LOUISE FITCH, e Editor Trident Published by THE MAIL PRINTING COMPANY Galesburg, Illinois 1907 IMP J Copyright 1907 By R. Louise Fitch Galva, Illinois INTRODUCTORY This outline of the growth and achievements of Delta Delta Delta has been collected and compiled from the historical matter written and collected by the first Grand Historian of the frater- nity, Sara Ida Shaw Martin (1897-1900), the reports transmitted by Grand Historian, Lela M. Klampe (1900-1902), the fifteen volumes of the Trident, the various directories, chapter letters and Convention Reports issued, the Inter-Sorority Conference Reports and special chapter reports for 1903-4, 1904-5 and 1905-6, received in answer to specific sets of questions issued by the present historian. Many personal interviews with the founders and early members of Alpha and the charter members of the various other chapters and with grand council members "have been helpful in information and suggestions. The author has not labored under the mpression that this is a contribution to literature. The intention has been to compile a record and a reference book. No space has been taken for words of self-praise or gratula- tion for it has been thought that the achievements of Tri Delta will speak for themselves to all who may care to read. While a task of many days, interrupted sometimes for months by family cares, yet the compilation of this history has nevertheless been a source of pleasure to one who has worked in the ranks of the fraternity since the third year of its history. All members and officers called upon for assistance have loyally responded and to each and all of them is extended most sincere gratitude. From the founders and earliest grand officers to the present council, there has not been one who has not responded cheerfully to frequent and troublesome questioning. To the Editing Committee, R. Louise Fitch, Editor of the Trident and Amy Olgen Parmelee, Grand President, the present Historian owes a double debt, first of all for constant inspiration and eager interest and second for entire readiness to render all manner of aid and services outside of the technical duties de- (S) M152971 6 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. volving upon them. The interest and counsel of her husband, Frank E. Priddy, a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, have also been drawn upon freely and often. Kindly indulgence is asked for the multitude of errors that must be made by one who attempts to compile nearly twenty years of history from such scattered records as were to be com- manded. More time and more labor could have brought this to greater perfection but as time passes history is making and al- ready enough of labor upon it has been added to a busy life to equal the working hours of a year. May these humble efforts open the way for some future historian to perfect the task and also to inspire in all Tri Deltas who read an abiding resolution to make a history worthy of pres- ervation.

There was tumult in the ocean On a time some years ago, As the sea-god's heralds hastened On their errands to and fro; For the mighty god Poseidon Had sent forth a stern decree That his council should be gathered In his palace 'neath the sea. For his messenger had brought him From the blooming lands above, On Thanksgiving Eve a letter Full of greetings and of love, Which read somewhat as here follows "Dear Poseidon : We have heard Of your wisdom, of your greatness, Of your kindness. In a word, We would fain become your children, We would fain your subjects be. If you only would instruct us In that old Greek mystery Which has come adown the ages, From a time when men were wise. When they knew the heart of nature, Held communion with skies, And divined the hidden meaning Of each star whose constant light Was a beacon to the sailor As he journeyed in the night. We are only college maidens But we all desire to know Of these wonders. So expect us In your palace there below. Nine o'clock's the time for calling In this nation of the free, So expect us at the bell stroke. Yours, most truly, Anne A. B." Well, there was a grand reception, And a baqnuet and a — well, You will never be the wiser, For we promised not to tell. Only this, perhaps I'll mention, That the conclave of the sage Then unanimously voted : "Since the maidens were of age, (15) 16 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. Knew exactly what they wanted, Spoke the Greek with fluent grace, It were better, then, to put them With the wonders face to face, Lest, amid the strides of progress, An electric shock might come And destroy the sacred record, Not slowly one by one, But without a note of warning, As had happened once before, When a cablegram sent eastward Threw them senseless on the floor." And the great sea-dog assented : By his hand he led them forth To his temple great, majestic, On an island toward the north ; Here he showed them in the heavens Stars— the Alpha, Theta, Phi, And he told them of their power Over human destiny. And he gave them to their keeping, "Be ye wise," he said, "and know With these helpers ye shall conquer In your struggles here below. Take this Crescent, it shall guide you, And this Trident, it has power, — It will call me to your succor When the stormy clouds do lower; It shall still the troubled waters, All the clouds shall pass away, While the Stars and Crescent ever Shall come forth to show the way." Then he ceased; for o'er the waters Came his Tritons, bold and free, Bearing in their midst a casket Fraught with wondrous mystery. This he ope'd, and on a sudden All the place was filled with light, And the great Tritonic chorus Raised their voices in the night, Till the waves of ocean thundered 'Mid the wondrous melody. "Once again," they sang exultant, "Once again, ye Deltas three, Have you come to bless the nations, Will you brighten every heart, From the one who bears your symbol, Joy shall nevermore depart." Then the maidens thanked Poseidon For the wondrous mystery, He entrusted to their keeping, In his temple by the sea, And in token of his kindness They now wear the Deltas three, With the Crescent and the Trident, And the Alpha Theta Phi.

FOUNDING OF DELTA DELTA DELTA FOREWORD You are not asked, gentle reader, with noiseless tread and averted gaze, to wend an enquiring journey back into the mys- tic shadows, where the receding views of a pre-historic night re- veal but the border lines of myths and legends. Neither a knowl- edge of the Dyonisian Fraternity, discovered by the Greek when he journeyed from Attica to Asia Minor, nor of the Masonic broth- erhood, either building from the rifted rock a Solomon's Temple or from this ancient story a powerful modern order, are neces- sary to an understanding of the rise of the American College fra- ternity system. Neither is it necessary to go to the College of William & Mary, in Independence year, with its Phi Beta Kappa (Dec. 5, 1776), whose key is now but an honorary badge; nor again to those who fifty years later at old Union copied that society (Kappa Alpha, 1825— Sigmi Phi, 1827, Delta Phi, 1827) : nor on the other hand, must it be attempted as is customary, to seek out from the existing list of thirty odd more or less successful men's societies some particular one in order to explain the origin and existence of Greek letter societies among American college women. The inherent desire of the entire race for congenial society, the loyalty typical of woman, and the innate love of culture and refinement characteristic of the student mind, male or female, offer in themselves sufficient explanation of the fact that, almost co-eval with the presence of woman in the colleges and univer- sities, these societies began to exist. Neither Eleusinian Rites, nor Rosicrucian Mysteries, nor the legends of Greek, Latin, Celt or Teuton were necessary for their inspiration and propagation. Their causes, their aims, and their results are for progress in social, material, intellectual and spiritual ways. It has made little difference whether the Kite or (17) 18 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. the Key, the Arrow or the Anchor, or one of a half dozen or more other symbols have flashed a rival light to the brilliancy of the Stars and Crescent ; each band has met its failures and its suc- cesses as pilgrims to a common goal, a land of better conditions and better living for all. Environment. In the development of character, companions and environ ment are of prime importance and to well understand the origin and growth of Delta Delta Delta, the locating of her predecessors and rivals is not a superfluous task. Kappa Alpha Theta was founded at De Pauw University, Greencastle, Ind., Jan. 27, 1870 ; Kappa Kappa Gamma at Monmouth College, Monmouth, 111., Oct. 13, 1870 ; Alpha Phi, at Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y., Oct. 20, 1872 ; Delta Gamma at Louis School, Oxford, Miss., Jan. 2, 1874 ; Gamma Phi Beta at Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 11, 1874. All of these were preceded by the I. C. Sorosis founded April 28, 1867, at Monmouth College, Mon- mouth, 111., which added "Pi Beta Phi" to its name in 1883, and dropped "I. C." in 1888, and with that change remodeled its customs to conform with those of other Greek Letter societies. In the fall of 1888, the active chapter roll of these societies stood as follows: K A 15, K K r 21, A T 11, A $ 4,r $ B 5 and I. C. Sorosis or n B <£ 13. Naturally as all of these societies had originated west of New England, some of them, as development came, began to turn covetous eyes toward those seats of learning located in that territory of acknowledged literary supremacy. Boston Univer- sity and Wellesley, the first, a champion of co-education, the sec- ond, a school for women alone, were classed by the general pub- lic as being as significant for women as Harvard for men. The co-educational school of first rank being the desirable field for the women's fraternities, the different societies had begun to here install their chapters. Kappa Kappa Gamma had entered Boston University in 1882, Alpha Phi in 1883 and Gamma Phi Beta in 1887. Although there was a good deal of anti-fraternity sentiment in college circles, even prominent people speaking against such organizations in chapel, these new chapters were soon prosperous and powerful and immediately took an import- SUGGESTION — REALIZATION. 19 ant position in the work of their own national organizations. The chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma, in particular, assumed and creditably filled a very authoritative position in the general soror- ity policy during the decade beginning with 1885. Thus, gradually, any spirit of opposition to the new order of affairs disappeared as the benefits of the system became obvious, and so in a field well prepared from without and within the seed was sown that blossomed ultimately into the suggestion for the founding of a new fraternity for women. Suggestion. Among the papers in the archives is a manuscript history of the organization of the first nineteen chapters of Delta Delta Delta, written by the first Grand Historian, one competent to tell of the origin of its Alpha Chapter. In this manuscript of Sarah Ida Shaw Martin, Alpha '89, are the following paragraphs : There were at Boston University in the fall of 1888, four Seniors, who for various reasons were not as yet allied with the three Greek Let- ter societies then at the college. These girls were among the best stu- dents, in the class of 1889. During the usual commotion attendant upon the rushing that fall, one of these four girls, disliking the general at- mosphere, said to her friend in deprecating the evident lack of good feel- ing, 'Let us found a society that shall be kind alike to all and think more of the girl's inner self and character than of her personal appear- ance.' The other acquiesced with much delight and so it came to pass that plans were laid that very day as the two friends sat in a quiet nook among the terra cotta cushions of the girls' study, known as "The Par- thenon.' These two friends and seniors were Sarah Ida Shaw and Eleanor Dorcas Pond, originators of the idea of founding Delta Delta Delta. From them emanated the rituals, constitutions and emblems, as hereafter related and they were the moving spirits in the organization of Alpha Chapter. Realization. Later in the manuscript of the first historian, is found : "I am afraid those two young hearts would have been very much discouraged had they realized at that time what an herculean task it was to start a national fraternity, but fortunately for their peace of mind, and for the future happiness of the hundreds who have already learned to love the name of Delta Delta Delta, the two enthusiastic friends were unaware of the fact that there was something stupendous about the task they had set hands, heads and hearts to accomplish. Thev were working for a principle, and it never occurred to them that there could be such a 20 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. thine as failure. Earnestness of purpose, energy and enthusiasm had brought them both success in college, and why should not these same qualities bring assurance of good fortune to the new venture ? At all events they had faith in the power of these forces, and with light hearts turned their thoughts to the founding of a new fraternity. The selection of a name was perhaps a joint matter, the sug- gestion of the triple letter coming from Miss Pond, while the selection of the letter itself can perhaps best be attributed to Miss Shaw, who was the hard worker on Greek mottoes, pass words and emblems. In regard to these things, Dr. Mann (Eleanor Dorcas Pond) said, at Syracuse, 1906 : "Mrs. Martin (Sarah Ida Shaw) had a genius for those things. She was a fine Greek scholar, loved to delve in Egyptian lore and Hindoo mysticism and had a more than ordinary liking for as- tronomy. Consequently when it came to ritual, badges, emblems and constitutions, she worked out many plans alone, then we met, went over her labors together and together decided what should be chosen for Tri Delta." Mrs. Martin (Sarah Ida Shaw) writes much the same thing, saying : "I worked out scores of plans and appropriate possibilities in regard to mottoes, rituals and emblems but in each instance Miss Pond cast a deciding vote, I relying on her good taste and practical ability. The pin, in particular, one of my several designs, was her prtefertence. My ritual services, constitutions, etc., first evolved were much more elaborate than those actually used, considerable cutting being done to suit the taste of both Miss Pond and others of the early members." Returning to the aforementioned manuscript in regard to organization : "At last, all was finished on Tuesday, the third day of the week. Nov. 28, 1888, but there was one more meeting of the two friends on the following afternoon before they separated for the Thanksgiving recess, at the top of the college building, in what was then the Philological Li- brary. It was there that the two girls embraced each other and said 'Tri-Delta is founded.' Hence it became customary to speak of Thanks- giving eve as the fraternity's birthday, because it was on that day that these two young people realized that all was in readiness. It was par- ticularly appropriate also that this fraternity, the first born on New England soil to be recognized as a national, should be connected at its founding with a typically New England feast. It is not strange that the hearts of these sponsors were full of emotion as together they went out of the college building, for each felt there were added reasons why her Thanksgiving should be a very happy one. When they came to the part- ing of the ways at the historic Boston Common, Miss Pond said, 'We can make the girls we initiate promise secrecy, but what shall hold us two?' So there in the shadow of the old Park Street Church with a bright new moon overhead and three brilliant stars near by, while count- less fainter ones gave promise of the mighty hosts that would one day be enrolled upon the fraternity's firmament, the two faithful friends clasped hands and said 'In the presence of these myriads of witnesses, I REALIZATION. 21 swear eternal loyalty and fealty to Delta Delta Delta.' How well they have kept their vow there are many to testify, but how unstintingly they gave of their money, time and strength both before that night and since, will never be known. Still the work was not yet done, for after vacation came the task of gaining over other girls to the cause. Florence Stewart, of '89, soon consented, since her friendship for Miss Pond dated back to the time when both were classmates in the same high school. Isabelle Breed, how- ever, was not so easily secured, because from her observation up to this time she felt that fraternities were fundamentally wrong. It was only after the girls had told her enough to convince her of the lofty and noble Christian principles and aims of the society that she consented to join. Three girls were then secured from the junior class, one of them for so long the Trident editor, Emily F. Allen. Another was Mrs. Lotta A. W. Stevens, for years a teacher in the Coldwater (Mich.) High School, at that time doing special work at the University. The third junior pledge was Hattie Clinton MacNeil, who later became a President of Alpha Chapter ('89-'90). A sophomore, Marion Katherine Norris, grand-daughter of Mrs. Mary A. Livermore (a woman of national re- nown and an honorary member of Kappa Kappa Gamma), added some- thing of distinction. Four other sophomores were soon pledged, Mattie Ora Carter, Margaret Evelyn Emerson, Bertha Brackett and Alice Elizabeth Rich. Six others, Myrtle May Burdett, Hannah Jo- sephine Centre, Delia Alice Badger, Emily Stickney Clough, Grace Butler Gallison and Charlotte Elizabeth Joslin, followed, but since there was only a short time between the Thanksgiving recess and the Christmas holidays, the initiation was postponed until the new year. Soon after its advent came the longed-for pins. Isabelle Breed and Florence Stewart were hastily initiated in Prof. Bowne's lecture room, and the four seniors at- tended the next recitation with something shining on their breasts, with the result that there was much craning of necks and twisting of bodies to get a glimpse of the new society's pin. The next hour, the three juniors were hurried through in Prof. Buck's Greek room, and these seven withdrew to the home of Emily F. Allen, on Joy street, to make preparations for the more elaborate initiation of the other eleven. This was on Friday, January 15th, 1889, a memorable day in the annals of the fraternity, for on that day the first chapter was organized and the fraternity's life as an organization was begun. The following Monday, eighteen pins flashed light into the eyes of the other society people who were surprised at the size of the organiza- tion, for if they anticipated anything, they had expected only a weakling organization that would go under as soon as the seniors graduated. It was really a dangerous plan to try to assimilate so many individualities in so short a time, but for some inexplicable reason things ran very smoothly, and the meetings were a great success." Thus was the enterprise of a new fraternity for women to be known as Delta Delta Delta originated and formulated at Boston University, Thanksgiving Eve, 1888, by Sarah Ida Shaw and Eleanor Dorcas Pond, and with the assistance of their friends and classmates, Florence Stewart and Isabelle Breed, the com- plete Alpha Chapter of eighteen members was assembled, initiated and organized on January 15th, 1889. THE FOUNDERS AND THEIR AIM. First Members of Alpha Chapter As the child inherits the characteristics and tendencies of the parents, so must the trend of a society be influenced by the traits of its founders. A long dissertation on the personal characteris- tics of the organizers of Delta Delta Delta is not within the scope of the present volume. It has been attempted under Biographical Notes to give in a condensed form the chief events of their lives and it is the desire here to bring out merely those significant points that are necessary for a correct interpretation of the his- tory and growth hereafter recorded and to emphasize enough of the self-sacrifice, the labor and the enthusiasm of those early days to ensure from a rapidly growing society, lasting apprecia- tion of and honor for the builders to whose creation many have fallen heir. As originators of the idea of founding a new fraternity for women, Delta Delta Delta, the names of those two seniors who consulted together in "The Parthenon" of Boston University must of course come first, Sarah Ida Shaw and Eleanor Dorcas Pond. These two girls had not formed their friendship early in their col- lege course. Miss Shaw was a resident of Roxbury, Mass., was a hard student and devoted her spare time to the home circle and home society until her junior y^ar.*.',Miss Mann boarded in Bos- ton in order to attend the University and both girls having more time under elective work toward the last of their course naturally sought congenial society. The tendency of Miss Shaw to work -out elaborate details and to study and investigate the unusual subjects found its complement in the practical, clear insight and cheery personality of her friend. Thus the two were well fitted to originate and develop the movement together. To Sarah Ida Shaw Martin must be given the credit of perse- vering and untiring labor for the good of the society through all the years which have succeeded. Her interest has been such that no labor has been deemed too great. The entire list of early -chapters find her hand writing throughout their correspondence (22) FOUNDERS AND THEIR AIMS. 23- files and as student, teacher or home maker her ever present in- terest has been Tri Delta. Dr. Mann (Miss Pond), while deprecating having to give the necessary data for the biographical notes, as sounding too much of the "ego," with her usual modesty, writes : "Mrs. Martin (Miss Shaw) has of course done much more for the fraternity since B. U. days than I, for I have been busy in another field, but I always have the Delta girls with me in heart, wherever I am." Notwithstanding her busy life, outlined elsewhere, Dr. Mann, after the college days of loyal endeavor were over, found time to organize the Chicago Alliance (1896), was watching the New York field while there for a propitious inauguration of an other and is and has always been ready with interest and love to labor whenever opportunity offered. Mrs. Martin (Miss Shaw), although for years a very suc- cessful teacher, found time to give strict attention to the develop- ment of Tri Delta in each slightest detail asked of her. The Gamma delegate to the Woman's Pan-Hellenic ('89) traveled to Meriden, Conn, (where Mrs. Martin was teaching), anxious, having attended the Alpha Chapter Conference on Trident and other matters, to talk over everything with her, as Grand Presi- dent. She found her a scholarly woman, bright, full-hearted, eager for work. Although denied the privilege of attending the first two conventions, Mrs. Martin was present in 1897 and 1900, holding grand offices at those times. To-day she is exceptionally interested in fraternity problems and in educational subjects in general. Almost her whole time for the last few years has been given to the compiling of "The Sorority Hand-Book," which has just been published. Perhaps the distinguishing mark of her mentality might be said to be an unusual talent for detail and an appreciation of symbolism, color and form. Her creed has been that Tri Delta should be one of the strongest, if not the strongest, influence for good in a college girl's life. Dr. Mann has led an active, busy life. Her profession and the profession of her husband have caused many changes of resi- dence, but these changes in themselves have been an education as their homes have been made in the larger cities and here her work has been found. Although a founder of Tri Delta, she attended her first convention at Syracuse, N. Y., the Seventh National, 1906. There facing the encircling square of the banquet tables, she looked into one hundred and seventy-five faces, representa- 24 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. tives of a society fifteen hundred strong, and upon request re- peated something of the story of the founding of Delta Delta Delta, and perhaps for the first time fully realized how great a momentum the movement had gained to which eighteen years be- fore, in her girlhood days at Boston University, she had been a partner in giving it first impetus. Bright, unaffected, capable, successful, she was a present witness to each delegate of how good a thing it has been for Delta Delta Delta that from the first to the last, from the women on whose golden locks the finger of time has begun its tracery of silver to the newest pledge, all have remaired to watch and to work. To the worth and loyalty of the two other senior girls, Florence Stuart and Isabelle Breed, first allies in organizing the new society, the success of the enterprise testified. Especially noteworthy was the work of Emily F. Allen, one of the junior trio next chosen. Her nine years of service as Editor-in-Chief of the Trident were productive of more than the successful establishment of the magazine. Among her early editorials is found ever that careful conservatism which is so val- uable when working hand in hand with progressive ideas. She strongly advocated always, sound intensive development, strong alumnae obligations and among her earliest editorials, she ad- vocated regular examinations, certificates of membership and uni- fied report systems, all of which have since been adopted. Associated with Miss Shaw in the active work of Chapter ex- tension was Charlotte E. Joslin, Alpha, A. B. '92, A. M. '96, a girl of energy, enthusiasm and intense loyalty. As one of the early Grand Secretaries, much of the important work of the formative period fell upon her and no task that she could find to do was left undone. Miss Joslin, recognizing the need of keeping in touch with the members who had left college, in 1894 compiled a complete list of members, with address of each. She also secured material for three later directories published in 1895, 1896, 1897. Until 1897 practically all the work of extension was done from Alpha Chapter through its founders, alumnae, and its chapter organization excepting as other chapters, alert and watch ful. passed on to them suggestions of opportunities which came to them. In the Trident Table of Contents, Business Manager lists, and in the Grand Council lists more explicit record of the routine work of these early members will be found. The first six charters were signed by Sarah Ida Shaw, as & 2 ~ 1 1 1 Sarah Ida Shaw, A (Grand President, 1888-1893.) Dr. Eleanor (Pond) Mann, A. Florence Isabelle Stewart, A (1907).

