[[File:Lydia_Warner.jpg|200px|thumb|left|(Lydia) Emlie Warner Mallory, President 1904-1906]] '''(Lydia) Elmie Warner Mallory, Lambda Chapter, Akron'''(1873-1942)
The tall, beautiful, energetic and compassionate (Lydia) Elmie Warner Mallory became President after May Westermann’s first term, 1904-1906. She tried to gauge university sentiment toward fraternities by carrying out extensive correspondence with deans of women and college presidents. Opinions of Kappa ran the gamut, with one complaining about members “strolling out-of-doors with men late on summer evenings.”
Before becoming President, Elmie was a Province Convention delegate (1895), national delegate (1896), and Grand Registrar (1900-1904). After her term as Grand President, she became alumnae officer from 1906-1908, chairing a committee to organize alumna efforts (forerunner to the Director of Alumnae). Elmie Mallory – “a joy to behold and a joy to know – ‘a kindly, gentle, generous personality…’”
