Nu Chapter, Franklin College Founded January 31, 1879; Closed October 30, 1884 Nu charter members: Jessie Evelyn Grubb, Isabel Douglas Hackett, Ida Hall, Alice Cinna Moore, Anna Pfendler, Marion Maud Tracey (from The History of Kappa Kappa Gamma 1870-1976) If Nu Chapter had been allowed to live beyond her five years, the whole philanthropic history of Kappa might have been changed, for the Nu member who promised to be the liveliest, Emma Harper Turner, begged honorable dismission in 1888, became a member of Pi Beta Phi, and the originator of that fraternity's famous settlement work among the southern mountaineers. She became grand president of Pi Beta Phi in April, 1890. It's a fact that she fought hard for Nu. The unpleasantness began before the 1884 Convention when the charter was revoked, in what seems to have been a class of personalities, misunderstandings, some laxity, and a switch in Fraternity policy. "It would be impossible to record the details," the 1870-1930 History of Kappa Kappa Gamma relates, "without including unhappy personalities which should be forgotten and buried rather than perpetuated in a published history." Nu Chapter was solicited by [Iota] member |
