member of Alpha Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma here.” Margaret Pogue Ford died November 29, 1915, in Monmouth. Her daughter, '''Mary Jane''', was married to Arthur G. Smith in 1907. Their daughter, '''Margaret Smith''', who spoke to Mrs. Westermann that day, became a member of Alpha Deuteron, and her daughter, '''Mary Hutchinson''', (later Mrs. Federick A. Tucker) is a member of Upsilon Chapter.<br />

“How rich we are in daughters!” (Jeanette Boyd)<br />
<br />
Excerpts from ''The Golden Key'', Volume III, Number 3, March 1886:<br />
<br />
“The earliest records show that the chief business of our Alpha was to send its characteristic idea into every suitable place, and to make use of every advantageous method that it could originate or find. When faculty opposition to fraternities in general crushed that chapter, Epsilon had grown up in the practice of the same faith. Under it and under Delta the work went on.” (Page 8)<br />
<br />
“Do you believe that KKG occupies all places that are suitable to her? Get a list of the colleges in the United States … study them point by point and see if there is not some Kappa material left, which is likely to come our way and should be provided for as a probable contingency.” (Page 10)<br />
<br />
“We are in the vanguard of a live idea—the new woman movement …<br />
<br />
“These Monmouth girls, our Founders, saw which way the second great procession of the age was tending, and they fell into an efficient place in line … when that to, the great labor question—shall have reached its destination and broken up, then we can quit hearing, telling and planning new things and give ourselves up to plant hedges, dig grottoes, and exchange lotus-eating reminiscences of the time when we were alive; in short, to be highly conservative.<br />
<br />
“When we try to think what would be suitable for (the conservative fraternities) to do, the only thing that ever occurs to us is: Buy an elegant monument and go and be a hic jacet …” (Page 11)<br />
--Minetta Taylor, Iota-DePauw, Editor<br />

== '''Alpha Deuteron Chapter''' ==<br />
<br />
Alpha Chapter returned as Alpha Deuteron 64 years after Kappa Kappa Gamma was founded at Monmouth College, and 50 years after Alpha officially ceased to exist. It was around 1880 that college authorities had prohibited Greek-letter fraternities, and the Convention of 1884 had granted the sub rosa chapter’s request for release from Fraternity obligations. It was in 1922 that the Monmouth College Senate voted to permit national fraternities to return.<br />
<br />
The movement to reestablish Alpha began in 1924 then '''Dorothy Buck Ettl''',''Colorado'', attended a Kappa national Convention in California. She was also a member of Kappa Alpha Sigma, Monmouth local. At the 1928 Convention the group was represented by Orma Innis Smith,Illinois, and four years later '''Myra Tubbs Rickets''',''Northwestern'', when favorable action on reinstatement was taken. That fall, however, Council vetoed the application.<br />
<br />
Recognition had been given to the Founders by the establishment of a Monmouth Memorial during the 1930 Convention. The interest from this $2,500 endowment fund was to be used to purchase books of quality in the field of the fine arts for the college library. The bookplate for the books was designed by '''Mary Albright (Giles),''' ''Ohio State''. The bookplates were presented to the college by members of Grand Council during a visit in the fall of 1932, during which they also inspected Kappa Alpha Sigma.<br />
<br />
In 1934, the local sorority was permitted to petition, an act approved by the chapters. Throughout the years, in their efforts to win back Alpha Chapter, the local group had the support of Mrs. Ricketts. Before she and her niece, Margaret Tubbs Youngren, a member of Kappa Alpha Sigma, left for Convention in 1934, they had gathered letters from many prominent Kappas, including '''Lou Henry Hoover''',''Stanford'', wife of the former president of the United States, and Josephine Edmonds Young, St. Lawrence. Others such as Albert N. Marquis, publisher of Who’s Who in America, and Francis Shepardson, a leader in Beta Theta Pi, had also sent endorsements. Several members of Kappa Alpha Sigma had close ties with the Founders.<br />
<br />
Alpha Chapter was re-established on October 13, 1934. The occasion was planned by the alumnae of Kappa Alpha Sigma, the Fraternity Council and the installing chapter, Epsilon. '''Joyce Snider (Heaton),''' ''Northwestern'', was co-organizer for the new chapter.<br />
<br />
Owl candlesticks, designed and made at Monmouth Pottery for many years, were a feature of the Installation. The molds were later destroyed in a fire at the pottery.<br />
<br />