Space forbids much of detail. The girls of Alpha have left a record that needs no words to interpret it. Most of them fine students, some of them exceptionally so, earnest in purpose, zealous in labor, and loyal, both then and now, the result of their endeavors is their highest and only necessary enconium. At various meetings during the year 1889, the following girls were initiated, Bertha Lee Gardner, Maud Eliza Muzzy, Blanche Ellen Seaver, Carrie Usher Tanner and Clara Grace Ayres, Sophomores ; Nettie Louisa Buckland, Mary Elizabeth Cochran, Etta lone Ferry, Christine Evelyn Jansson, Edith Knowles, Susie Ida Sayre, Flora Mandane Smith, thus raising the first year chapter (to Nov. 22, 1889) to thirty-one. The records of the early meetings show decisions on matters of symbolism and constitution which having been left open questions were discussed and voted upon by the chapter as a whole. The records reveal a quiet, level headed, steady progress, a simplicity that made no flaunting of the project under way and yet a breadth of insight and judgment that measured pretty ac- curately the task to which they had bent their energies. There is a quiet dignity about even their simplest reports, a quaint and perhaps only partial appreciation of what these rec- ords meant, that the motions and opinions therein recorded were in reality the completion of the task begun in the early fall of 1888, the organizing of a new fraternity for women. In short, both the early members of Alpha and the charter members of the older chapters may all be looked upon as in a measure, founders of Tri Delta. By their labors and their suc- cesses the development of Delta Delta Delta was made possible. Trials of Alpha External rivalry and opposition to a new society were to be expected. The audacity of the attempt created astonishment and even their kindliest friends burdened them with well-meant advice to "give it up" and apply for a charter in some of the established sororities. They were well provided with the periodicals of such societies, their rivals even contributing a good supply. They quietly read all that was offered and as quietly continued to work out their own plans. But neither their newness nor their finan- cial burdens were their worst trial. A variety of opinions exist- 26 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. ed (within the Chapter) as to what kind of a society they had really formed. Some wanted it "secret" like their rivals and a few "semi-secret", while others wanted it "open", either with a theory of better opposition to their rivals or as "a matter of con- science". Those who wanted it semi-secret favored secret rituals and open meetings but when their suggestion was adopted and two or three open meetings held, they soon concluded that they did not care to try to prepare accommodations for all who might come. Among those who desired an "open society" were many who favored the Delta Upsilon plan and desired to make Tri- Delta an example of that plan among the women's fraternities. "But soon invitations from other sororities began to come in, causing some resignations and a general feeling of uneasiness and all were speedily convinced that permanence could only be assured by being 'secret' like their rivals." A recent letter from Mrs. Martin, giving the outlines of this trying period, follows the sentence quoted above with one saying : "During all this try- ing season, Miss Pond worked loyally, hand in hand, with me and gradually the elements of uncertainty disappeared and suc- cess began to crown the efforts of the new chapter." Success of Alpha That a society of so few members should grant three other charters to far distant groups in its first year of existence was somewhat unusual. Fourteen girls returned to school in the fall of '89, but on initiation day nine others donned the Stars and Crescent and the continued existence of Alpha Chapter of Delta Delta Delta was insured. The Aim During the eighteen years which have followed, through five convention revisions of the Constitution, "The Aim" of the fraternity as written by its founders has remained unchanged. "The aim of this fraternity shall be to establish a perpetual bond of friendship among the members, to develop a stronger and more wom- anly character, to broaden the moral and intellectual life, and to ma- terially assist its members in every possible way." Not out of character to follow this are the words of the present Grand President, Amy Olgen Parmelee, who in closing a recent communication says: "Let the chapter life cultivate in each member accuracy, promptness, business ability, reliability and justice."

B. — This was the report of that meeting which was held immedi- ately after the Woman's Pan-Hellenic Convention which had been called to meet in Boston by Kappa Kappa Gamma. Three delegates being re- quired from each sorority. Alpha Chapter had assembled with one of its own number, one each from Gamma and Delta (Deuteron) Chapters as their representatives. Advantage was taken of this and the first Inter- Chapter Conference of Tri-Delta called, resulting as the minutes relate. This meeting was held in the parsonage of the People's Church, opposite the Youth's Companion Building (then under construction) corner of Columbus Ave. and Berkeley St. The majority of the out of town mem- bers of Delta Delta Delta then roomed in this building and were as closely associated as in a chapter house. B. L. P. In a later record is found: "On Wednesday, Nov. 25, '91, the first number of the Trident ap- peared in its dainty cover of gold, silver and blue. It contains 34 pages of interesting matter, including articles by members of various chapters, alumnae notes and letters from all the chapters. It certainly is a very creditable production, showing the careful and diligent work of the edi- tors and business managers and it fully merits our warm admiration and praise." Charter Inquiries.

DEVELOPMENT. First Chapter Admitted To develop and extend a new society along wise, successful and safe lines is indeed a greater task than to found one. The history of chapter extension in all the Greek letter societies passes through the various phases that may be termed aggres- sive, progressive, conservative and ultra-conservative, which last phase graduates, sometimes involuntarily, to complete stagna- tion. The order in which these phases are experienced in the different societies varies much and it is useless to try to judge under which any have labored or have yet to enter. To denom- inate the periods of extension in any way would run the danger of arousing the only differences of opinion that have ever pro- duced a suspicion of discordant feeling in Tri Delta history. But a brief outline of extension is attempted here as both the follow- ing chapters of the general history, the histories of the individ- ual chapters and alliances and parts of the statistical pages are all really contributions to this subject. For the earliest extensions the manuscript of the first his- torian is best authority. "It happened that one of the first set of freshmen initiates, Josephine Center, boarded at the Young Woman's Christian As- sociation, where her pin attracted the attention of Miss Etta May Budd, B. S., '82, Iowa State College, who was taking a course in painting at the Boston Art Museum. This young lady had founded a society, U. D. T., at her Alma Mater, and had inten- tions of spreading the same throughout the world. She had al- ready opened a correspondence with several colleges, among them Simpson, where a local L. F. V. by name, existed, which had pledged itself to join her society. Miss Budd requested an interview with the leading spirits in Tri Delta with a view to ne- gotiating about forming a chapter of her own society, but it did not seem wise to the Boston University girls to do this, since the Iowa College was not well known. After prolonged discussion, a coalition was formed and some things in the constitution of (32) CXFXXOGft TlSO SBT Dezjtj* ZmLra Uel-TB Fj*jitE¥W1ty NAMING OF CHAPTERS. 33 Miss Budd's society were incorporated in that of Tri-Delta, not- ably those portions referring to the Commissioner of Education, the provinces and the arrangement for chapters in Canada and England. Miss Budd was accordingly initiated at the same time that the last quota of freshmen was added to the list (Mar. 7, '89), but as she did not intend to return to the west until summer, it was decided to postpone the initiation of the two chapters in Iowa until that time. The L. F. V. society, how- ever, was unwilling to wait, for it was customary at Simpson College to pledge preparatory students in the spring term, and as they had three rivals, I. C (later Pi Beta Phi), Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma, they felt their prospects would be better if they could be initiated immediately. Unfortunately none of the upper class girls at Boston University could go, so after much discussion, it was voted to grant the charter without delay, sending some of the documents through the mail and giv- ing others to Miss Budd to take later. Since the society was now in truth a fraternity, it became necessary to have a guard or chapter pin and the Trident was selected as the most satisfactory. Never since that time have such massive Tridents held sway over the hearts that beat be- neath them but they served their purpose well on that occasion for they excited unbounded curiosity and questions rained thick and fast until the answer came, 'We are a National Fraternity.' Naming of Chapters Miss Budd had asked for the letter Delta, and Delta Deut- eron was therefore given to the chapter at Simpson College, in accordance with a system of naming previously agreed upon. This arrangement gave one letter of the alphabet to each state, to be borne by the first chapter in the state, while the second was to be known as the Deuteron, and the third as the Triteron of this letter. Accordingly the charters were granted, Delta to Iowa State Agricultural College at Ames, Iowa, and Delta Deut- eron to Simpson College, at Indianola, Iowa. The chapter at Simpson, contrary to expectation, was initiated first, but the charters remained unchanged, for it was deemed best in defer- ence to Miss Budd to let her chapter have the honor of being first in the state, since its charter was granted before the one at Simpson." 34. HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. N. B. — Later conventions simplified this naming system by adher- ing as closely as possible to an alphabetical order, and upon the exhaus- tion of the alphabet the plan of making a combination of the letter of the nearest chapter with some other letter has been adopted. — B. L. P. Chapter Extension By reference to chapter histories it will be seen that al- though the initiation of the Delta Chapter above mentioned oc- curred in June, 1890, some fifteen girls being initiated or pledged (among the pledged members was Flora Wilson, daughter of Secretary Wilson), this chapter never really organ ized as the faculty passed stringent anti-fraternity rules before college opened in the fall. Consequently the third chapter to be added to the roll was really Epsilon, (1889) of Knox College, Galesburg, 111., and the fourth, Gamma of Adrian College, Adrian, Mich. (1890). Beta, St. Lawrence University, Canton, N. Y., came into the fold Dec. 24, 1891 ; Zeta, University of Cincinnati, was added in 1892, and in 1893, Eta, University of Vermont, was added just prior to the calling of the first national convention, at Galesburg, 111. In this day of patronage of the greater univer- sities, it is something of a note-worthy fact that although Delta Delta Delta was founded in one of the larger schools, the Alpha Chapter had as its loyal supporters through a considerable por- tion of the formative years, its four oldest chapters in schools generally known as "the smaller colleges." These, however, were long established schools of good collegiate rank with other well established Greek letter societies, and the work that these chapters were able to do for their fraternity speaks louder than words for the quality and character of these student bodies. Used to long endeavor, patient of result and steadfast in purpose, they were perhaps peculiarly qualified to aid in a new enterprise. An article in the Reviezv of Reviews, Sept, 1892, says: "The principal task of our American Colleges is to make men" and it might be said in regard to the extension of Tri-Delta, that while since those early days it has not been the policy to enter the smaller colleges, nevertheless Tri Delta has recognized that its chief responsibility is to select noble women and where these are fostered Tri Delta is proud tc remain. In 1894 Theta was placed at the University of Minnesota, (Minneapolis), Kappa at the University of Nebraska (Lincoln), and Iota at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). The ALUMNAE ALLIANCES. 35 latter was perhaps the one unfortunate experience in chapter ex- tension, the rank of the school blinding distant executives as to a necessity for very thorough local investigations. This charter was loyally surrendered (1900) by the chapter itself, devotion to the welfare of the general fraternity convincing them of the wisdom of such a course. In 1895, Lambda was chartered at Baker University, Baldwin, Kansas, Sigma at Wesleyan Univer- sity, Middletown, Conn., and Upsilon at Northwestern Univer- sity, Evanston, 111. The next year, 1896, gave two more, Nu, Ohio State University, Columbus, O., and Omicron, Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y. In 1898, Mu Chapter was installed in the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis., and Xi at the Woman's College of Baltimore, Md. But one chapter was ad- mitted in 1900, Pi in the University of California, Berkley, Cal. Three years later, 1903, Rho was installed in Barnard College, Columbia University, New York City, and in 1904 four chapters were admitted, some of which had had petitions pending for more than two years. These chapters were Tau at Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pa. ; Phi, University of Iowa, Iowa City : Chi, University of Mississippi, Oxford, Miss., and Psi, Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa. In 1905 there was a return to the first letter of the alphabet, for the youngest chap- ter, situated at Randolph-Macon Woman's College, Lynchburg, Va., Alpha Xi. Alumnae Alliances The Alumnae Association movement has met with the great- est success and swiftest progress among the women's fraterni- ties. Pi Beta Phi was the first to start such an idea when in 1881, as the I. C. Sorosis, thirteen years after founding, she began the establishment of Alumnae Chapters. Several changes in her plans of alumnae organizations have been made. In 1889, seventeen years after founding, Alpha Phi organized its first two Alumnae Chapters. Delta Gamma took up the idea at about the same time. Kappa Kappa Gamma opened one on a some- what indefinite plan in 1892, twenty-two years after founding, which existed until 1896. After this their present plan was taken up and officially recognized in 1901-1902. Eighteen years after founding, that is in 1892, Gamma Phi Beta began this work. In 1893, Kappa Alpha Theta organized its first Alumnae Chapter and Chi Omega organized its first one in 1900. 36 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. Delta Delta Delta, founded 1888, made provision from the first for the founding of Alumnae Chapters or Alliances as they are called. But four classes had graduated from Alpha Chap- ter, when its Alliance was formed, August 29, 1892. The first election of officers is reported in the Trident (Vol. II, No. 1) as follows: Pres. — Clara Grace Ayres, of Baltimore; V. Pres. — Bertha Lee Gardner, of Washington, D. C. ; Sec. and Treas. — Emily Frances Allen, of Boston, Mass. They were all busy women but found time to strengthen and broaden the alliance movement. Miss Gardner was the first Alumnae Department Editor of the Trident. The Third Degree ritual although previously prepared was not used until 1895, when a class of eight Alpha seniors was initiated. The number of alumnae being small and scattered, after the second meeting of Alpha Alliance, June 8, 1893, it was decided to reserve all important business for an annual meeting following Com- mencement each year, but by 1897, the present system of regular monthly meetings was in full operation. The first two alumnae to receive the third degree, outside of Alpha Chapter, were two Lambda girls who were visiting in Boston, Anna M. Hair and Mrs. Mary Murray Hair. They were made Circle Degree mem- bers, July 19, 1895. Mary Chadbourne Smith, Theta, also re- ceived the third degree at this time. Epsilon was the next chapter to follow in alliance organiza- tion, then the Chicago Alliance was organized by one of Tri Delta's founders, Dr. Eleanor Pond Mann, in 1898. The others to the number of sixteen have followed in rapid succession, as appears hereinafter in detail. Although the youngest of the seven stronger national soror- ities, Delta Delta Delta was of the first, perhaps the first, to work out and perfect the Alumnae Association system. Delta Delta Delta was the first sorority to make an allied and influential place for Alumnae and the third degree, known as the Circle or Alliance Degree, is a distinctive feature. One of the impressive features of a Tri Delta Convention is the combin- ation of graduate and under-graduate work. Alumnae alliances were planned by the founders in 1888 and were sanctioned and further provided for by the First National Convention (1893). IN OTHER LINES. ' 37 At the second (1894) and third (1897) National Conven- tions of Delta Delta Delta, the Alumnae Alliance Delegates worked not only with the main body but were given equal powers with the official delegates of the active chapters. It was felt better work could b? done by tha alliances if a firmer organi- zation could be accomplished and National Sessions of Delta Delta Delta Alumnae Alliances were undertaken in 1898. In Other Lines As late as 1880 but six men's fraternity magazines were in operation. But one sorority exceeds Delta Delta Delta in the number of volumes of magazines published, by anything more than a very few numbers, although four of the other sororities preceded Delta Delta Delta by from sixteen to twenty-one years in organization. Delta Delta Delta took up the publication of the Trident when there were but four active Chapters, issued the first number on her third birthday and has not only continued it without interruption but has placed it on a paying basis. The convention of 1906 authorized the publication of a private bulle- tin "The Triton," which has just completed No. 1 of Vol II. Sig- ma Chi brought out something of the kind for awhile but the first regularly issued private bulletin among men's fraternities was "The Hustler" of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1892. As far as known but one other sorority, Chi Omega, publishes a secret magazine, three numbers of which have been issued. It is called "The Mysta- gogue." The following chapters trace the history out in its respec- tive sections under the heads of Government, Finances, Visiting Delegate, Publications, Conventions, Intec-Sorority Events, Chapter Histories and Alliance Histories. In statistical pages will be found a chronological outline and various charts and tables indicative of the progress of Delta Delta Delta and useful for reference on general sorority subjects.

