Changes

The letters of Miss Pillsbury and the name and location in the early list are the facts that have been allowed to stand against the memory of many that such a chapter never existed. There is not even any record that it went out of existence, for although Ida Moudy Estes, Depauw, claimed that Zeta was “laid down” at the 1878 Convention, the fact is not in the minutes. The important facts area are that the box with the charter was sent, that the contents were noted and enjoyed. In these facts of giving and receiving, Fraternity existed between the givers and the receivers and in the giving and receiving there existed enjoyment, affection, thoughtfulness and action. That was all there was to Zeta, an early failure, but in its limited, mysterious way, a complete success!