All of the actives and 50 alumnae of Kappa Alpha Sigma were initiated as Kappas. A special pledging service was held on October 12 for freshman '''Frances Pattee (Putnam),''' granddaughter of Founder '''Anna Willits Pattee''', and she was initiated the following day with her grandmother’s gold key. In 1970, Mrs. Putnam presented this badge to the Fraternity.<br />
<br />
Among the many who sent messages or attended the reinstatement were '''Mabel and Georgie Pillsbury''', early Alphas. Their badges, and that of their sister, Alice Pillsbury Shelly (Reesor), were later left to the chapter. The President of the Monmouth Alumnae Association wears Georgie’s badge, and the other two are framed with the Founders’ pictures, which hang in the chapter room.<br />
<br />
Charlotte Barrell Ware wrote from Boston, “I am sending to you today the precious candlesticks … which I wish you to use at the Installation … tomorrow I shall send along the candles to be used from my wedding candles. I want Alpha to have all that we can express of gratitude in her return to head our Fraternity roll.”<br />
<br />
'''Mary Louise Bennett Boyd''', the one living original Founder, wrote from Florida, “ … A few of us who are left … are hoping … you will remember the humble little acorn from which the spreading oak has grown. … We shall be happy in again finding ourselves at home side by side with our ancient good comrade I.C. … (now known as) Pi Beta Phi.”<br />
<br />
Alice Pillsbury Shelley (Reesor) wrote, “ … No question of finances or fear of fatigue could prevent me from coming, but a recent recurrence of an old nervous trouble would make it unsafe … it is with added regret that as my birthday is October 14, it would be a grand way to celebrate.”<br />
<br />
'''Martha Louisa Stevenson Miller''', now also listed as a Founder, was present for all the Installation ceremonies.<br />
In 1935, the portrait of Tade Hartsuff Kuhns, Butler, painted in 1916 by Alpha’s Elizabeth Gowdy Baker, was sent to the Monmouth College Art Gallery. Tade Kuhns had presented this aquarelle to the Fraternity on its 50th anniversary. With the consent of Monmouth College an Alpha Deuteron, it is now in Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity Headquarters in Columbus, Ohio.<br />
<br />
In 1959, when Epsilon Province Convention was held in Monmouth, a silver baby cup was presented to the chapter by Alpha Chapter to Minnie Stewart Nelson Fields when her son was born, engraved with the Kappa insignia and the baby’s name. It was displayed in the chapter room in Marhall Hall. <br />
<br />
The Kappa room in Marshall Hall, where all sororities are located at Monmouth, was done in 1870 period style, Victorian red draperies, crystal chandeliers, and a Victorian sofa upholstered in blue damask. Many of the accessories were given by friends and members of the Alpha Chapter. Josephine Watt Graham, Monmouth, was the decorator. The outstanding feature in the room is the gold-framed picture of the Founders, tinted on ivory, with their names and the original Pillsbury keys. These pictures were reproduced in color on the cover of the 1970 Centennial issue of ''The Key''.<br />
<br />
During the years preceding Kappa’s Centennial celebration, Alpha Deuteron had pledged a sum of money to the Fraternity in honor of and in memory of Myra Tubbs Ricketts.<br />
<br />
In April 1970, Fraternity President '''Louise Little Barbeck''' presented, in the name of Kappa Kappa Gamma, an oil painting, “A Winding Road and Cypress Tree, San Vigilio,” by John Singer Sargent, to Monmouth College, as part of the Fraternity Centennial Celebration.<br />
<br />
Mabel Martin McCoy was honored by her chapter in 1971, when its senior class dedicated an award to her, in recognition of her service and devotion. The McCoy Cup is presented annually to an outstanding senior in Alpha Deuteron.<br />
<br />
== ''update from 1975 to present'' ... ==<br />
<br />
'''Fall 1970 issue of The Key reads''': "Reproductions of the Founders of Kappa Kappa Gamma were taken from small oil portraits hand painted on ivory. The original set is framed with the names of each founder and an early key belonging to Georgie Pillsbury who was initiated in Alpha Chapter in 1877. The framed portraits were a gift from the Monmouth alumnae to Alpha Chapter." <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Highlights of the 1980s:'''<br />
<br />
The 1987 pledge class created a cross-stitch pattern with Kappa symbols in all four corners. It was presented to the actives at the end of inspiration week. Traveling Consultant Lila Isbell visited the chapter. In 1987, there were 625 students on campus; 151 women in sororities and Alpha Deuteron had 49 actives, 1 pledge. The faculty and administration of Monmouth College as a whole were very supportive of Greek organizations. Chapter goal was “striving for excellence through individual responsibility and shared experiences.” The chapter worked hard to meet this goal.<br />