Palmer's History of Phi Delta Theta (1905), The History of Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1893) and Kanna's Record (1903) have been freely used as reference books through- out the work. If in citing data of other fraternities or sororities any mistakes have been made, they are errors of information rather than those of intention. — B. L. P. DEGREES AND INSIGNIA Degrees Delta Delta Delta is distinguished by being a fraternity with three distinct degrees. I. The Trident Degree is a formal degree administered at the time of pledging and is perhaps as dignified and binding as anything in Pan-Hellenism. II. The Stars and Crescent Degree is the regular collegiate chapter degree with its A A A, A A A and A © $ mot- toes. III. The Circle or Alumnae Alliance Degree is also a part of formal ritual work and is known as the Graduate Degree. It can only be administered to those having taken the Trident and Stars and Crescent Degree. Insignia BADGES. The official badge of the First or Trident Degree has been authorized as a Trident of silver and is known as the pledge pin. It bears the chapter letter and may be worn as a guard with the second degree badge. The badge of the Second Degree is described as consisting of three stars within a Crescent of three hundred degrees, bearing three Deltas. This is the college emblem and is recognized as the pre-eminent symbol. The badge of the Third Degree is a Delta in white enamel supported by three Deltas of gold and inscribed in a golden circle, surrounded by six spherical triangles in blue enamel. This is to be worn beneath the badge of the Second or Stars and Crescent Degree. MOTTOES. Besides the secret mottoes of the second and third degrees, there is the Tri Alpha motto of the Trident or first degree, which (38) INSIGNIA. 39 is also known as the open motto of the fraternity and is 'A(j<£aAw« 'AyawwcT 'AAA^Xas. (Asphalos' Agapomen Alle'las). "Let us steadfastly love one another." CALL. The call of Delta Delta Delta is sung to the 1, 3, 5, and 8 of a scale ascending and descending. It is AAaAa AAaAa AAaAa . (Alala Alala Alala') Ta lepa IIoTeiSama (Ta Hiera Poseidonia.) COLORS. The colors of Delta Delta Delta are silver, gold and blue, (cerulean). tree. . The tree is the Pine. FLOWKK. The flower is the pansy. JEWEL. The jewel is the pearl. PATRON. The patron Greek divinity of the fraternity is Poseidon. COAT OF ARMS. The Seventh National Convention (1906) adopted a Coat of Arms as designed by Richard B. Lockwood of New York. It is in Heraldic Terminology as follows : A Shield Quartered — the first and fourth azure, a Trident or. The second and third or — a Pine tree ppr. Crest — A pansy ppr. Mottd — 'Aor<£aAak AyanweT AAA^Aas. N. B. — Meaning the 1st and 4th are blue fields on each of which is a silver Trident; the 2nd and 3rd are gold fields on each of which is a pine tree, natural color. Elizabeth A. S. Tredwell, Rho, was chairman of Committee securing design. FLAG. A selection made by the Grand Council was sanctioned by the convention of 1906. The design is described as a rectangular 40 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. flag of three vertical bars, the first and third sea green, (green being the union of Tri Delta's colors), one bearing three Deltas (superimposed) in white and the other, three stars in white; the middle bar, white with the green pine tree upon it. The design was drawn by Eleanor McClure, of Epsilon, daughter of S. S. Mc- Clure, Publisher, New York City (he, himself, an alumnus of Knox College.) STATIONERY HEADINGS. Stationery headings for formal correspondence have been in vogue since the first year. They are too numerous to describe, excepting by illustration. Business stationery was varied ac- cording to fancy of officer or chapter until in 1905 a uniform style was adopted, the size being the square commercial note for both chapters and Grand Council. A uniform style of embossed lettering is used by the Grand Council and each individual chapter has freedom of choice in lettering, color, and design. Circle Degree pin adopted 1900.

The archives are still with Alpha. The Grand Council System inaugurated by the first convention has been systematized and strengthened by each succeeding one. The Grand Council at present contains ten members. Provisions were made for five provinces — Alpha, the At- lantic State — Beta, between the Atlantic States and the Mis- sissippi — Gamma, the remainder of the United States — Canada, Alpha — and England, Alpha. Each Province is directly under the supervision of a Grand Vice President and her Deputy. The Alumnae Alliance System is advisory to and subject to regulations by the National Conventions and Grand Councils of the general fraternity. Its organization and government follow the same rules. Each petition for a charter is first sent to the Grand Vice- President of the province wherein the petitioning body is situ- ated. It is then submitted to the Executive Committee, and with their approval to the Grand Council. It must then be sub- mitted to the chapters of all the provinces and can only be granted by the two-thirds vote of each chapter of all three provinces. No petition is submitted to vote until the peti- tioning body is visited by the Grand Vice President of the province or her Deputy. The petition must receive the unanimous favor of the Grand Council before it can be submitted to the chapters. No charter can be withdrawn excepting by act of a National Convention. Vacancies in office between conventions are filled by vote of the Grand Council. Grand Council The First National Convention (1893) worked according to the existing original constitution and elected but five Grand (41) -42 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. Officers — President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and ^Tommissioner of Education. The editor of the Trident was not at that time considered a member of the Grand Council. The Second National Convention (1894) added that office to the Grand Council list, making it have six members. The burdens of administration having materially increased with the rapid growth of the fraternity, the Third National Con- vention (1897) made the number of Vice Presidents three, one for each province, added a Grand Marshal and a Grand Histor- ian and dropped the office of Commissioner of Education. The duties of this officer had been to maintain a high standard of scholarship among the undergraduates and to render assistance to alumnae in all educational enterprises, and these duties were in a measure distributed among the various officials provided. The office of Commissioner of Education was one of the things adopted from the plans of Etta May Budd for her nat- ional sorority which she had given up, joining Alpha Chapter of Delta Delta Delta and allying with the fraternity her two partially formed chapters at Ames and Indianola, Iowa. An Executive Committee was created in 1904, consisting of the Grand President, the three Grand Vice Presidents and the ^Grand Secretary. Nine members constituted the number of the Grand Council until the Seventh National Convention, when a tenth member, known as a Supervisor of Alliances, was added to the number. A larger use of the privilege of appointing deputies is being made each year, as the work falling upon each grand officer, as the or- ganization grows and perfects its system, is becoming too heavy to be carried by one person. In intensive development, in government, in finances, every- thing points to more thoroughly perfected business methods. Provinces The Provinces of the fraternity are directly under the super- vision of the Province Vice Presidents. But one change has ever been made in province distribution and that affected but one -chapter, Xi, changing it from Beta to Alpha province. A portion of the idea of province arrangement came from .the plans of Miss Etta May Budd. The idea of holding province CHARTER GRANTS. 45 conventions was originated at the First National Convention (1893) and so far as the delegates there knew was an original idea, they working out this plan in order to overcome the diffi- culties apprehended from a system of Tri-ennial National Con- ventions, then planned for. These province conventions held in 1895, 1898 and 1899 were greatly enjoyed and the plan was onlv abandoned because of the necessity of bi-ennial nationals and the feeling that too great a strain must not be put either upon the finances or the energies of the chapters. Besides the regular official duties that come to the province officer, the Grand Vice President, it is the custom for her to keep up constant communica- tion between her chapters by means of Province Round Robin letters. The province distribution of chapters is as follows: Delta Delta Delta Alpha Province. Active Chapters — Alpha — Boston University. Omicron — Syracuse University. Beta — St. Lawrence University. Rho — Barnard College. Eta — University of "Vermont. Sigma — Wesleyan University. Xi — Baltimore Woman's College. Tau — Bucknell University. Psi — University of Pennsylvania. Alpha Xi — Randolph-Macon Woman's College. Beta Province. Active Chapters — Gamma — Adrian College. Mu — University of Wisconsin. Epsilon — Knox College. Nu — Ohio State University. Zeta — University of Cincinnati. Upsilon — Northwestern University. Chi — University of Mississippi. Gamma Province. Active Chapters — Delta — Simpson College. Lambda — Baker University. Theta — University of Minnesota. Pi — University of California. Kappa — University of Nebraska. Phi — University of Iowa. Charter Grants The granting of charters was one of the prerogatives of the founders of the fraternity and Alpha Chapter until the first con- vention. The first two conventions did not do much to make any general rulings to limit this power, feeling perhaps that it was for the best interest of so young a so- ciety to leave it in their hands. The Third National Convention originated a plan whereby all had a voice 44 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. in the matter. Conventions had the right to grant charters until the Seventh, 1906, revoked this ruling. But one conven- tion, the Sixth, 1906, ever granted any charters. Twenty-five charters have been granted, one of which was never operated under. One charter was surrendered to the Fourth National Convention, twenty-three are at present in operation. Charter fees have been thrice raised. Petitioning bodies must bear all the incurred expenses, including a special personal inspection. While there have been twenty-five charters granted, more than double that number have been rejected. Nine were await- ing decision at the time of the Seventh National Convention, none of which has as yet received a final vote. Many of the pe- titioning bodies not granted charters from Delta Delta Delta have since received charters from well known sororities. It may be said that the history of charter grants could be divided into three sections, but of course these sections so overlap that no dividing line is absolute. As is the case with every progressive new society, the first officers and early chapters watched for desirable fields and generally followed the policy of choosing those petitioning bodies who were already organized into a local of recognized strength. Personal friends, usually Greeks themselves, were very active in locating such fields and the records, which are perhaps better unpublished, show many a curious and interesting relation of such aid. In the next stage of progress, while no effort was made to search for opportunities, yet the high grade school and a well recommended group were pretty sure of favorable consideration. In the last period, however, petitions for charters have sometimes been pending several years and in a few cases only have been granted when received a second and a third time. Not only has it been imperative to have a school of highest standing, with the most desirable students as petitioners, but questions of policy and location have made it possible to select but few of these. Alumnae Alliances "The Alliance as an organization has its own constitution, by-laws and ritual and holds special sessions at each national convention to discuss and legislate upon all subjects relating to • EXAMINATIONS. 45 alliances only which are not provided for in the constitution. Each Alliance is allowed a delegate to the national convention and there is allowed equal voting powers with the active dele- gates. No Alliance can be formed with fewer than six members. The object of the Alliances is to keep in touch with the active chapters and the sisters of college days by personal contact where possible, by a series of letters or bulletins where this can not be done. Literary programs, musicales, contributions to house funds, fraternity study, an occasional lecture, a little philanthrop- ic work are special objects. Recently an Alliance officer has been appointed whose especial duty is the study of the needs of the Alliance Chapters and the advisability of establishing i.ew ones. ' —The Trident (Ed.), Vol. XV, No. 3. Examinations Official examination on fraternity history and management is held in each chapter on the second Saturday in March. The question list and grading are in the hands of a Board of Super- visors appointed by the Grand President. The Grand Marshal publishes the record of the examinations in the Trident. These examinations have been conducted annually since 1898, and it was the custom to require each member to take them but once, provided each first year initiate secured a satisfactory grade. The Seventh National Convention provided for an exam- ination to be given each member twice during the college course. The freshmen are examined upon ritual, chapter roll and consti- tution, the juniors upon policy, methods, Pan-Hellenics, Inter- Sorority Conferences and questions on other fraternities. All grades of members taking examinations are published in the Triton. I FINANCES. An outline of the evolution of the financial system of Delta Delta Delta could be no better begun than by quoting again the words of one of the founders and making them apply not only to the organizers and early members of Alpha but to the Grand Officers of the earlier Councils and to the charter member groups , of all the earlier chapters. "How well they have kept their vows, there are many to testify, but how unstintingly they gave of .their money, time and strength will never be known." In the earliest days of chapter extension, all central expen- ses were borne by the founders and members of Alpha Chapter, some matters being paid by direct tax, the others silently liqui- dated from private purses. The charges for charter, pin, station- ery and installation officers' expenses were the only amounts charged up to the respective chapters. The first regular levy made upon the chapters was the demand for subscriptions to The Trident, which appeared November, 1891. The first con- vention endeavored to ensure the Trident income, the second fol- lowed suit, but it was not until the third convention, 1897, that any effective steps were taken to formulate a plan for collecting enough subscription money to run the magazine and thus some- what relieve Miss Allen (Editor in Chief), her business manag- ers and Alpha Chapter. This convention levied a per capita as- sessment on each chapter for the support of the Trident and placed its collection in the hands of the Grand Marshal. Up to this time (1897), all Grand Officers' expenses had been borne by themselves and all the official delegates for the fraternity at large had been obliged to pay their own bills in addition to giving their time and labor. The Chapters either paid or assisted in paying their delegate's convention traveling expenses and this it was thought accounted for many irregularities in represent- ation. Therefore, this third convention also levied a general an- nual per capita tax known as Grand Dues and provided that the traveling expenses of the active chapter delegates and of the Grand President, Grand Secretary and Editor of the Trident be (46) FINANCES. 47 thereafter paid out of the general fund. It also awarded $100.00 to the entertaining chapter of each convention. The grand dues were raised by the fourth convention to make provision for a wider range of representation, as more widely separated chapters were admitted and the name of the Grand Treasurer was added to the list whose traveling expenses came out of the general fund. The Fifth Convention facing the one small deficit in the history of Delta Delta Delta again made a slight increase in the dues. The Sixth Convention raised the dues of both active and Alliance members and also levied a per capita tax for visiting delegate's fund which was held separate and does not appear in balances. During most of this time, it is well to state that the Trident was paying its own way and that these increases were occasioned both by the growth of the organization and the more accurate methods employed in transacting its affairs. The Seventh Convention, finding a good surplus in the treas- ury, left the dues as they were with the exception of placing the special visiting delegate assessment and fund with the regular dues and funds*. Provision was made whereby a portion of the Alliance' delegate's traveling expenses will come out of the gen- eral fund. A motion was passed to increase the amount of the conven- tion fund for each entertaining chapter and provision was made for proportionate increases in this amount concurrent with chap- ter extension. This convention also very materially raised the charter fees. This was the fourth change in these. As it was reported that the Trident had passed from a mere- ly self supporting to a reasonably paying enterprise, provisions were made for the payment of a salary to the Editor-in-Chief. This salary is variable, being a percentage of the profits. The Editor pays for her own business management out of this salary. Thus has begun a transition from that condition so prevalent in women's societies where not only the burden of the labor and responsibility is borne, as it always must be, by a very few but the expense as well is allowed to drain heavily a few private purses, when it would be but a light tax if assumed by all those benefited. Each one of the seventeen hundred initiates will be proud to know that each step has steadily advanced the fraternity toward a goal of fair and equal representation and taxation, accu- rate and perfected business methods and eventually it is hoped as 48 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. far as actual outlay is concerned, to realize an absolutely self supporting system. The magnitude of the labors of love already accomplished for Tri Delta is indeed beyond computation and all of the future of couise depends on an equal devotion of its members, a devo- tion which must of necessity be its own reward. Finances of the Individual Chapters Beyond the apportioning of the Grand Dues and Trident assessments, the individual chapters are left to conduct their busi- ness affairs for themselves, simply being required to submit an an- nual report. It is gratifying to be able to state that in June, 1906, not a single chapter had a deficit to report and that sev- eral chapters either reported balances or the establishment of en- dowment funds. The financial reports of but nineteen chapters are at hand and give an aggregate sum of $10,086.00 as the year's income. But three of these report as small an income as $100.00 per year, thirteen of these vary from $125.00 to $500.00 per year, two report in excess of $1000.00, while one chapter, run- ning a chapter House, shows total book accounts of $3400.25. VISITING DELEGATE Probably two things impressed the Grand Council of 1900- 1902 with the advisability of making provision for a visiting dele- gate in the government system of Delta Delta Delta. In the first place for several years it was required that all petitioning bodies be personally investigated by some officially appointed and experienced member, if possible one on the Grand Council at that time — preferably the Grand Vice President of that province in which the petitioners were located. The bene- rits of such visits had thus been manifested in this work. In the second place the plan of having an official visiting member was being tried with success in other fraternities. After the subject had been properly presented and fully dis- cussed, the Boston Convention, (Fifth National, 1903), tabled a motion to institute such an office and appointed a committee to estimate the expenses that such an officer would incur. More special inspection work came up to be done between 1902 and 1904 than ever before. At the Galesburg Convention, (Sixth National, 1904), it was moved and carried "that Tri Delta have a visiting delegate who shall visit each chapter once in two years and that the Grand President be this visiting delegate and if she finds herself un- able to act, she shall appoint such delegate." To meet the ex- penses of such office, a per capita tax of fifty cents on both active and Alliance members was levied. For a few months after con- vention, the work of inspecting petitioning bodies and chapters first on the list was undertaken by the Grand President or by special deputies appointed by her but it was soon realized that the work would be of greater value if all inspections were made by the same person, and the Grand President, Mrs. Leutscher, being unable to undertake a task of such magnitude, appointed to the office, R. Louise Fitch, of Epsilon, but recently elected Editor- in-Chief of The Trident. It is interesting here to note the peculiar coincidence that nearly three years before, as the delegate of Epsilon to the Fifth (49) 50 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. National Convention, Boston, Miss Fitch had made the original motion that Delta Delta Delta institute the custom of having a visiting delegate. Now it fell to her lot to make the first com- plete round of personal inspections in the history of the Society. The cost of the inspecting tour was considerably less than esti- mated. She inspected twenty-two active chapters, Chi being omitted as it had so recently been inspected and installed and she had been present at the initiation installation. She visited ten Alliances and three Alumnae groups which have become Alliances and investigated three petitioning bodies. Great interest was manifested in her report at the Syracuse Conven- tion, and on every side one heard intense enthusiasm over and appreciation of her work expressed by the delegates. The con- vention, recognizing the full value of such a unifying and system- atizing method, continued the office under an improved financial aspect. Report of First Chapter Inspector. It is quite impossible to give a detailed account of the results of the visits of the first Chapter Inspector, for all the information relative to conditions at the time of each visit has been reported simply to the Council and it is thought advisable to keep it in the Council. However, a brief account of the trip and the methods employed to obtain desired information may be of interest. The first Chapter visited was Upsilon, at Northwestern Uni- versity, Evanston, 111. This was in May, 1905. From there I went to Columbus, Ohio, to visit Nu Chapter ; then to Cincinnati, Ohio, where Zeta is. At the request of two locals in that vicinity I visited each of them for several days. In October, Mu, at Madison, Wisconsin, was visited, and a petitioning group in that vicinity. In November, I spent several days with Phi, at Iowa City; in December, with Theta, at University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. January 8th, 1906, I started west, visiting in or- der, Delta, at Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa; Kappa at Uni- versity of Nebraska, Lincoln, Neb ; Lambda, at Baker University, Baldwin, Kansas; the Denver Alliance, at Denver, Colo., and then took a couple of days' rest or at least of change, at the Grand Canyon, in Arizona. Then on to Pi, at University of California, at Berkeley, Calif., and down to Los Angeles to see the Alliance REPORT OF FIRST CHAPTER INSPECTOR. 51 there. At Pasadena, cares were forgotten for a week in enjoy- ing the mountains and the side trips to the ocean. I reached Galva, 111., again on March 1st, and visited Epsilon, Knox Col- lege, Galesburg, 111., the second week in March. I started east March 23rd and visited in order, Gamma, at Adrian, Mich., Omi- cron, at Syracuse, N. Y. ; Beta at Canton, N. Y. ; Eta at Burling- ton, Vt. ; Alpha, at Boston. After a four days' rest, I visited Sigma, at Wesleyan University, at Middletown, Conn. ; Rho at Barnard College, New York City; Tau at Bucknell University, Lewis- burg, Penn. ; Psi, at University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia ; Xi, at Woman's College, Baltimore, Md. ; and last the youngest chapter, Alpha Xi at Randolph Macon Woman's College, Lynch- burg, Va. Left for Galva, 111., May 25th. As far as possible, four days were spent with each chapter. In that time, at each school, some social affair, tea, reception, card party or something of the kind was given at which I was enabled to meet the members of all rival Sororities in the insti- tution. Dinners, drives, theatres, dances, receptions, chafing dish spreads, luncheons, some or all were given at each chapter, to enable me to meet all active members and Alumnae, and in some cases gentlemen friends of each chapter, socially. During each visit a regular chapter meeting and also a regular Alliance meeting (where an Alliance existed) were held and regular busi- ness conducted in the ordinary way. Every chapter book was examined, plans and policy of chapter, characteristics and strength of rivals, house finances and methods of meeting bills for house or room, for Grand and Chapter dues were discussed. At every school, I was privileged to meet the President or Dean and talk over fraternity affairs. At every institution ex- cept one I was allowed to obtain the grades for the previous or present year, as I chose, in some cases for the entire course for each member. In the excepted school, I was informed that no one, under any provocation whatsoever, could be allowed to ob- tain any idea regarding the standing of any student. In several instances, at the invitation of the Local Pan-Hel- lenic Association, I was asked to talk Pan-Hellenic matters with the association and give what ideas I had gathered regarding rules and conditions in other schools. I met the Dean of Women at each school, where such an official exists, at her request, and talked over conditions among the college women and how the 52 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. sororities might be of service to college authorities in bettering conditions, etc. Every spare moment was spent talking, planning with chap- ter officers and members, discussing national affairs, hearing troubles, suggesting remedies, planning for everything, from keeping books and financing houses to "rushing stunts." At each school the chapter was urged strongly to do everything possible to promote Pan-Hellenic interests and to aid in college organiz- ation and interests. Each was urged also to mix wisely social and intellectual accomplishments. In every instance, rival fra- ternities were delightfully cordial and hospitable. At Madison, Kappa Kappa Gamma, at Lincoln, Kappa Alpha Theta, and at Berkeley, Kappa Alpha Theta sent invitations to dinner to the chapter house, each of which was happily accepted. A number of Grand Officers of Kappa Alpha Theta, of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma and Chi Omega were met at various places and. the little exchange of experiences was exceedingly en- joyable. The task of visiting the chapters is not a light one. The social side alone is wearing, though pleasant, and the energy nec- essary to judge quickly and fairly, ferret out true conditions, be ready with solutions for any kind of problem, to go with but little or no sleep, catch trains at any hour of day or night, etc. — this energy expended is incalculable. But if, as is hoped, the greater possibilities of usefulness for fraternity members is real- ized, if system and order prevail, if more enthusiasm is aroused and interest increased, then the first visiting delegate will feel that the discomfitures and hard work are more than repaid. R. Louise Fitch, Epsilon, '02. PUBLICATIONS OF DELTA DELTA DELTA The Trident It has been stated that no fraternity has attempted the pub- lication of a regular magazine so early in its history and with its strength so untried as Tri Delta. Be that as it may, conceding that the making of the attempt was brave, the degree of success has proved the attempt well warranted. After the first Inter-Sorority conference, held in Boston, in 1891, a conference of Tri Deltas present was called by Alpha Chapter for April 20. The entire active chapter of Alpha was present and some of its alumnae. Delta Chapter was represent- ed by Edith Noon and Gamma Chapter by Bessie M. Leach. This was the first meeting of representatives from more than two chapters in the history of the fraternity. It was then and there decided that Delta Delta Delta should begin the publication of a magazine to be known as the Trident. Emily Frances Allen, of Alpha, was elected Editor-in-Chief. It was voted to complete one volume each year, that volume to consist of three numbers, one issued each term. It was decided to publish the first number of the first volume on Thanksgiving Day, 1891, that being the third anniversary of the founding of the fraternity. This was done and since that date but one number has ever been omitted, that being number three of Volume II. It is su- perfluous to say that this was owing to lack of funds, as from other records it will be seen that the magazine enterprise was launched when the fraternity had but six widely scattered chap- ters, that it then had but eight and that the first convention had not yet been called. The Trident has always been issued in its present form, octavo.; , The first number contained thirty-four pages. Four volumes of three numbers each (omitting Vol. II, No. 3.) of this size were issued. With Volume V the publication of four num- (53) 54 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. bers for each volume was commenced. Volume VII saw an in- crease to fifty pages per number and since that time to the just completed Volume XVI the quality of press work, paper, binding and illustration have been steadily advanced as well as the num- ber of pages. Volume XVI, No. 3 is the largest yet issued and contained 120 pages. The Trident remained with Alpha Chapter, Emily Frances Allen, Editor-in-Chief, through nine volumes. To anyone famil- iar with the history of fraternity journalism, need more be said? At the Cincinnati convention, Miss Allen positively refused a re-election. At two successive conventions she had been able to report a balance in the treasury and the fact was keenly real- ized by all that nine years of unflagging zeal and loyalty on the part of the Editor-in-Chief and her co-workers had not only created an assured future for the magazine but had exemplified past all telling the true Tri Delta spirit. The fourth National Convention elected Julia E. Closterman, Editor of the Trident and placed its management with her chap- ter, Zeta, of the University of Cincinnati. Volumes X and XI were very satisfactorily edited under this management. The fifth National convention re-elected Miss Closterman but she was unable to continue in the work and later the Grand Council elect- ed E. Anna Harrison, Editor-in-Chief and placed the manage- ment with Xi Chapter at the Woman's College of Baltimore, Md. Volumes XII and XIII evidence the wisdom of this choice. Miss Harrison, who was re-elected Editor of the Trident by the sixth National convention, being unable to complete her term re- signed and was succeeded by her Assistant Editor, Mary Taylor Abercrombie, of Xi. She succeeded nicely with Volume XIV, but resigned the task to R. Louise Fitch, of Epsilon Chapter, and she as Editor was also commissioned to undertake the business management of the magazine. To quote the policy of the Editor verbatim from a recent letter will give enough reasons why the seventh National con- vention elected her unanimously for this position in 1906-1908 and under such improved conditions of management and finances as are explained elsewhere. "My policy, in so far as it is possible to define it, in editing the Trident, calls first for system. In this is included strict busi- REPORT OF FIRST CHAPTER INSPECTOR. 55 ness methods, which comprise closely paid and collected bills, promptness, accuracy and courtesy in all dealings. As to the Trident itself, the mechanical construction receives first attention. The material is arranged in departments, for the sake of the convenience and benefit of the readers. Articles are headed attractively, cuts printed on clear, good quality paper, at- tention is paid to division and paging of articles, so that when the magazine is picked up it at once inspires in the holder an eagerness to read it. Next — material is devoted primarily to the interests of Delta Delta Delta, then to general fraternity news and problems, and then to general college news, for in a measure college and fra- ternity affairs are inseparable. The Trident is a newspaper in so far as it is possible to chronicle the doings of any and all Tri-Deltas. Each number is to contain a carefully prepared "leading article," which is of special value from a news or an educational standpoint, to the fra- ternity. Each is to contain some bit of brightness, a humorous poem, a sketch, an incident, a rollicking song, something that cheers and amuses. Chapter letters in so far as it is possible to train the writers thereof, are to be void of monotony and super- latives, or speaking positively, are to contain, if possible, origin- ality, tersely expressed recitals of conditions at each college and chapter, that are at once instructive and entertaining. Certain issues are to be devoted to special purposes, to the alumnae in- terests, to the honors of Tri Deltas, to the Fraternity's history, to the writings of talented members, etc. Summing up — My policy is to produce a magazine that will be indespensible in news and enthusiasm and general fraternity instructiveness to any loyal member of the Fraternity. R. Louise Fitch, Epsilon, '02. The cover design of Volume X and XI was the original work of Lavina Perin Gray of Zeta. The credit of the present cover design, which was adopted with Volume XV, also goes to Zeta as both this and the sketches used inside for department headings are again the work of Lavina Perin Gray. In making out a table of contents for the Trident no account is made of the regular departments which exist in them all — Chapter Letters, Alliance Letters, Personals, Editorials, and Ex- changes. These departments have been variously handled but at 56 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. present follow the general literary matter in the magazine and are very ably ordered and divided as follows — Incidents, Editor- ials, Chapter Letters, Alliance Letters, Personals, Marriages, En- gagements, Initiates, Births, In Memoriam, Exchanges. With the present volume, there began a slight change from the idea of a quarterly, the magazine appearing four times during the school year, November, February, April and June. As noticed elsewhere, the old plan of placing the business management with the Chapter of the Editor-in-Chief has been abandoned. During 1905-6, the plan of combining Editor-in- Chief and Business Manager in one person was so successful that the Convention of 1906 sanctioned and continued the custom.

