[[File:Katharine_Lucinda_Sharp.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Katharine Lucinda Sharp]] '''Katharine (Kate) Lucinda Sharp, Upsilon Chapter, Northwestern''' (1865-1914)
The election of Katharine (Kate) Lucinda Sharp as Kappa’s next Grand President reflected the power manifested by the Chicago alumna group (Beta Theta) founded during Emily Burnham’s tenure. Kate was not a member of Beta Theta, but that group’s members thought it was time for the Fraternity to return the presidency to someone farther west and to acknowledge the growing importance of its alumnae.