<br />
In 1989 a new rush party was developed, Sail Away with Kappa. One of the parties was a hayrack ride at one or the member’s uncle’s farm. The pledges made wooden Greek figures which were placed on the Stewart House lawn. Each pledge signed her name on the back. The figures were presented to the active chapter at the end of inspiration week. Traveling Consultant Sheri Gosliner visited the chapter. This year there were 635 students on campus, 145 women in sororities and 54 active Kappas plus one associate member. The faculty and staff continued to support the Greek system and were proud of their accomplishments.<br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:'''<br />
The chapter members went to Applegate Nursing Home in Monmouth to sing Christmas Carols. <br />
A dance to benefit UNICEF was held with Zeta Beta Tau. In 1989, the chapter held a really fun philanthropy. It organized a golf tournament at Gibson Woods Golf Course to raise money for the Warren Achievement Center. Even though it rained, everyone had a good time.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Highlights of the 1990s:'''<br />
The Minnie Stewart House was officially dedicated in May 1990. Barbara Blair Frazier, Monmouth, was hired as the Stewart House hostess in residence. One of the rush parties was a Roaring 20’s Party where the members wore fancy flapper dresses and gangster suits. Rush was very successful and the chapter pledged 31 women. The pledge project was a carved wooden owl with each pledge’s initials carved into it. Keys were hung at the owl’s feet, one key for each of their hearts. The owl was displayed in the chapter room.<br />
<br />
Traveling Consultant Christine Cutter and Alpha Deuteron’s own Helen Wagner Willey visited the chapter. Helen received the Fraternity’s Alumnae Achievement Award in 1990. In She starred in the first play at Monmouth College’s new theater, The Lion in Winter. She was well known for her role as Nancy Hughes on the long-running soap, As the World Turns, 1956-2010. In 1990 there were 632 students attending Monmouth College, 135 were sorority members and Alpha Deuteron had 45 actives. This year the chapter’s goal was “To improve respect for the Fraternity and the individual through Fraternity Education programs and the use of the new committee system.”<br />
New this year, Big/little Sister Week was creative and concluded with a big sis hunt that throughout the entire campus.<br />
<br />
In 1991 the chapter pledged 22 women. It was the only sorority to meet quota on Bid Day. The pledges gave the chapter scrapbook titled “Kappa is …..” It included 22 pages, one for each pledge which described what Kappa meant to each of them. Big/Little sister week was fun for the pledges and actives. It ended with each pledge unwinding a mass of string that connected her to her big sister.<br />
<br />
Kappa Krush was new this year. The seniors matched each of the actives with a guy of the senior’s choice and they met at the Valentine’s Day Dance.<br />
During senior week the classmen had a secret senior. At the end of the week a banquet was held where the seniors read their wills. This year there were 660 students attending Monmouth College, 147 of the women belonged to sororities and 57 of these women were Kappas. The chapter goal this year was “To improve sisterhood positively through trust, respect and confidentiality.” Each member worked to achieve the goal as did the chapter as a whole. Each week awards were given to those who showed improvement in meeting the goal. <br />
<br />
Alpha Deuteron began the 1994 academic year by pledging 30 women. This nearly doubled the size of the chapter. The pledges helped make Homecoming a success. Their float won first place and the chapter joined together to take second place in the Spirit Shout. The chapter excelled in scholarship this year. For the second semester in a row, it had the highest all-Greek and highest all-women’s average. All sorority GPA 3.056, all women GPA 2.907 and all Kappa GPA 3.16.<br />
There were 791 students attending the College, 159 of the women belonged to sororities and 68 of these women were Kappas. This year the chapter goal was “50 percent attendance at non mandatory events.” To achieve this goal, the chapter had a contest between pledges and each of the other classes. An award was given to the class with the best attendance. The chapter also accepted the Challenge to Excellence.<br />
<br />