In response to often expressed desires from members of the sev- eral chapters of Delta Delta Delta for a journal to represent the interests of the fraternity, we begin the" publication of the Trident. 1 Other Greek letter societies have found such publications beneficial, and it is to be hoped that this new venture will prove advantageous to the organization in which we take a proper pride. It shall be our aim to foster among the members still stronger allegiance to the "gold, silver and blue ;" to cultivate higher literary aspirations, and to develop, by means of- the fraternity, an increased sentiment of loyalty to our respective colleges. While seeking mainly to pro- mote the interests of Tri Delta and fraternity life in general, con- siderable space will be devoted to college affairs, and to matters pertaining to the higher education of women, Although the man- agement will endeavor to accomplish these objects, success implies and demands the hearty co-operation of individual members through- out the order. We are grateful for the many kind wishes that have been expressed, for the subscriptions and the contributions to the pages of this first number. It will be necessary, however, to furnish these contributions regularly, and alumni, especially, will please bear this fact in mind. This initial number falls far below our ideal in many particulars, but we have made a beginning. We would avail ourselves gladly of friendly criticisms and suggestions in regard to future issues of the quarterly. Fac Simile First Page First Trident. First Illustrated Trident Cover. (1900).

Triton The Seventh National Convention authorized the publication of a Private Bulletin to appear simultaneously with the Trident and to be under the same management. It is to be of a variable size, as occasion demands. To quote the editor: "Its purpose is two-'fold, to curtail the work of the grand officers and more thoroughly to acquaint the members of Tri Delta with the work of the Council and the problems which continually confront the fra- ternity. Convention, Council and Chapter reports, suggestions and directions to chapter officers, reports on endowment fund ; in short, the private business of the society will be reserved for these pages." • The Executive Committee of the Grand Council have be- stowed the name of "Triton" upon this secret magazine. Volume I has been issued, the first number containing twenty octavo pages, the second, ten, third thirteen, and the fourth thirty-five. No. 1 of Vol. II is just issued and contains ten pages. Accompanying the second was a colored print of the new official flag design, adopted by the Seventh Convention. Pamphlets Probably the most extensive pamphlet issued by the sorority v.as compiled and edited in 1906 by K. Ccurtenay Johnston (Pi), Grand Vice President of Gamma Province. It was entitled "Chapter House Ownership" and reported the conditions prevail- PUBLICATIONS PAMPHLETS. 69 ing September, 1905, in those universities and colleges where chapters of Delta Delta Delta were located. Besides giving data as to chapter houses or halls rented or owned by all sororities in these schools and summarizing the conditions as reported in Delta Delta Delta, a set of "Recommendations for Ownership" was given, showing "Methods of Building" and a synopsis of the expense accounts for the running of the chapter houses of Omi- cron, Syracuse, N. Y., Mu, Madison, Wis., and Pi, Berkley, Cal., (east, central, west) during October, 1905. Particulars of the plan of building the Lambda Chapter House, Baldwin, Kansas, and of the accumulation of Pi Chapter's Furniture Fund were also appended. The Pamphlet contained fourteen octavo pages. The following blank reports were issued for 1906 for each chapter and alliance and filed as filled and read for convention : Report for Year Ending Of Chapter.

The technical description of the chapter books is "Flexible loose leaf binders, with three rings. Made of best red buffing leather, size 9 x 11. In center of outside cover, stamped in gold, is the stamp of stars and crescent. The ruling of Treasurer's book is the regular ledger ruling, of Historian and Secretary five faint (5 faint)." Model record pages are enclosed in each Treasurer's and Sec- retary's book, while in each Historian's book is a complete out- line providing for the keeping of a narrative history of each year, an undergraduate and post graduate record of each initiate and tables of initiations, social functions, college honors, gradua- tions, deaths, marriages and births, with a complete index sys- tem. An annual inspection of these books will be made and from these records the chapter officers will fill their report blanks foi the respective Grand Council Officers. Directories The first official directory of Tri Delta was published as an appendix to the Trident number of June, 1894, and was com- piled by Charlotte E. Joslin, of Alpha, at that time Grand Sec- retary. This contained the roll of eight chapters and comprised a list of two hundted and thirty-six names with their addresses. Miss Joslin issued a separate printed directory for each of the next three years and to the Directory of 1896, a page of fraternity statistics was added, compiled by Sarah Ida Shaw Martin, then Commissioner of Education. The plan of this directory has been followed in general by the succeeding secretaries each year. The Directory for 1904 contained a list of twenty-two active chapters and the lists of officers for nine Alumnae Alliances. One thousand three hundred and forty names and addresses were listed but this was not a full list of fraternity membership, as no PUBLICATIONS — CATALOGUES. 71 names were given from the two defunct chapters or names whose addresses were not obtained. Nine directories or membership lists have been issued. The Seventh National Convention ordered the publication of a direc- tory for 1906-1908 that will be somewhat more of a catalogue in nature. Catalogues A card catalogue of the members of the fraternity was or- dered by the Grand Council of 1904-1906. This has been col- lected and filed by Grand Marshal Edna Wharton Hoch, and the following is a copy of the blank form used : PRINT Is Ink. plainly.

