Beta Upsilon Chapter was installed on December 22, 1906, by Grand President Mary Griffith (Canby), Beta Alpha—PennsylvaniaPennsylvania, at the residence of a local Kappa, who felt privileged to open her new home to her new Kappa sisters.

Two new members were promptly initiated.
Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity opened its house for the initiation banquet and a “house party,” as the 13 visiting Kappas stayed there. The large living hall of the Phi Psi house presented a beautiful picture. Logs gave forth a cheery blaze in the great brick fireplace wreathed in holly, and Christmas greens hung everywhere. Red candles in crystal candlesticks accented the long banquet table, and bunches of dark red carnations, the flower of the Kappa Deltas, marked each place.