Recruitment in 1995 was a huge success. The chapter filled quota and pledged 27 women. The pledges first helped the chapter to shine during Homecoming when they won the annual Spirit Shout and placed third with the Kappa Blue Hawaii float that boasted Elvis on the top. The pledge project was to paint a new Fraternity crest to be hung outside of The Stewart House.<br />
The chapter goal was to “make an effort to improve sisterhood by supporting members outside of meetings and Kappa events.” Each member was expected to attend two extra-curricular events per month in which Kappas were participating. A master calendar listing these events was created and members signed up in advance. The chapter continued to work to achieve the Fraternity’s Challenge to Excellence.<br />
<br />
The chapter maintained its high academic achievement. It had the highest all-Greek average while the pledges had the highest pledge class average as well. All sorority GPA 2.932; All Kappa GPA 3.115. There were 925 students on campus, 176 women in sororities and 72 members of Alpha Deuteron Chapter.<br />
<br />
Recruitment 1996 began this year on a high note. The chapter pledged 41 new members which doubled its membership to 80 women. The new members represented the chapter well during Homecoming by placing second in the annual Spirit Shout and third with their exciting float, Kappa Boulevard. The new members built a wooden bench which was placed outside the Stewart House.<br />
Again this year the chapter was recognized with the Fraternity’s Challenge to Excellence Award and received the Standards Award. The chapter continued to do well academically and maintained the highest sorority and all-Greek average. The chapter began holding study tables. The all sorority GPA was 2.995, all women GPA 3.008 and Kappa’s GPA 3.101. This year there were 993 students enrolled at Monmouth. 87 of these students were members of Alpha Deuteron Chapter. <br />
The chapter goal this year was to have 50 per cent attendance at non-mandatory events and 90 percent attendance at all mandatory events. This goal expanded the chapter goal from the previous year in an effort to improve sisterhood by supporting the sisters outside of chapter related events. The goal was for each member to attend two extra-curricular events a month in which Kappas were involved.<br />
<br />
During recruitment in 1997, the chapter pledged 21 new members. Their Homecoming float won first place and raised money for the American Heart Association. Scholarship remained a high priority for the chapter in 1997 and once again it had the highest GPA 3.082 on the campus, the all women’s GPA was 3.053 and the campus GPA was 2.945. The chapter received an award Give a Hoot for overall excellence at the 1997 Epsilon Province Meeting. The goal for the chapter was “to strive to improve unity and consideration of others through increased participation in all chapter and campus events.” <br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:'''<br />
During this decade the chapter continued to hold its annual golf tournaments at Gibson Woods Golf Course. Proceeds were given to the Warren Achievement Center. <br />
In 1990 the chapter members wrote letters of support to the troops in the Middle East. It was hoped these letters would boost their morale. In October 1991 the chapter went to a local elementary school to help raise money. The women worked at the school’s carnival.<br />
Additional philanthropies carried out by the chapter were Dollar Days, reading to local elementary school classes, decorating a local nursing home. <br />
<br />
In the fall of 1994, Kappas donated money and necessary personal items such as toothpaste and shampoo to a battered women’s shelter. It also participated in Book Week at the Warren County Library. The children there had their favorite book read to them by enthusiastic Kappas. The pledges organized a Breakfast with Santa for Monmouth children. During 1995 the chapter continued book week at the local library and they made a beautiful bulletin board which featured the children with their favorite books. <br />
<br />
The new member classes from each sorority faced off in a challenge to collect clothes for the Jamison Center. The pledges sponsored a Christmas Party at the Pinewood Nursing Home and entertained the residents with Christmas Carols. In 1996 the chapter organized the Pizza Roll which brought 50 underprivileged children to the local roller rink. After skating, the children were served pizza. <br />
<br />
In 1995, it continued the annual golf tournament with the proceeds going to the Warren Avenue Center, the Kappa Foundation and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The members continued with book week and organized Jail N’ Bail which benefited the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and participated in Rose McGill’s Holiday Sharing program. This year’s new member class enjoyed their Christmas party which was held at the Pinewood Nursing Home. <br />