There is now going to press for 1900-1908 a catalogue of Delta Delta Delta which contains the usual data of name, mar- ried name and address of members in alphabetical order and chap- ter lists, Alumnae Alliance lists, with positions indicated by marks and type. A list according to geographical distribution is also included and a map of the United States, showing Chapter and Alliance locations. Constitutions During the early history of the fraternity, the Constitution was supplied the members and chapters in typewritten copies only, but after the Third National Convention (1897), a printea Constitution was issued. This has been four times revised and reprinted, 1900, 1902, 1904, 1906. The size of the printed Constitutions has been 12 mo. The covers of the first two were light blue, lettered in gold, and bore three golden Deltas above and below lettering. The third issue, 1902, had yellow covers and black lettering. The fourth, 1904, was again bound in blue and nothing appeared on the cover but a fac-simile of the badge in gilt. The fifth issue of the Constitu- tion, as revised by the Seventh National Convention (1906), ha-; just been issued. It is bound in brown, lettered in black and contains thirty-two pages, with a leaflet insert of important Con- vention rulings. Convention Reports The Convention reports have always been typewritten cop- ies, are verbatim and issued immediately to each chapter and officer. Condensed reports are published in the next number of the Trident with full descriptions of the accompanying social events. All but two of the Province Convention reports were quite fully given in the Trident. The Seventh National Convention marked an innovation in bringing out Convention reports. The social features and the representation were reported in the Trident, while the verbatim minutes of the Convention were printed in full in the Triton (Vol. I, No. 1), in this way reaching all those engaged in active work. PUBLICATIONS — RITUALS. 73 ■ >. Rituals The ritual work of the three degrees of Delta Delta Delta is of course not sent to the press. But one typewritten copy is is- sued to each Chapter or Alliance. The pledging system was made formal and binding by the issuing of ritual work for the Trident or Pledging Degree. The Stars and Crescent Degree has been worked on by a Ritual Com- mittee at each Convention but no integral changes have ever been made. The ritual for the Circle or Alliance Degree was compiled by practically the same hands as the two former degrees and has suffered but little revision. A Post Initiation Lecture, prepared by Ida Shaw Martin, has been issued to each chapter. The full meaning of Tri Delta obli- gations and the elaborate and intricate details of the symbolisms are therein explained. Songs The songs of Tri Delta had as their nucleus a collection made by Alpha Chapter in the first year of its history. Written copies were sent out to the first few chapters. The first copies con- tained twelve songs. A committee on Song Book has been at work through three convention periods, collecting the songs of the various chapters and those from time to time published in the Trident. The result of their labors finally came into the hands of Louise Chamberlain Stahn, Xi, who by her own efforts and the untiring assistance of K. Courtenay Johnston, Pi, succeeded on Oct. 19, 1905, in send- ing to the press the first Tri Delta Song Book. The volume is bound in blue cloth and bears its title in gold, "Songs of Delta Delta Delta." The only ornamentation is a fac : simile of the Stars and Crescent, also in gold. The volume is divided into seven parts, Initiation Songs, Em- blem Songs, Songs of Loyalty and Endeavor, In Lighter Vein, Songs of Friendship, Farewell Songs, Reunion Songs. There are forty-seven songs in all. Only those were selected for this volume in which both music and words were deemed suitable and in nearly every case the full score of music for voice and piano has been printed. 74 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA.

CONVENTIONS OF DELTA DELTA DELTA National The first inter-chapter conference of Delta Delta Delta wa.j held with Alpha Chapter in Boston, April 20th, 1891. The de- liberating body consisted of the active Alpha Chapter and dele- gates, Edith Noon, of Delta, and Bessie M. Leach, of Gamma. The publication of the Trident was the important thing provided for at this time. Emily Frances Allen (Alpha) was elected Ed- itor-in-Chief and the business management of the magazine was placed with Alpha Chapter. FIRST NATIONAL CONVENTION, The First National Convention of Delta Delta Delta was called by Grand Chapter Alpha, to meet with Epsilon Chapter, at Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois, May 24-26, 1893. Up to this time Alpha Chapter had managed the affairs of the national fraternity under the supervision of a Grand President, Sarah Ida Shaw. Looking backward now this first Convention looks like a small beginning but it was an effective one. But four of the eight chapters were represented but so many of the Epsilon Alumnae were in attendance that something over forty Tri Del- tas were present at the sessions. Bessie M. Leach, of Gamma, had been deputized as presiding officer, and Patsie Ingersoll, of Epsilon, was elected Secretary. The Convention revised the constitution, revised and elab- orated both' the pledging or Trident Degree, the Second or Stars and Crescent Degree, and provided a place for its Alumnae Al- liances already forming, also officially authorized the "Alumnae Obligation or Degree" to be used as prepared by the founders, and this is now known as the Third or Circle Degree. The Al- umnae work was placed in the hands of Alpha Alumnae Alliance. Besides the election of the first grand council and discus- sions on cuts, badges, etc., a convention system was arranged to consist of a National Convention to be held once in three years, (76) FIRST NATIONAL CONVENTION. 77 beginning with 1894, and an annual Province Convention system. A tax was levied for the support of the Trident and the man- agement of the same commended. The charter of Delta Chapter was surrendered, the name of Delta Deuteron changed to Delta, and the Delta list affil- iated with the Delta Deuteron roll. (The change in the nam- ing system was again confirmed by the Third Convention.) This convention authorized the call for the Second National Convention, to be held with Beta in 1894. REPRESENTATION.

The ball was the event of the convention and its being the 78 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. first, it seems that the following quaint description from a local Galesburg paper will perhaps be interesting and amusing. PAN-HELLENIC RECEPTION. Brilliant Display of Costumes by Those in Attendance. The most elaborate social event of the season in fraternity circles was the reception held last evening in the Armory Hall. Delegates are here attending the National Convention of the Tri Delta sorosis. All the fra- ternities of the college had been invited to the reception by the Epsilon Chapter of Knox, and showed their appreciation of the courtesy extended to them by their general attendance. The guests were received and most heartily welcomed by the following committee of Tri Deltas : Miss Greig, wearing yellow silk dress with lilies of the valley. Miss Wylie, gray and white silk. Miss Matteson, moon-on-the-lake silk. Miss Eveleth, gray crepe with red roses. Miss Berry, green brocade silk with pink roses. Miss Leach, white satin. The guests began to assemble shortly after 8 o'clock and soon the company numbered one hundred and fifty rich and handsomely dressed young people. Besides the members of the different fraternities here there were, present Mr. and Mrs. Parley Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. John Comstock, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Ayers, Dr. and Mrs. Aldrich, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Parry, Mrs. George Perrin, Mrs. Asa Matteson, Mrs. Leroy Marsh, Mrs. Alden Marsh, Mrs. Egan, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Matteson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Matteson, Dr. W. E. Simonds, Prof. Pratt, Miss Florence Lee, Mr. Mack Tanner, of Chicago, Mr. Weir, of Cambridge. After spending a time in getting acquainted and in conversation, a short dance programme was announced, and those who are lovers of that amusement found ample opportunity for enjoyment in the waltz and other fancy steps of the dance. Frappe was served from one corner of the hall. The music was furnished by the Ideal Orchestra of this city, and was all that any one could wish, their playing delighting the entire company. There was noticed in a prominent part of the hall a beautiful bou- quet of roses tied with the Tri Delta colors, the gift of the Phi Delta Theta boys of the college. The dancing closed about 1 o'clock, and the guests prepared to leave all congratulating the Tri Deltas for the royal treatment and general good time they had made it possible for their friends to enjoy on that long to be remembered occasion. The delegates left this morning and there were a large number of the Tri Deltas and other friends at the depot to bid the visiting delegates good bye. SECOND NATIONAL CONVENTION. The second National Convention of Delta Delta Delta as- sembled in the Chapter rooms of Beta Chapter at St. Lawrence University, Canton, N. Y., Oct. 18th, 1894. In the absence of the Grand President, Grand Secretary Charlotte E. Joslin called the meeting to order and organization was effected by electing SECOND NATIONAL CONVENTION. 79 Charlotte E. Joslin, chairman, and Emily F. Allen, (Editor of Trident) Secretary pro tern. In addition to the usual convention work on Ritual, Consti- tutions, song - book, jewelers, chapter reports, grand council, etc., under Chapter Extension, petitions were received from the Uni- versity of Michigan and the University of Nebraska, and discus- sions held on matters pending at Syracuse, Northwestern, Mid- dlebury and Wesleyan Colleges. The management of the Trident was continued and an ap- portionment of its support placed on the Chapters. Alpha Alum- nse Alliance reported the work accomplished and the strong ap- proval df the convention given to this line of effort. Next con- vention appointed with Theta, 1897. Representation still not being full, an effort was made to remedy this before the next Convention by an active member tax to equalize Chapter delegate expenses. Grand Council work remained as before a matter of personal sacrifice. REPRESENTATION. VOTING DELEGATES. Alpha Clara Adams. Eta Mattie Spafford. Alpha Alliance. ..Emily F. Allen.

The third Convention of Delta Delta Delta was held with Theta Chapter, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, for Aug. 24-27, 1897. It met in the Medical Building, the Grand President, Dr. Caroline Edgar, presiding. In addition to the routine work taken up at former conventions, a uniform pledge pin was pro- vided, the Installation Service for Convention use was put in the hands of Emily F. Allen and the post-initiation lecture in the hands of Sarah Ida Shaw Martin. The revised Constitution was ordered printed. The Alumnse Alliance delegates were given the right to vote, the delegates at large the rights of the floor. The financial system was strengthened. Under Chap- ter Extension, the petitions from the Universities of Arkansas and Indiana were denied. Annual memorial services were insti- tuted. The excellent management of the Trident was grate- fully recognized. The invitation of Zeta for 1900 Convention was accepted. The treasurer's report showed a deficit of but eight cents for the past three years. The Committee on Credentials reported every Chapter and Alliance represented and five Grand Officers present.

The Fourth National Convention of Delta Delta Delta was held with Zeta at the University of Cincinnati, June 26-29, 1900. Besides the usual convention business perhaps the most rad- ical measure was the abolition of the Province Convention Sys- tem and the provision for Bi-ennial National Conventions. Under Chapter Extension work, Iota was allowed to sur- render her charter and the petition from Bucknell University referred by Beta Province was denied. The presentation of an Entertainment Fund to the enter- taining chapter was begun. The list of Grand Officers with allowed expense accounts increased. Upon Miss Allen's insis- tence upon resigning her position, the management of the Tri~ 82 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. dent and its Editorial Board was assigned Zeta. A public ap- preciation of her nine years of labor was made. She turned over to the new board a perfected and self-sustaining magazine with a treasury balance of more than one hundred dollars. The Alumnae Alliances here held first separated sessions at a National Convention. Iota Circle was established. The invitation of Alpha for 1902 Convention was accepted. REPRESENTATION.

SIXTH NATIONAL CONVENTION. The Sixth National Convention of Delta Delta Delta was held with Epsilon Chapter, Whiting Hall, Knox College, Gales- burg, Illinois, June 23-27, 1904. Grand President Sara Bartlett Hayes was called away by telegram almost immediately upon arrival. The Grand Vice President of Gamma Province, Louise Robinson Rhodes, was presiding officer. SIXTH NATIONAL CONVENTION. 85 Besides the customary Convention and Inter-Sorority work, a few new steps were taken. The office of Visiting Delegate was created. Work on the eligibility of under-graduates of different courses was taken up. Provision was made for a Cer- tificate of Initiation. The scope of fraternity examinations was extended, questions on other sororities being added. The his- tory was ordered published in 1905 and every ten years there- after. An Executive Committee was formed within the Grand Council. Petitions pending before the Grand Council from the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, the University of Iowa and the Univer- sity of Mississippi were submitted and granted. Several others had been negatively disposed of before Convention. Model Initiation Rites were conferred upon petitioner, Ola Price, now of Chi, and petitioner Valborg Kastman of Phi, be- fore the Convention. The invitation of Omicron for 1906 was accepted.

The installation of newly elected officers present occurred just before the banquet. SEVENTH NATIONAL CONVENTION. The Seventh National Convention of Delta Delta Delta was "held with Omicron Chapter, Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y., June 25-29, 1906. " The regular opening session of the under-graduate section occurred at 2 p. m., Tuesday, June 26, in Crouse College Chapel. The Grand President, Elizabeth Tumbleson Leutscher, of Xi, being unable to attend on account of her continued illness, the Grand Vice-President of Alpha Province, Carolyn Spencer, Omicron, presided over the Convention. A prayer by Lyla Johnston, of Omicron, and a welcome by Mary Mott, Ex-Presi- dent of Omicron, preceded the formal work of the session. Greetings were exchanged by telegram with Chi Omega and Pi Beta Phi, also in convention assembled. Reports from Grand Officers, Alliance Officers, Visiting Del- egate, and of the Delegate to Fifth Inter-Sorority Con- ference were very complete and aroused unusual interest. The Chapter reports were made on uniform blank forms and were very satisfactory. Designs for flags and coat of arms were adopted. Work was done on Cut, Certificate of Membership, and Song Book Report. Also matters in regard to initiation ceremonies, affiliation of transfers, dates of collecting dues and eligibility of students in various special courses were considered and decided. Uniform reports and uniform chapter record books were ordered. Provisions were made for two examina- tions during a student's college course. Plans for a Fraternity Endowment Fund were formulated and adopted. Chapter en- dowment plans were outlined. Stipulations were made for the 88 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. collecting and preserving of complete Trident files by each chapter and also recommendations for the presentation to the chapter of the badges of deceased members. The publication of a private bulletin, (The Triton), the his- tory of the fraternity, and a complete catalogue were ordered. The Committee on Constitution was : Mary McKay, Sigma ; Christine Jansson Howard, Alpha; Rena Handy, Upsilon. Both the committee and the convention accomplished hard and im- portant work. Among the important changes effected were: Radical changes made in the method of granting charters, the creation of a salary for the Editor-in-Chief of the Trident, and the ad- dition of a tenth officer to the Grand Council — a Supervisor of Alliances.

The informality of college and fraternity songs and calls was a most enjoyable close to the brilliant scene.

These Conventions have not only increased in size and vol- ume of business transacted and brilliancy of social functions, but they have been a large formative force in the systematizing and the forming of working policies. Each convention has also been an education to every Chapter and an especial advantage to the entertaining Chapter, as evi- denced without exception in that Chapter's post convention de- velopment. The decorations in honor of these conventions have been features pleasant to remember. The convention halls have been gay with flags and banners of the various colleges and Chapters, while remembrances by flower, letter and telegram 'from other fraternities have made the day sessions pleasant. At the social events, the green of the palms, the brilliancy and odor of count- less tropical blooms and the emblazonment everywhere of gold, silver and blue amid hundreds of incandescent lights that threw their radiance over girls fair of feature and dainty of gown, have left in memory's picture a vision of youth and beauty. At Cincinnati, the citizens everywhere seemed to know of the Convention and hardly a window in the town but had beau- tiful figures or emblems in which the colors of Delta Delta Delta predominated or reproduced by various conceits of fancy or skill the tokens and emblems. Here, too, the banquet hall was large enough for the hundred guests to be seated at a triangular ban- quet table. At both the convention balls' of 1900 and 1904 im- mense groupings of incandescent lights in the form of the Stars and Crescent gave forth a dazzling brilliancy. Boston, Gales- burg and Syracuse also repeated messages of "Welcome" with banner, colors and light. In memory, these scenes are lived full oft again, "full of 92 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. youth of spirit, with the benediction of the last song lingering in the air." National Alumnae Alliance Sessions The First Alumnae Alliance Session was called to meet at the same date and place as the Second Beta Province Conven- tion, Galesburg, 111., Sept. 6-8, 1898. y REPRESENTATION. Alpha Alliance Bertha Bartlett Chicago Alliance Martha (Barden) Cole Gamma Alliance Katherine (Spahr) Hull Epsilon Alliance Alta (Marsh) Phillips Zeta Alliance Lucy Lambdin All Alliances in existence at this time, excepting Sigma, were represented. The alliance ritual and by-laws received the most of the work. It was voted that the Grand Officers of the fraternity be also the Grand Officers of the Alliance Section. It was voted to allow membership to ex-members of college Chapters after the year of their class graduation. The Second Alumnae Alliance Session was called for 1900, with the Fourth National Convention. Second Alumnae Alliance Session held on Tuesday, June 26, 1900, in the Auditorium of the Grand Hotel, Cincinnati, O. All Alliances excepting Sigma and Lambda represented. Reports of Alliances were given. Committees on Ritual Con- stitution work reported and their work was accepted. The remainder of the work was advisory to general conven- tion work. Third Alumnae Alliance Session held in College Club Rooms, Boston, Mass., Thursday, June 26, 1902. Delegates from nine Alliances reported to roll call, all but Epsilon being represented. Besides the usual work, the Circle Degree was conferred up- on seven candidates representing five Chapters, that they might begin the organization of new Alliances. An Alliance committee drew up suggestions for the improvement of the Trident. Fourth Alumnae Alliance Session held at Galesburg, 111., Wednesday, June 23, 1904. Ten Alliances were represented. The work of the advisory committee was enlarged and the PROVINCE CONVENTIONS. 93 usual routine work accomplished. The matter of more Alliances was thoroughly investigated. , The Fifth Alumnae Alliance Session was held at Syracuse, N. Y., on Tuesday, June 26, 1906, at 9 :30 a. m., in Crouse Col- lege Chapel. Nine Alliances were officially represented and Alumnae and ex-members were in attendance from sixteen dif- ferent Chapters. The principal matters passed upon were the advisability of an Alliance officer on the Grand Council, the attitude of Alliances on Chapter extension questions, and the elaboration of the Circle Degree Ritual. Under the Model Initiation service, the Third Degree was conferred upon twelve candidates, ten of these being '06 members of Omicron Chapter. The desired provision for a tenth Grand Officer, a Supervisor of Alliances was later unani- mously made by the Convention body. N. B. — [The presiding officers of the Alliance sessions are always the same as those of the general Convention and its official delegates are those given in Convention Representation as Official Alumnae. The Alliance Session has no power to enact laws but simply to confer and deliberate, presenting its idea for the consideration of the full Convention in form of recommendations. — B. L. P.] Province Conventions Under the system of government for 1894 to 1900, Prov- ince Conventions were held in each Province in every year not having a National Convention. These were found to be delightful socially, productive of much fraternity zeal and enthusiasm, and invaluable in getting the Chapters acquainted, but as they consumed much of time, en- ergy and money, and as the growth of the general fraternity de- manded more frequent conventions with full legislative power, the system was abandoned after 1900. Those held were really miniatures of the National Conven- tions and had fine representation and enjoyable social events. The Grand Vice Presidents of those Provinces in session were ex-officio the presiding officers of these conventions. Active and Alumnae members of the Chapters entertaining produced an average working body of thirty to forty members and these un- official delegates had all the rights of the floor but voting. In all of these Province Conventions matters of interest to the locality were considered, plans for Trident and General 94 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. Conventions discussed, petitions for charters received and inves- tigated and literary programs held, where specially prepared papers on topics of fraternity interest were given from each Chapter. A- reception opened each of them and some formal party or banquet closed them. Minor social events and sight seeing in the various college towns, also many evidences of courtesy from the various chapters of other fraternities are recorded in all of the reports.

