At the 1930 General Convention funding, for a full-time Traveling Secretary was approved. Helen Snyder (Andres, Steiner), a Beta Pi who had been a Graduate Counselor in 1929, received the first appointment. During her three years as Field Secretary, she helped Clara O. Pierce, Ohio State, write the first Pledge Handbook and Instructions for Pledge Training. After serving as Director of Standards, Mrs. Andres became Grand President of the Fraternity for 1935-1936. She continued to serve the Fraternity as Panhellenic Delegate, Director of Chapters and chairman of many committees the rest of her life.