<br />
1997 began with numerous philanthropic events which demonstrated the strength and dedication of the chapter. The second annual pizza roll with Sigma Phi Epsilon brought smiles to the faces of 50 children from the community. The event included two hours of roller skating followed by pizza.<br />
The chapter held a Teetertotterathon in the spring and made contributions to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Kappa Foundation from the funds raised. Alpha also sponsored a Rose McGill Kappa, a blood drive and another successful Jail N’ Bail from which the proceeds were donated to Breast Cancer Research and served as Bell Ringers for the Heart Association during Christmas time. <br />
<br />
'''A New Millennium''' '''-- Highlights of 2000-2010:'''<br />
Alpha was ranked first scholastically on campus and with a 3.25 average and was above the all-sorority GPA. In 2005, the chapter had a very successful recruitment and pledged 20 wonderful women. Each of them proved to be an asset to the chapter and many were recently elected to offices as sophomores. <br />
<br />
Once again the chapter had the highest GPA on campus among both Greeks and non-Greeks. It received an award for outstanding chapter operations at our Greek Week Banquet.<br />
One thing the chapter wanted to do was plan more exciting social events and to accomplish this our social chairman planned new exchanges and events. One of these exchanges was a decadence night at the Monmouth Soda Works with another sorority, Alpha Xi Delta. There are also many new social events and exchanges planned for the coming year. This year has been amazing and we hope that next year will be even better. <br />
<br />
'''Philanthropy:'''<br />
Alpha chapter participated in many successful philanthropies: took part in a mentoring program in one of the local schools. the Relay For Life and many of our members held positions as committee heads and members. the New Members planned a philanthropy called Rent a Kappa which raised $500.<br />
<br />
Campus 2005: 1,200 students, All student GPA 2.90, All Greek GPA 3.02<br />
Chapter 2005: 60 members, GPA 3.2<br />
<br />
The Monmouth College campus is located one block from The Stewart House, former home of Minnie Stewart, one of the Fraternity Founders. It is a small private Liberal Arts college. In 2006, there were 63 members in the chapter and 19 New Members. The chapter’s meetings are held in Marshall Hall which is the oldest building on campus.<br />
<br />
The 2006 archives display was shown in the chapter room and included the following items: Outstanding Achievement In Unity, Loyalty, and Gracious Living, Greek Week 2005, photo album, the Founder's pictures, old board with keys, 2003-2004 Challenge for Excellence, Kappa books, stick candle holder, pledge class 2002 gift, keys and lock in picture frame, class of 2004 gift, owl house, 1870-1913 Kappa Kappa Gamma directory, 3 of the Founder's badges, pledge pin from 1916, 1998-2002 Scholarship Award, pitcher, Outstanding Achievement 2000, and "The Key.”<br />
This was a great year for the Alpha Chapter, not only did the chapter have an amazing recruitment, but it gained 19 wonderful new members. Kappa formal was held in the spring of 2006 and was a great success. In the fall of 2006, Kappa was awarded the Homecoming Spirit Award for having the most spirit on campus. At Convention, Kappa was received two awards. Through the year of 2006 Kappa Kappa Gamma has had great relations with the Greek Life on campus. <br />
<br />
Alpha Deuteron Chapter had an excellent 2010. In the spring the chapter received word from the College that Kappa would finally have a home for the sisters to live and gather. <br />
The chapter had excellent fall recruitment where we gained 15 wonderful new members. During homecoming week, Kappa was awarded third place in the homecoming parade and float competition. Also, the chapter participated for the first time in a community event known as, The Great Cardboard Boat Regatta. It gallantly came away with the Titanic award for most dramatic sinking. <br />
Once again, the chapter was recognized for the highest GPA on campus including the highest New Member GPA yet. The chapter had a successful philanthropic endeavor where the sisters bonded together. They created friendship bracelets for children suffering from severe illnesses in the OSF hospital in Peoria. They were given as a Christmas donation. <br />
<br />