It was held voluntarily by the Province itself, show- ing commendable zeal and enthusiasm. It was also, being called unofficially after an interim of seven years, an index to a quite prevalent feeling in the sorority that the abandoned idea of Prov- ince conventions had been a desirable feature. Its work was of course unofficial but very helpful to the fraternity and to the Seventh National Convention.

INTER-SORORITY EVENTS Pan-Hellenic Movements The history of Pan-Hellenism in the Greek letter world may be written in very small space, and strangely enough, notwith- standing the prevailing impression about the ability of women to work in harmony, by far the greater part of Pan-Hellenic history must be written from the feminine view point. Beta Theta Pi was the first fraternity to take steps toward the formation of a Pan-Hellenic Council and in 1881 adopted a resolution that caused an agitation of the question in several of the journals of the leading men's fraternities. Notwithstanding violent opposition in many quarters, the editors of the Beta Theta Pi issued circulars Jan. 13, 1883, proposing a conference, "a purely informal meeting." That inveterate fraternity worker and eminent authority on fraternity history, Walter B. Palmer, whom those who were fortunate enough to have attended the World's Fair Pan-Hellenic Congress will remember to have heard and met, says in his History of Phi Delta Theta : "At the Colonnade Hotel, Philadelphia, Pa., February 22, 1883, a meet- ing was held by 21 representatives of thirteen fraternities (A T O, B © n, A K E, $ T A, * A 0, 3> K *, 2 X, Z *, A T A, A $, $ K 2, * Y, and 2 A E), and 21 other frater- nity men (present as unofficial representatives). It was decided that there should be a 'Pan-Hellenic Conference at New York, July 4, 1884, provided ten fraternities should by Jan. 1, signify their intention of participating.' Those present who were editors of fraternity journals formed the 'Inter-Fraternity Press Asso- ciation.' This meeting at Philadelphia was the first general in- ter-fraternity meeting ever held. The Pan-Hellenic Conference never materialized, and the Inter-Fraternity Press Association did not meet again." He gives a brief outline of the World's Fair Pan-Hellenic Movement, in 1893, which, by the way, was the first joint Pan-Hellenic Conference of Men's and Women's Fraternities. Then later he says, "November 18, 1895, was set (97) 98 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. apart as Fraternity Day, at the Cotton States and Inter-national Exposition, Atlanta, Ga. About three hundred Greeks met in the Auditorium Building, where W. W. Da vies (<£ A ®), Chair- man of the Executive Committee, called them to order. The American Hellenic Society was formed, though its objects were not definitely expressed. It was decided that the society should be represented at the Olympic Games, to be held at Athens, Greece, April, 1896, and there was talk of offering a laurel wreath to one of the victors, but these plans were not carried out." As the women's fraternities were not a party to this Ameri- can Pan-Hellenic Society, then formed, and as no reports of its work have been given to the press, definite information of its subsequent proceedings can not be here given, but it is safe to state that no one has met anywhere, at any time, any athletes running at large, crowned with the above mentioned laurel wreaths. William Raymond Baird (B © n) in his Manual of Ameri- can College Fraternities, recites under "Pan-Hellenism," the first two of the above attempts, then enumerates the advantages that might be gained by a general Pan-Hellenic organization and the difficulties that confront attempts in that direction. The his- tory of this movement among women's fraternities he both de- scribes and dismisses with the following sentence : "The women's societies have effected an organization which has held several meetings and seems to possess some elements of permanence.'' Thus it has been left for Delta Delta Delta, it would seem. to collect, compile and for the first time to publish a brief record of a Pan-Hellenic movement among the Greek Letter Societies of American College women, which began in 1891 with the First Woman's Pan-Hellenic Convention, received an impetus from the World's Fair Pan-Hellenic Congress (1893) and was offi- cially revived in 1902, as the First Inter-Sorority Conference. Since that date, annual sessions have been held, the reports of the Fifth, 1906, recording an increasing scope, authority and in- terest in these sessions. Inter-Sorority Events Woman's First Pan-Hellenic Convention. The first Pan-Hellenic Convention of Woman's Fraterni- . INTER-SORORITY EVENTS. 99 ties was called by Kappa Kappa Gamma to meet with her Boston University Chapter, April 15-17, 1891. Lucy Evelyn Wight (K K r), was elected presiding officer and Emma Harper Turner (II B <£) secretary. Six sororities were represented by three delegates each. Delta Delta Delta was represented by Blanche Seaver, of Alpha, Bessie M. Leach, of Gamma, and Edith Noon, of Delta. Committees on Inter-Fraternity Courtesy, Fraternity Jewel- ry and Stationery, World's Fair, Greek Journalism, and Inter- Chapter Courtesy were appointed, their reports discussed and adopted as amended. These adopted reports formed the recom- mendations of this Convention and as no provision had been made for any resolution to be binding upon the bodies represent- ed, the whole work effected was little more than paving the way for the Inter- Sorority Conferences which have followed after an interim of more than ten years. The Woman's Pan-Hellenic Committee for the World's Fair was finally merged for work in the joint committee of the Men's and Women's Fraternities, known as "The Columbian Exposition Committee on Pan-Hellenism of the American Greek Letter College Fraternities," of which Richard Lee Fearn (B n) was chairman. A standing committee on Pan-Hellenism was appointed : Austiana E. Taylor — Alpha Phi. Bertha Reed — Delta Gamma. Bessie M. Leach — Delta Delta Delta. Margaret Smith — Kappa Alphi Theta. Lucy E. Wight — Kappa Kap-ia Gamma. Emma Harper Turner — Pi Beta Phi. This committee did little work after 1894. Many pretty social events characterized this convention. (See Trident, Vol. I, No. 1). World's Fair Pan-Hellenic Movements The Columbian Exposition Committee on Pan-Hellenism held four or five meetings in the Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, and an attempt was made for an exhibit of the American College Greek Letter Fraternities in a space thought to be secured but the plan did not materialize. A Fraternity Congress was how- ever arranged. (See Trident, Vol. II, -No. 2). 100 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. The American Greek Letter College Fraternity Congress of the World's Fair Congresses was held in the hall of Columbus, in the Art Palace, Lake Front, Chicago, July 19-20, 1893. Delta Delta Delta was represented by Charlotte E. Joslin, Margaret Emerson, Grace Ayres and Grace Gallison, of Alpha, and Bessie M. Leach, of Gamma. Richard Lee Fearn, B n, was presiding officer. The paper assigned Delta Delta Delta was "Social and Po- litical Life in Universities and Colleges" and was presented by Bessie M. Leach, Gamma. Wednesday morning the program was given by the Men's Fraternities, Wednesday afternoon by the Greek Journalists, and Thursday morning by the seven Women's Fraternities repres- ented. Thursday afternoon, at two o'clock, occurred "The Frater- nity and Sorority Reception" in the New York State Building, and here Tri-Delta ranks were swelled by finding four girls from Epsilon and one from Zeta. One hundred plates were laid for Greek Letter Fraternity officers, committee members, speakers and journalists at a banquet in the evening. (See Trident, Vol. Ill, Nos. 1 and 2). First Inter-Sorority Conference The first Inter-Sorority Conference was called by Alpha Phi for May 24, 1902, and was held in the Memorial Building, Chi- cago. REPRESENTATION.

Delta Delta Delta Miss Ivy Kellerman (Nu). Alpha Phi Miss Minnie Ruth Terry. Mrs. Norton (K A ©) was elected chairman and Miss Terry (A $) secretary. A set of six motions to be used in framing by-laws for a permanent organization was adopted and three "sentiments on rushing, pledge day and lifting" recorded by unanimous vote. INTER-SORORITY CONFERENCES. 101 Provisions were made for annual conferences to be called by the sororities in rotation. (See Trident, Vol. XI, No. 4). Second Inter-Sorority Conference The Second Inter- Sorority Conference met with Gamma Phi Beta in St. Louis, Sept. 1903. REPRESENTATION. Pi Beta Phi Elizabeth Gamble.

Reports on motions : 1. Pledge Day ; 2. Fixing the Date of Pledge Day; 3. Pan-Hellenic Associations; 4. Pledging be- fore Matriculation, were heard and motions 3 and 4 carried. Motions 1 and 2 had so large a vote that they were again submit- ted. Reports from each sorority were called for on Pan-Hellenic Associations in their colleges. Delta Delta Delta presented a very creditable report on the Pan-Hellenic Association at the Baltimore Woman's College, through Sara L. M. Johnson (Xi). (See Trident, Vol. XII, No. 2; Vol. XIII, No. 3.) Third Inter-Sorority Conference The Third Inter-Sorority Conference was called by Delta Gamma, Sept. 16-17, 1904, at Chicago.

The above rotation order was arranged and Miss Grace Telling (A T) made chairman, and Miss Amy H. Olgen (AAA) secretary. Arrangements were made for official organization by rota- tion. Motions 1 and 2 having again failed to pass were re-submit- ted. The report of Mrs. E. Jean Nelson Penfield (K K r) Chair- man Social Service Committee, which had been submitted to their Seventeenth Convention, was called for here, read and discussed. The Conference then adopted three motions as a foundation for "Inter-Sorority Social Service Work in our Educational In- stitutions" and elected a standing committee to have this work in charge. This third Conference issued printed reports, a Sorority Table and the Committee on Social Customs has printed a very full report. (See Trident, Vol. XIV, No. 1). Fourth Inter-Sorority Conference The Fourth Inter-Sorority Conference was called by Delta Delta Delta, in Chicago, at the Victoria Hotel, Sept. 15-16, 1905. REPRESENTATION.

Petitions were received from five sororities seeking admis- sion to the Conference but none were granted on account of the adoption of the following regulations : 1. No Sorority with less than five chapters shall be admit- ted. 2. No Sorority with a Chapter in a school below collegiate rank shall be admitted. A constitution was presented and it was moved to submit the same to the Grand President of each sorority. Discussions on rules of bidding, rushing and the breaking of the same followed, and then the printed reports of the Social Service Committee were taken up and an additional one made on the co-operation to be expected from the men's fraternities in this work. Four resolutions on this work were adopted. Reports of Pan-Hellenic Associations were given. Printed reports of the Fourth Conference have also been issued. (See Trident, Vol. XV, No. 1). Fifth Inter-Sorority Conference The Fifth Inter- Sorority Conference was called by Alpha Xi Delta at the Victoria Hotel, Chicago, Friday afternoon, Sep- tember 14, 1906. REPRESENTATION.

Mrs. Robert Leib, A S A, Chairman. Miss Jobelle Holcombe, X O, Secretary. The wide distribution of and interest in the printed reports 104 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. of the Fourth Conference were reported. During the year the secretary reported that work had been done on the Woman's So- cial Service League. The report of the Fourth Inter-Sorority Conference delegates, who had been invited to convene and con- fer with the Conference of the Deans of Women in the State In- stitutions held in December, 1905, in Chicago, was taken up. A petition for investigation of local conditions at Wisconsin University, (Madison), from the Pan-Hellenic Association there had been received and granted. Reports were then read from each sorority represented. Mrs. Tennant, of Alpha Chi Omega, was appointed a committee of one to correspond with the visiting delegates of the various sororities. The report of the representative committee sent to Madison, Wis., was given by Mrs. Amy Olgen Parmelee (A A A) and the requests of that local Pan-Hellenic Association and those com- ing from other schools were then received and passed upon. It was moved and carried that sororities in High Schools and other secondary schools should be discountenanced, and it was recommended that after four years from date of notification by Grand Presidents, each sorority in the Inter- Sorority Conference refuse to admit any young woman who has been a member of a sorority in a High School or secondary school. CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS. A model Constitution was drafted and again presented to the Grand Presidents of the various sororities for consideration before the next conference. The former Constitution submit- ted had been unconditionally approved by all but two soror ities. A model Constitution for local Pan-Hellenic association was adopted and ordered printed for distribution as follows: CONSTITUTION. ARTICLE I. The name of this organization shall be the Pan-Hellenic Association of the ARTICLE II. This Pan-Hellenic shall : 1. Fix the date of pledge day. 2. Regulate the rules for rushing.

These By-Laws may be amended by the unanimous vote of the Pan-Hellenic. Besides the model constitution and printed reports of the Fifth Conference, there emanated from the Inter- Sorority Conference management a pamphlet report on the joint meeting of Deans and Advisers of Women in State Universities and Representa- tives of the Inter- Sorority Conference. This report takes up the following lines: I. High School Sororities. II. Cutting classes and Poor Work. III. Increased expenditure. , 106 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. IV. Attitude of Sorority girls to Non-Fraternity Men. V. Attitude of girls to men whose conduct could justly be criticised. VI. Cheating. The three recommendations of the Fourth Conference and the four of the Fifth Conference were again emphasized. Work was done on the matter of official badges. The Conference adjourned to meet September, 1907. (See Trident, Vol. XVI, No. 1). In closing this chapter on Inter-Sorority work, a few ex- tracts from the report made at the Syracuse Convention by Tri- Delta's Delegate to the Fifth Inter-Sorority Conference are ap- pended. As Miss Olgen was AAA delegate to the Third, Fourth and Fifth Conferences, was secretary of the Third, chairman of the Fourth, a member of the Madison I. S. C. Committee report- ing to the Fifth, and was Grand Secretary of Delta Delta Delta for 1904-1906 and elected Grand President for 1906-1908, by the Seventh National Convention, it is thought that no more authoritative summary will be needed. "Whatever may or may not have been accomplished at the Fifth Inter-Sorority Conference, held in Chicago, September 14- 15, 1906, the very fact that the conference did meet then for the fifth consecutive year, was a source of gratification to many of the delegates who have been privileged to attend all the meetings and who have had a part in this big movement from the small beginnings of earlier years. When such a project as the Inter- Sorority Conference was an experiment, both to ourselves and to the entire Greek world, masculine and feminine, we were granted by the masculine half or three-fourths of that world, five years, at the longest, in which to prove beyond shadow of doubt that there could be no inter-fraternal relationship on any basis. Those who scoffed at first, remained to study and finally to imitate, and now we hear of local Pan-Hellenics among the men and some talk of a similar national organization. To the women most interested, it did not take more than one year, or at most two, to prove the experiment a success, nor long er than that for the fraternities most interested to determine to perpetuate the movement. The genuine and abiding interest in the Inter-Sorority Conference is evident in the fact that a number SUMMARY OF INTER-SORORITY WORK. 107 of delegates have attended every conference thus far held, and that the delegates are now almost without exception members of Grand Councils and Executive Boards, a number of them being the chief executives in their respective organizations. The Fifth Conference was important in that it framed a con- stitution which is to be approved at the next conference. This is only a simple working constitution but it is important in that it settles many disputed points and defines clearly the object and powers of the conference. Much good has been accomplished by the Inter-Sorority Con- ference, but there is room for much more work and there is no reason why future conferences should not continue to do even more. The object of the Inter-Sorority Conference is so broad that it opens up a big field of work. The primary object has been and is to improve methods of rushing and pledging. None have felt the evils in rushing and pledging more keenly than so- rority members themselves ; none have suffered from them so se- verely as the members themselves. The colleges and universities where such evils are unknown or have been reduced to a mini- mum are few and far between. Certain evils have been entirely up- rooted. No pledging before matriculation is now done at any college or university where two or more nationals exist. There are two exceptions now, but it is expected that these two will very soon conform to the general rule. In these same institu- tions there exist local Pan-Hellenic Associations which fix the definite date of pledging after matriculation, and in nearly every case, rules have been adopted which have limited or actually done away with rushing. It is hoped that in time the present primary object may be- come secondary, and the entire time and attention of both Inter- Sorority Conference and local Pan-Hellenics, be centered on the many other problems of sorority life. Many different activities of the Inter- Sorority Conference are classed under the head of "Social Service Work." Sorority problems are not problems confined to the organizations as such. They are co-existant with many general educational problems. Sororities owe their very existence to co-education. Almost without exception, sororities were born in co-educational institu- tions. By far the greater number of chapters, and usually the strongest chapters, are located in co-educational colleges and uni- 108 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. versities. If co-education is still on trial, then the life of soror- ities is not assured. Whatever problems co-education presents, must necessarily become sorority problems. For selfish reasons alone, then, we must help to make co-education permanent and assured and more general than at present. But we are working for philanthropic reasons also, because we believe firmly that as organized bodies, we have more or less power to aid in any movement for good, and we believe that in some cases, certain desired results can be obtained through such organizations as ours, and through such only. Many problems of education, from the woman's side, have already been made the subject of much discussion. Committees have been steadily at work on such questions as "adequate dormitory facilities," "value of sorority houses," "rules and regulations governing same," "need of Dean of Women in every co-educational institution," "high standard of scholarship," "adequate but uniformly democratic social life for all," "limitation of excessive expenditure on social func- tions" — and most important of all — "college ethics and morals." But the , field of activity has not been confined to higher education only. Leaders of secondary education are facing a serious problem in the High School fraternity and sorority. Magazines and newspapers are full of agitation. Litigation has resulted in many places. Whole communities have been stirred. The Inter- Sorority Conference has considered this question and finds a remedy in .the proposed motion now before the national organizations : Resolved, That the Sororities in High and other secondary schools be discountenanced, and that four years from date of no- tification by Grand Presidents, each Sorority in the Inter-Sorority Conference refuse to admit any young woman who has been a member of a sorority (any secret society) in any high or sec- ondary school." If this motion is carried, there can be no more speedy and effective method of absolutely crushing the High School sorority. If the fraternities will then do likewise; this problem will be eas- ily solved. So far Delta Delta Delta has taken an active part in the In- ter-Sorority Conference. Both Council and Chapters, Active and Alliance, have uniformly supported the most progressive resolu- tions and recommendations proposed by the Conference, and SUMMARY OF INTER-SORORITY WORK. 109 have readily voted in favor of all proposed legislation. Chapter reports show a deep and intelligent interest in Inter-Sorority matters and the majority of Chapters have taken a strong initia- tive in the local Pan-Hellenics. The magazine, The Trident, devotes considerable space each issue to matters of Inter-Soror- ity interest and the editorial policy is to support and advance the movement in every possible way. The Grand Council is united in insisting upon the absolute enforcement in spirit and in letter o'f all Inter-Sorority conference legislation. . Amy H. Olgen. CHAPTER HISTORIES General Notes The major portion of the history of any fraternity must be the history of its individual chapters and again of its individual members. Lack of space limits the writing of this real history. But leaders have been attempted. All the Chapters report many so- cial events of the rushing season. "Let not the student idea be put into the back-ground by social ambitions," might be a watch word for inter-sorority work. Fraternity or Founder's Day and Chapter Day are two reg- ular celebrations provided for every Chapter by the Constitution. Not many years have elapsed in which to attain post-gradu- ate distinction and but little has been attempted in gathering such statistics. A large percentage of Tri Delta graduates are found enrolled in the home circles of the land as wives and mothers. Perhaps to them in one sense has come the greater opportunity. The majority of these are still students, fraternity workers, Wom- an's Club workers, and anxious guards of the American public school system. Almost the entire remaining list of graduates are teachers in some line, public or private, excepting the few whose profes- sions are given. Who shall say how great the work of the teacher or how large the awaiting reward? Something of the growth of Tri Delta may be appreciated when one glances at the annals of the Conventions of 1893 and 1894 and then remembers that a recent Trident article (Vol. 14, No. 1) stated that at the Y. W. C. A. Student Conference, at Lake Geneva, Wis., Sept. 1-12, 1904, eight Tri Deltas were pres- ent representing six different Chapters in five different states. This was the largest representation of any sorority. Each sub- sequent student's conference has reported meetings of various numbers of members from widely scattered Chapters and hardly a Trident but records the accidental acquaintances made through (110) CHAPTER HISTORIES GENERAL NOTES. Ill meeting wearers of the Stars and Crescent. Interlaken, Switz- erland, the Alps and Pike's Peak were among some of the more recent meeting places. It is interesting to note that the first chance meeting recorded was between representatives of Alpha and Gamma, (Bertha Gardner and Matie T rumble) under the great dome of the National Capitol, Washington, in July, 1891. (See Trident, Vol. 1, No. 1.) At the Pan-Hellenic banquet, held at Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 26, 1906, out of the ninety-seven fraternity women present, rep- resenting eight Sororities, ( Kappa Alpha Theta. Aloha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Xi Delta, Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Delta Gamma), eighteen were Tri-Deltas, representing four chapters, Delta, Phi, Epsilon and Kappa. At the World's Fair Pan-Hellenic reception and banquet (1893), ten Tri Deltas met, representing four Chapters, Alpha, Epsilon, Gamma and Zeta. Fifteen Tri Deltas met at the St. Louis Fair, 1904 (June 26). Many inter-chapter parties, chapter house par- ties and excursions have been enjoyed. It will of course be realized that in compiling Chapter his- tories, inaccuracies and omissions must of necessity occur. The manner of keeping records and of reporting the same have in the past varied so much in the different Chapters and the honor cus- tom in voge is so different in the various schools that each report must be considered a separate unit. Nevertheless something of computation, inaccurate though it may be, is interesting. The lists record ninety members of Phi Beta Kappa, in Delta Delta Delta. (Kappa Alpha Theta founded in 1.870, reports but ninety-six in Baird's Manual). But fourteen of the Chapters are in institutions conferring this honor and two of them have given it but a short time. In one of the Chapters carrying a small membership, Sigma, fifteen girls have won the key. Over eight hundred honors and positions in college are reported, with the majority of the Chapters reporting only those of greatest significance and one hundred and fifty names have recorded with them something of Post Graduate distinction, although prior to last year nothing had been done by the Chapters in collecting or filing such data. Much that was of interest in local Chapter life was necessar- ily abridged or omitted. Every Chapter meeting other Nationals reports Pan-Hellenic Associations, a few Faculty Pledge Days. 112 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA, A close and commendable guard over the scholarship and general college standing of the members is in evidence in every record. If the past is a true index to the future, the next historian of Delta Delta Delta will be able to compile a brilliant report of that which these years of growth and preparation have made it possible to achieve. Only those students are eligible for active membership in any of the Chapters of Delta Delta Delta who are candidates for the regular degrees (A. B., Ph. B., B. L. and B. S. or their su- perior degrees) or are specials who are taking ten hours a week in work leading to those degrees or are students in the College departments of Engineering, Domestic Science, Art, Music, Oratory, Law, Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy, who are tak- ing three or four year courses leading to degrees or certificates where the entrance requirements are equivalent to those for en- trance upon a regular college course. CHAPTER HISTORIES Alpha Organization. Alpha Chapter was founded at the University of Boston, Boston, Mass., on Thanksgiving Eve., November 28, 1888, by two Seniors, Sarah Ida Shaw and Eleanor Dorcas Pond, who soon associated with them two other Seniors, Isabelle M. Breed and Florence I. Stewart. These four, almost at once , proceeded to select a full Chapter, pledging three girls from the junior class, five sophomores, and six freshmen. Miss Shaw and Miss Pond began the revealing of the new rites to this group, in class order, on January 15, 1889. The first initiation was completed at the home of Emily F. Allen on Joy street on that evening, and on the following Monday eighteen Tri-Delta pins announced to the Greek letter world of Boston University that the rumors of a new society were based on the fact that a thoroughly organized Chapter had taken its place in their midst. The first nineteen names on the Alpha Constitution are giv- en below in the order in which they are signed, with their respec- tive classes indicated. The two names enclosed in parentheses were for some reason added after the first initiation January 15, 1889. On January 18, a special initiation was held admitting Marion K.

