''Note: Minnie maintained that the first KKG Convention was held in Monmouth in 1871, an assertion disputed by two other Founders but supported by Ida Woodburn McMillan, charter member of Delta, Indiana, 1872, and organizer in 1900 in Monmouth of the local Kappa Alpha Sigma, which in 1934 became Alpha Deuteron Chapter.''
'''The Stewart House:''' [http://wiki.kappakappagamma.org/pages/File:Ph-10021.jpg The Stewart House in Monmouth, Ill.] was purchased in 1989 from the estate of Mary Huff, a member of Pi Beta Phi and great-niece of Minnie Stewart, by Kappas throughout the Fraternity. As the Fraternity Founders had been leaders, alumnae of Alpha Deuteron Chapter took the lead in raising enough money to purchase the house, established The Stewart House Foundation, applied for and received approval, which placed the property on the National Historic Register. In 2000, The Stewart House Foundation merged with the Kappa Kappa Gamma Foundation.