Monmouth College enacted the first steps toward building houses for all Greek Life members. The three sororities present on campus received individual houses for the first time in the fall of 2010. Also, the school received a Jumbotron, as a gracious donation from an alum, for the football field.<br />
<br />
A lovely home was graciously given to Kappa Kappa Gamma by Monmouth College in the fall of 2010. It has been a wonderful opportunity for the chapter to create a true home for the actives as well as the alumnae. <br />
<br />
The opportunity for the members to now come together in one area and hold various sisterhoods, activities and chapter meetings in the house has been a wonderful bonding experience. A higher form of chapter unity is consistently a sought after goal. Through holding monthly key sisterhoods and having a home to enjoy our sisters in has made such the goal more feasible. Likewise, the chapter must better learn how to utilize Kappa resources, such as the website. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Honoring Kappa’s Origins''' <br />
<br />
The earliest days of Kappa were memorialized at Monmouth College in 2010 with the dedication of a marker near the site of the rustic wooden bridge where a few young women spoke of forming a secret society of their own. Another marker was placed at the home of Kappa Founder Martha Louisa “Lou” Stevenson –the site of Kappa’s first business meeting, when the golden key was chosen as the official badge. Both markers were funded by a grant from the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation’s Museums Committee.<br />
<br />
Fraternity President Denise Rugani, UC Davis, and Alpha Chapter President Lindsay Trafton, Monmouth, unveiled the historic marker during a weekend celebration coinciding with the date of the college’s founding in 1853. Denise said, “For me to be part of the dedication of the markers at Monmouth College was truly one of the most special moments of my time as Fraternity President. These markers are a reminder to all of the power of the women’s movement in America. They keep the message of our Founders alive. From a time when few women were admitted to college, these women not only attended college but also had the dream of creating a women’s organization equal to that of the men’s fraternal organizations. Today it is our moral imperative to keep their vision alive and pass it on to future generations.”<br />
<br />
It was on a pedestrian trestle bridge over a stream that ran though the Monmouth College campus where Kappa Founders met to pursue their dream of a secret Greek society similar to those of the male students. The marker is located at the approximate midpoint of the block-long bridge, which stood until the early 20th century when the stream was diverted underground. <br />
<br />
Among Fraternity officers present were Kay Smith Larson, Washington, Fraternity Historian and former Fraternity President. Kay recalled how the Monmouth College policy of admitting women on an equal footing with men since its earliest days helped lay the groundwork for the founding of the first national secret collegiate society for women, Pi Beta Phi, at Monmouth in 1867, followed by Kappa just three years later.<br />
<br />
Monmouth College Trustees and Alpha Chapter alumnae Gail Simpson Owen and Barbara Watt Johnson attended the dedication and Gail reflected on the meaning of the bridge. She said, “The metaphor of a bridge is fitting as we build bridges to take us from one place to another; from the known to the unknown, an arduous journey made easier with a bridge, a connection. For me, the Kappa Bridge spanned the distance from my family 5,000 miles away to my new sisters and friends. I recognize that it is our turn to build the next bridge for those who come after us.”<br />

[[Media:Instructions for Adding Chapter History Information]]<br />
<br />
<br />
The chapter Registrar is charged with the responsibility of keeping her chapter’s history up to date, but any member or adviser of that chapter is encouraged to fill in any informational gaps that may appear.<br />
<br />
<br />
Prior to the end of each school year, the Registrar of each chapter should add historical highlights of that year to her chapter’s history page. <br />
<br />
<br />
Examples include: <br />
Convention or Province Meeting awards or hosting<br />
Campus or community awards or achievement<br />
Philanthropic and community service projects<br />
Chapter involvement or reaction to political events, natural disaster or other newsworthy occurrences<br />
Special visits from Fraternity officers<br />
Goals the chapter accomplished or challenges that were overcome<br />
Members who have achieved notoriety in their field<br />
Any other noteworthy events or accomplishments the chapter’s historical record should contain<br />
<br />
<br />