HONORARY MEMBERS. Mrs. Wm. E. Huntington." Mrs. Augustus H. Buck. Mrs. Borden P. Bowne Chapter Data. Regular rooms for chapter meetings are now maintained and it is the custom of non-resident students to find accommoda- tions together. Alpha Chapter entertains its Alumnae at least once a year and the Alumnae give the chapter an Annual Christ- mas spread. A Pan-Hellenic reception called Klatsch Collegium entertains them at an open meeting early in the spring, a play before the College Philomathean Society and the Annual initia- tion banquet are the regular social events of the Chapter, that take precedence over the various informal dances and parties. This year the classes are also being entertained. Besides the responsibilities and burdens of founding and ex- tending a national sorority borne so long and successfully by members of Alpha Chapter, and the Chapter as a whole, else- where recorded, one will see, by turning to publications, how for nine long years, — the first years, the hard years, an Alpha girl was Editor-in-Chief of the Trident and that with her and with Alpha Chapter rested the responsibility of its business manage- ment. To Alpha Chapter girls must be given also the honor of organizing the first Alumnae Alliance and of giving the necessary successful impetus to such a movement as to assure its adoption by the fraternity at large. Alpha Chapter also conducted itself in such a manner as to secure recognition as a national sorority, even before its first Convention, being invited in April, 1891, to CHAPTER HISTORIES — ALPHA. 115 assemble its delegation of three for representation in the Wom- an's Pan-Hellenic Convention, called by Kappa Kappa Gamma. In 1902, Alpha Chapter entertained the Fifth National Con- vention in a manner that did credit both to its record as a parent Chapter and to the beautiful places of historical and literary fame which they by virtue of location could offer the sight seeing dele- gates, when an hour could be snatched from work. Other sororities precede Delta Delta Delta in date of estab- lishment, a few in length of chapter roll but none are prouder of the rank and location of the College, where their parent chapter was founded, nor can another outrival Delta Delta Delta in the earnest steadfast purpose of the Alpha members or in the success attending their every effort.

Boston University was founded in 1869, and although non- sectarian is supported by the Methodist Episcopal Denomination. Late this spring arrangements were completed whereby the University will leave "Jacob Sleeper Hall" and will move this summer to better buildings in a much better location, but a short distance from the Public Library and Art Institute. In the Liberal Arts Department, it numbers, 1905, men stu- dents 184; women 317; faculty 30; in 190G, it numbered, in all departments, men 900, women 600.

Organization. Delta Chapter was installed in Simpson College, Indianola. la., May 10, 1889, by Etta May Budd, of Alpha. Sarah Ida Shaw and Etta May Budd inspired the local L. F. V. sororsis, existing in the college successfully since 1871 and numbering ninety-five members to apply for a charter in Delta Delta Delta. This was the second Chapter established and was known as Delta Deuteron until the First National Convention, when the system 118 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. of naming was changed and this Chapter became Delta, with the list of the former Delta Chapter affiliated. Miss Budd was at this time a member of the faculty at Simpson College. The local, having abandoned the idea of founding a national was investigating Greek letter societies with a view toward peti- tioning some one of them later, when the acquaintance of Miss Budd, of Alpha, was made and thus Tri-Delta chosen. On April 19, 1889, a pledge was signed by three members of L. F. V. for the society, Mrs. Alice Barker Berry, '72 (A. M.), Mrs. Dora Gil- ford Honnold, '75, and Miss Carrie McCausland, '89, who then received the ritual and then preceeded to initiate the others. The initiation took place at the home of Mrs. Dora Gifford Hon- nold. Charter Members. Alice Barker Berry. Minnie Thompson. Hattie Berry. Carrie McCausland. Lulu Linn. Carrie Page.

A Chapter House was maintained last year for those members not residents of In- dianola. Owing to the late pledge day this year (1907) it was thought best to give up the house this year, but plans are made to have a fine one next year. One formal party is given each term and a farewell meeting for the Seniors held the last day of Com- mencement Week. On this occasion, the officers for the ensuing year are installed. On account of the forty-five years history back of the L. F. V. Sorosis, Delta Chapter has had most valuable alumnae support. An old banner is found here of blue plush lined with silver silk, edged with silver fringe and emblazoned with a golden Delta.

While the custom was still in vogue among fraternities and sororities to initiate well known people as honorary members, Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, Lecturer and Social Service Worker, was initiated by Delta Chapter, (1891). She was recently detailed from the Department of Justice by direction of President Roose- velt to investigate the condition of woman and child workers throughout the country. A recent New York Daily has the fol- lowing to say of the appointment: "Mrs. Foster has had years of philanthropic work that peculiarly fits her for gathering just such statistics. She was among the first women in the country to study and practice law, and most of her clients were moneyless and defenseless women and children. "She has been prominent in most of the best reform movements which have engaged women's clubs and societies, and usually had charge of the work of crystallizing the sentiment into political action. "On two occasions she brought special trainloads of factory women from New England to testify before senate committees as to their wages and living conditions. "In 1900 Mrs. Foster was appointed by Secretary of State John Hay to represent the United States in the International Red Cross Conference at St. Petersburg. Last year she accompanied the Taft party to the Philippines and made a special report to President Roose- velt on the condition of women and children there. "Mrs. Foster returned from a trip around the world a few months ago, in the course of which she studied the condition of women and children in China and India." 120 history of delta delta delta.

Epsilon Organization. Epsilon Chapter was founded at Knox College, Galesburg, 111., in 1889, by transforming a local society formed in March, 1888, and known as Kappa Beta Theta, into the third Chapter of Tri-Delta. This society had been organized for the purpose of procur- ing a charter from a national and while considering the matter began correspondence with Sarah Ida Shaw through the influ- ence of mutual fraternity acquaintances. The charter was granted July 9, 1889, by the three grand officers. In August, 1889, Miss Hattie Berry, of Delta (Deuteron) Chapter, came and initiated the Chapter, that they might get their pins and arrange their plans before college opened. The initia- tion took place in Phi Gamma Delta Hall and the event was fol- lowed by a banquet. Regular organization and installation with some accompanying social events occurred at the Thanksgiving Eve following and in some way the date of the installation of Ep- silon Chapter has always been given as Thanksgiving Eve, 1889.

The college does not allow its sororities to maintain either Houses or Halls but meetings in the homes are systematically carried on and great vitality and enthusiasm is shown here and in a series of elaborate social functions given each year, includ- ing a formal ball, a reception, banquet and many minor events. The annual Thanksgiving banquet is a double celebration for this Chapter, and Upsilon, Gamma, Delta and Phi Chapters have had representatives present at this affair. The Chapter has stepped outside mere college activity and furnished one of the rooms of the Free Kindergarten Building of Galesburg and does active personal work there each week. A summary of the long honor list gives the following: There have been 137 girls initiated, 45 have been members of L. M. I., 25 of Y. W. C. A., 6 have been graduated in piano, 1 in violin, 3 in voice, and 57 from college; 19 first prizes have been won, 10 second prizes, and 70 elective offices in college or- ganizations have been held (not including class plays). There have been 62 marriages and 5 deaths in the chapter. Many Epsilon girls have been prominent in the social and literary life of Galesburg, after graduation, one year's report showing each of the four leading literary clubs of the city pre- sided over by a Tri Delta. A Chapter whose strength at home made it impossible for it to realize the struggles of a new and as yet unorganized nation- al, Epsilon received something of a shock when it invited the First National Convention to come to Galesburg and witnessed the arrival of so few delegates. Those few, however, were royally entertained and went away very proud of the Chapter that had received them. Epsilon has the unique honor of having en- tertained two National Conventions, and the numbers of the Sixth Convention must have satisfied the wildest dreamer of them all. This Convention found that the hospitality, praised of old, was still characteristic there. With Epsilon also met the First National Alumnae Alliance session, at the time of a Beta Prov- ince Convention, 1898. 122 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA.

Delta Organization. Delta Chapter was installed at Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, in June, 1890, by Etta Mae Budd, of Alpha. Miss Budd. B. S. '82, was a daughter of the Professor of Horticulture of Iowa State College and had been perfecting her education at Bos- ton University and upon her return to her home college had been elected a member of its faculty. Having given up her former idea of establishing a national fraternity and finding her old local W. D. T. disbanded, in spite of anti-fraternity disturbances, she found no difficulty in organizing a Chapter for the new national with which she had identified herself in Boston, Alpha Chapter of Delta Delta Delta. Charter Members. The following were all Senior girls who were chosen and initiated as charter members: Minnie A. Adams. Sappho Lane. Blanche M. Bradley. Minnie A. Malley. Etta M. Budd. Olivia M. Morton. Lynne Chevalier. Violet N. Quint. Carrie L. Cottrell. L. May Roddis. Mary H. Cottrell. Evelyn E. Starr. To this number were soon added: Nellie E. Dean. Eva Speer. Trident Degree — Flora Wilson. Chapter Data. It will be remembered that this College was the scene of the most violent anti-fraternity disturbances on record and that mat- ters were finally carried into the courts for adjustment, by chap- ters of the various men's fraternities. The Chapter of Delta Delta Delta remained loyal and earnest but after being forbidden to initiate more members (in 1892), discontinued its work on account of this faculty anti-fraternity legislation. It surrendered its charter to the First National Con- vention and from this time Delta Deuteron Chapter, located at Simpson College, Iowa, received the name of Delta, affiliating the former members of that Chapter. In the spring of 1906, the Editor of the Trident noticed the CHAPTER HISTORIES DELTA GAMMA. 127 names of some of this Chapter in a list of people participating in a Pan-Hellenic banquet at Waterloo, Iowa. Correspondence immediately revealed the fact that Tri Delta bonds were as strong as ever and their interest in the national fraternity great, although fate had denied them a chapter home. Fourteen mem- bers were fully initiated here and two pledged or Trident Degree members existed. Tri Delta has never counted Delta at Iowa State College as a fairly established Chapter as the date of its initiation services and the anti-fraternity rulings so conflicted that it had no actual college existence. But the zeal and loyalty of its initiates have been appreciated all the more, and when one considers that this was not only an unsuccessful attempt but the unsuccessful attempt of a new sorority, the lasting interest of these girls is a splendid testimony to the value of its rites. Post Graduate Mention. Etta May Budd, who had joined her forces and plans to Tri Delta while in Boston, was not only the organizer of Delta Chapter, but also transformed the L. F. V. Society of Simpson College into Delta Deuteron Chapter of Delta Delta Delta. She was for several years a member of the Simpson College Faculty. Evelyn Starr (since deceased), was a post graduate student at Ames. Eva Spear was a daughter of Prof. Spear, at that time Superintend- ent of U. S. Experimental Station. Flora Wilson (a pledged member), is the daughter of the Professor of Agriculture at that time, and he has since become a member of Presi- dent Roosevelt's Cabinet, while Miss Wilson is now studying in Paris. May Roddis Kruger is now in the Philippines, the wife of a U. S. army captain. College Data. Iowa State College was established under a grant for agri- cultural schools in 1869. Fraternities were ruled out in 1890- 1891. Recently the rulings have been favorable again and some of the men's fraternities and Pi Beta Phi have reopened their chapters. n B #, established 1877; withdrawn 1887; re-established 1906. AAA, installed 1890; never conducted. Gamma Organization. Gamma Chapter was installed at Adrian College, Adrian, Mich., on Feb. 22, 1890, in W. C. T. U. parlors, by Mrs. L. A. W. Stevens, of Alpha. 128 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. The group of girls composing it received all possible aid and encouragment both from the local chapters of the men's frater- nities and from various members of the faculty, it being felt that a second national sorority would be a good thing in the school. A local had been in existence since the beginning of the college year. Charter Members. Bessie M. Leach. Matie Trumble. Rose McCormick. Eva Rorick. Anna Poage. Daisy Mulvane. Anna Louise Porter. Fronia Rhonemus. Emma Kinney. Chapter Data. The Chapter has always maintained a chapter hall, located in a front wing of the girls' dormitory. A regular rent is paid for the hall and it is provided with all modern conveniences. It has been refurnished and re-decorated by the chapter for 4906, this being the third time that it has had renovation. Tri Delta girls at Adrain have always added to their creed the fostering of loy- alty to their Alma Mater. Weekly meetings are held. An opening party, a Pan-Hel- lenic affair of some kind and the Annual Reunion Banquet are the more important regular social duties. No record of minor college honors and positions has been kept, but Gamma Chapter reported the following college posi- tions for 1905-'06 : Senior Class Prophet, an Eulogist, Reciter, and Debater for Literary Societies' Anniversaries, Vice President of Y. W. C. A. and President of College Alumni Association. In her history Gamma Chapter has enjoyed three positions on the college faculty, five assistant or tutor positions and four of its girls have become wives of faculty members. In the first year of its organization, out of seven girls in college holding High School graduation first honors, five were on this Chapter roll. Fraternity Honors.

