The election of Katharine (Kate) Lucinda Sharp as Kappa’s next Grand President reflected the power manifested by the Chicago alumna group (Beta Theta) founded during Emily Burnham’s tenure. Kate was not a member of Beta Theta, but that group’s members thought it was time for the Fraternity to return the presidency to someone farther west and to acknowledge the growing importance of its alumnae. | The election of Katharine (Kate) Lucinda Sharp as Kappa’s next Grand President reflected the power manifested by the Chicago alumna group (Beta Theta) founded during Emily Burnham’s tenure.

As the first charter member of Upsilon to be graduated, Kate had received from her chapter a diamond badge. This key, to which a diamond circlet later had been added, was owned by Upsilon after Kate’s death until the 1930 Convention, when it was presented to the Fraternity to become the official badge of the President. It was used as such until 2000 and then retired to be displayed at Fraternity Headquarters. | As the first charter member of Upsilon to be graduated, Kate had received from her chapter a diamond badge.