Miss Jack- son had been the moving spirit in the petitioning body and had made the trip to Meriden, Conn., where Miss Shaw was teach- ing, to take the initiation service direct from her as soon as the news was received that the charter had been granted. The initiatory banquet was held January 11, 1892. The St. Law- rence Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma tendered the new Trl Delta Chapter a reception February 13, 1892.

S i~ A Chapter House has been maintained for some time, pro- vided by their honorary member, Mrs. H. A. Cowen, for a time, but now supported by the girls. A goodly portion of a fund for the purchase of a home has been accumulated. Formal events here are Annual Initiatory Banquet, a joint celebration of Found- ers' and Chapter Day held some time between Thanksgiving and Christmas, annual Christmas celebration, Annual Alumnae Re- union Banquet and three or four other variable functions. Reg- ular meetings are held each Saturday evening. Beta Chapter entertained the Second National Convention with credit to itself and satisfaction to the fraternity. The first convention picture was made at this time. St. Lawrence University has been the scene of some very interesting sorority history, and Beta Chapter made as heroic a struggle as any Chapter ever recorded, and was rewarded by a remarkable success. To some of those who had watched and worked during the trying times recorded in their secret annals, the delegation of twenty-one members who came down to Syra- cuse to the Seventh National Convention was an inspiring sight. Besides having furnished a fourteen room Chapter House, Beta Chapter has made quite a start on a Chapter Endowment Fund. Besides the listed honors, the following positions were re- ported for 1905 — Vice Presidency of three classes and of the 132 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. Thelomathesia, representation on the Laurentian Board and the Presidency of both the S. L. U. French Club and the S. L. U.

Zeta Organization. Zeta Chapter was installed at the University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, O., May 23, 1892, by Emma B. Kinney, of Gamma, and it was through her efforts that the petitioning body for Zeta Chapter was assembled. Her home was in Cincinnati and when she decided to give up her work in Adrian College and enter her home University, it was her steadfast purpose to organize there a creditable chapter of the then young national sorority, in which she had been such an enthusiastic charter member at Adrian. The pride and strength of the local sororities there at the University at that time can scarcely be estimated by people ac- customed to measure things by the national standard. Miss Kinney's judgment both on character and scholarship was also of an unusually keen discrimination so that her task consumed nearly two years, but the history of Zeta Chapter and Zeta Al- liance declares to all how wisely and well it was accomplished and how loyally the early support that she gained work with her and for Tri Delta. 134 history of delta delta delta.

Honorary Member. Chapter Data. Meetings are held every other Saturday in the homes. Every two months a joint session of Alumnae Alliance and Chap- ter is held. Dances, plays, luncheons, and banquets are regular affairs. As an unusually large proportion of members are of Cincinnati families and thus the Alliance numbers more than fifty, the joint meetings are very large affairs. Those who at- tended the Fourth National Convention of A A A will never for- get the elaborate manner in which Zeta Chapter entertained. The gorgeous window decorations of the city, in honor of the Convention, bore witness to the fact that the Chapter was locally appreciated. For years a very strong and old local and two other good locals were formidable rivals, but the Convention of 1900 was so convincing that since then Zeta has had a free range, K K r installed a Chapter here in 1885 but it existed but a few months, its charter being withdrawn in 1885. Zeta Chapter has also borne the responsibility of editing the Trident and borne it with credit. Miss Julia Closterman was the second editor-in-chief, assuming her duties at the beginning of the tenth volume and continued them througli the eleventh with a marked success. She was the first editor to use an illus- trated cover, the admirable and significant design being the work of one of Zeta's members, Lavina Perin-Gray. Beside informal rushing parties, the last year recorded in October a dance, at the Allamont Hotel, a "bal poudre," in December, and a dance June the fifth. On Founder's Day the Alliance gave the banquet. Over thirty college elective and honorary positions were re- ported for the past year. Fraternity Honors. Entertained Fourth National Convention, 1900.

A group of girls as early as 1890 had made application for a charter of Delta Delta Delta, but failing to satisfactorily group the requisite number, they had become discouraged and finally obtained a charter in another national sorority. In 1892, Louise Robinson began correspondence with Sarah Ida Shaw, relative to another petition, and at last the charter was granted to the following! Charter Members. Florence Louise Robinson.

A chapter room has always been maintained, where weekly meetings are held. Social meetings are held once a month at the homes of the town girls. Some three or four large dancing parties are given during the year. On Chapter Day here the Alumnae give the banquet. There is a Christmas celebration and the spring brings either a steamer trip down the Mississippi or lake excursions. Although this Chapter was preceded in the field by four strong nationals, it at once took good standing and has always been strong locally, as well as a Chapter assuming willingly the responsibilities of the general sorority work. 142 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. The Third National Convention was really the first succes- ful and representative one, the one that marked a success at- tained, and this Convention was held with Theta Chapter and with a Theta Chapter girl, Dr. Caroline Edgar Erdman, in the chair as Grand President. As the majority of the members are either Minneapolis or St. Paul girls, no need of a Chapter House has been felt, but a suite of four rooms has been rented for the present year and pro- visions for a permanent fund made both by under-graduate work and by alumnae pledges of $25.00 per capita.

This chapter up to July, 1900, had initiated thirty-two mem- bers and pledged two. It graduated twenty-two members. All the then existing women's fraternities were represented at Ann Arbor, and Iota Chapter found the rivalry so bitter that they be- lieved the situation made their members unhappy and gave no benefit to the general fraternity. They decided to discontinue their efforts and sending two delegates to the Fourth National Convention, they loyally revealed the whole situation and vol- untarily surrendered their charter. They were unanimously re- leased and their delegates present given the Circle Degree with power to create an Iota Aliance at their discretion. Iota maintained a Chapter House during nearly her whole history. Some of the girls were prominent in the work of the Woman's League, in College Dramatics, and many of them re- ceived advanced or professional degrees!, after their regular college course. Many of them have also been located in positions of honor and responsibility since their graduation. Effie Lynch Danfurth was a teacher of Classics in a private School for Girls in New York City in 1902-'06, also a student of Archaeology in Rome, 1903. Blanche Boyle received the de- gree of M'. D. at Ann Arbor, in 1904, having spent four years for a literary course and two in medical ; after the Tri Delta Chapter House was closed, she was a member of the woman's medical fraternity. The Misses Reichman won distinction as CHAPTER HISTORIES — IOTA. 145 scholars and one of them represented the Woman's League on the Michigan State Federation of Woman's Clubs' program, while the other took Post Graduate work at the University of Chicago.

The following was passed by the Cincinnati Convention and appeared in Trident, Vol. IX, No. 4: "The Delta Delta Delta Fraternity in convention assembled at Cincinnati, O., this twenty-ninth day of June, 1900, desires to make the following statement concerning her Iota Chapter at Ann Arbor, Mich: Owing to the rumors and the criticisms made against Iota Chapter of A A A in the student body at Ann Arbor, Iota Chapter has for same time contemplated the advisability of voluntarily surrendering her charter. This matter had been thoroughly investigated by members of the Grand Council of A A A and came before this Convention for consideration. The present Chapter was perfectly vindi- cated. Yet, under the present conditions, it was deemed advis- able to allow the Chapter to voluntarily surrender its charter, the Convention expressing its entire confidence in the petitioning body.

Kappa Chapter was installed in the University of Nebras- ka, Lincoln, Neb., at Ashland, Neb., in the home of Dr. Von Mansfelde, by Lora Allen, of Delta, on Nov. 28, 1894. Upsilon Chapter was instrumental in its formation and the Chapter of Delta Gamma there gave friendly aid, some of its members hav- ing Tri Delta friends in Galesburg. An unusual circumstance occurred here, as two groups of girls were petitioners at the same time for a charter in Tri Delta. But when the group headed by Miss Frankish and Anita Muir, although later petitioners, received the affirmative vote, their disappointed rivals offered friendly congratulations. On Nov. 29, a reception introduced Kappa Chapter to the University life. Charter Members. Ellen Huntington Frankish. E. Anita Muir. Duty Von Mansfelde. Sarah Vore Taylor. Jo Von Mansfelde. Anna L. T.

Kappa Chapter has supported a Chapter House for seven years, excepting the year 1905-'06. This was due to poor accommodations in available houses, rather than to any inability on the part of the sorority. At present a beautiful home is maintained in the heart of the city, one block irom the State Capitol and next door to the Governor's Mansion. The Man- sion might almost be called Kappa's second home, as its mis- CHAPTER HISTORIES KAPPA. . 147 tress is an honorary member of Tri Delta and hospitably re- ceives all the girls. During this year eleven girls occupy the Lincoln Tri Delta House, a much larger number than is found in any other sorority house in the city. Kappa furnished her present home in a uniform style, with gifts from active and alumnae members and several of the fra- ternities, the weathered oak idea is very well carried out. She prides herself on having not a "rooming place" but a complete home in every sense of the word, and that idea prevails thro' out the school in connection with the Tri Deltas' Lincoln quar- ters. Mrs. Dr. Holyoke, a well known singer and a lady of great prestige in local circles, owns the house and resides with the girls. The Chapter is making plans for a still better home for next year, and hope before many years to own a home. The annual Thanksgiving banquet combines the celebra- tion of Founder's Day and Chapter Day, and is made the elab- orate event of the year. Upwards of seventy-five to a hundred Kappa girls assemble at that time. During the second semester, Kappa gives her large formal annual dance, to which she invites members of outside soror- ities. In the spring the ever enjoyable "Tri Delta Picnic" takes place, and a series of receptions is given the Faculty. Kappa Chapter made one of the best scholarship records found among Lincoln sororities at the mid-semester report, and has initiated eight very strong freshmen this year, beside sev- eral good upper classmen. Mayme Hartley, a new initiate, re- ceived a state commission to visit and report on social condi- tions in the Philippine Islands, Gov. Poynter receiving her re- port with sincere praise. Kappa Chapter is now president of the local Pan-Hellenic Association. 1905-'06 report recorded the following positions: President University Girls Club, Second Asst.

' Meetings are held each Fridey night. A large formal party is given each term and a Tri Delta breakfast during Com- mencement Week. Last spring vacation brought a "House Party" for the Chapter, given by Anna Hoch at her home, "The Governor's Mansion," Topeka. The banner for Lambda Chapter designed and executed by Georgiana Reed, aroused much attention at the Third National Convention (1897) and is perhaps the oldest elaborate one in the sorority. It is painted in water colors on white satin and swings from a golden rod by the tri-colored cord. The design is the figure of Poseidon in a golden chariot, driving three horses through the waves. In his right hand is the Trident, above his head the Crescent, while there is a Star on the fore-head of each horse. At the top of the banner, are emblazoned three golden Deltas, while in the three triangular portions of the lower part are the pine and the pansies. 150 History of delta delta delta. Lambda Chapter had something of an interest in national affairs last year, when their Anna Hoch was invited, as daugh- ter of the Governor, E. W. Hoch, to stand as Sponsor at the christening of the Battleship Kansas. The christening took place Aug. 12, 1905, at Camden, N. J. Another Lambda girl, Ora Allen, made the trip as part of the official party, to act as Maid of Honor. The christening was effected with a smooth and beautiful ceremony and Psi Chapter girls of Phila- delphi having been invited for the occasion were there to witness and to greet. The ceremony was also somewhat unique, as the Kansas was the first battleship in the world to be christened with water alone. The sponsor was presented with a bracelet of dull gold ornamented with raised water lilies, encrusted with emeralds and bearing on the inner side an appropriate inscrip- tion. Lambda reported the following positions for 1905-6 : Assistants in Vocal and English Departments, Pianist for Oratorio, "Creation," Society Commencement Orator, Vice- President B. U. O.

Eliza- beth Jones, all- of Alpha. As early as 1891, the petitioning of Tri Delta for a charter was agitated at Wesleyan, when Maud Muzzy, one of the first year initiates of Alpha, was a student there and Sarah Ida Shaw was a teacher at Meriden, eight miles away. No plans ma- terialized, however, until thirteen girls in A. K. U.; an open so- ciety in the University, began under the leadership of Mary McKay to think and plan for a national sorority chapter. When it came to a question o'f which sorority it should be, one of their number, Anna J. Kellogg was urgent for an application to be made first to Tri Delta, she having become interested in Tri 152 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. Delta while a pupil of Miss Shaw's at Meriden. Finally a delegate, Grace Bunnell, was sent to Alpha Chapter and upon her return the petition was immediately drawn up and formally presented. On March 19, the local sororities then existing there, Phi Sigma and A. K. U. tendered to Sigma Chapter of A A A the first national sorority there, a reception in recognition of their advent.

Sigma girls have always been active in class, literary societies, college publications and Y. W. C. A., and have en- joyed their quota of honors. They have been girls above the average in scholarship and the Chapter percentage of graduation is high.

Upsilon Organization. Upsilon Chapter was installed at Northwestern University, Evanston, 111., June 1st, 1895, by Eleanor Milchrist, Epsilon, and Hattie (Berry) Morely, of Delta. The girls began working for their petition early in the year, their aim from the first being Tri Delta. They did not receive their charter until late in the year as one of the eastern Chapters was dubious about granting a charter so far west. Initiation was hurried through on June 1 before the girls separated for the summer. The next fall but five returned and then the struggle began. With six strong sororities already in the field the new one had to fight for its existence. But at the end of the year the Chapter numbered 15. It was put on a firm basis and has flourished ever since. Charter Members. Lottie Watson. May Hadley. Frances Watson. Eleanor Johnston. Grace Clongh. Adelaide Watrous. Elsie Chandler. Cora Ellis. Jessie Paddock. Honorary Members. Mrs. Ellen Eastman Lacy. Mrs. Louise Von Grotenhuis. Chapter Data. The sororities at Northwestern University have their fra- ternity rooms on the fourth floor of one of the women's dor- mitories. Here they hold meetings every week, feeling very secure in their little "sky-parlor." The time of the meeting is from five to seven, social and business sessions are combined, a supper being served by a committee of three each time. In former years, the sororities were not compelled to pay room rent, but this year there is some talk of charging from $25.00 to $50.00 per year for a room, according to the size of the room. Upsilon Chapter owns its furnishings and tries each year to add something in the way of china, silver, pictures, or anything that the Chapter is especially in need of. A piano is the next thing in view. The important social functions for each year are Informal Dance for Initiates, Initiation Banquet, Formal Dance for other Sororities, Christmas Party, and Alumnae Luncheon.

Nu Chapter was installed at the Ohio State University, Col- umbus, Ohio, Mar. 31, 1896, at the residence of Fannie Rock- well, by Bessie Leach Priddy, of Gamma, assisted by Harriet Averill, of Iota, and Mrs. Baldwin, Lavina R. Perrin, Florence Lawler, Bessie dollar, Julia Bentley and Julia E. Closterman, of Zeta, and Ruth Butterworth of Iota and Zeta. Sarah Ida Shaw Martin was influential in the formation of this Chapter. A reception to various university people followed the initiation at the residence of Prof. Kellerman. It was appropriate that Gamma and Zeta should aid in this installation, as two of Nu's charter members had received inspiration from these Chapters. Charter Members. Ivy Kellerman. Edna Armstrong. Helen Mills. Gertrude Nichol. Olive Shurtz. Florence James. Fanny Rockwell. Bessie Long. Alice Lentz. Chapter Data. Meetings have been held at the homes on each Saturday night, a goodly number of the girls being residents of the city. During the past year, however, a chapter room has been rented. The initiation banquet is made an Alumnae reunion affair, the mid-winter term sees a formal reception and dance combined, and the spring a tally-ho ride, village dance and supper, or something largely informal. 158 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA.

Wait, Bertha Jackson and Loraine Thomas, of Beta, Annie Sherburne and Emily Lucia, of Eta, and Mabel Terry, of Gamma. The petitioners had been a local since 1895, known as Chi Alpha, organized by Mrs. B. W. Brown and Ethel Embury for the purpose of securing a charter in a national. Ten names ap- peared upon the petition to Delta Delta Delta, which petition was granted in something over a year after its presentation. The initiation service took place at the home of Mrs. B. W. Brown, on Crouse Avenue, during the afternoon of October thirtieth and was probably more elaborate than ever before attempted. In the evening a reception followed at the home of Ethel Embury and upon the evening of October thirty-first was the installation of officers and a banquet at Hotel Vanderbilt. All of the women's sororities entertained in honor of Omicron. Charter Members. Evelyn F. Allen. Josephine M. Brown. Ethel E. Embury. Anna J. Hollis. Daisy Boone. Bessie Stinard. Ethelberta Timbrell.

The first house was at 301 Marshall St., the present one is at 301 Waverly Avenue. The house is owned by Prof. Holzworth, the husband of an honorary member. It con- tains fifteen rooms, $1500.00 worth of furniture has been accum- ulated, a rental of $660.00 a year is paid and the Chapter is cre- ating an endowment fund by a $25.00 per capita graduate tax. The annual events with this Chapter are a Freshmen Party, a Mother's and Patroness Party, Alumnae Reception, Initiation Banquet and Senior Banquet. Last year a reception was given to all other sororities and to the Faculty on October second. Fresh and pleasant in the memory of one hundred and sev- enty-five Tri Deltas, representing every Chapter and Alliance, are the days of the Seventh National Convention in Syracuse, and to Omicron Chapter is gathered its full measure of praise and gratitude for the purely unselfish, caretaking and thoughtful man- ner in which the Convention was entertained. The business ability of the Chapter took care of major and minor matters so uniformly well that the Convention was able to accomplish an unprecedented amount of business most easily, and business and pleasure met and mingled and parted with correct measure and manner. Omicron graduated twelve girls this year and ten of these took the Model Initiation Rites of the Third or Circle Degree be- fore the assembled Convention. Fraternity Honors.

Mu Organization. Mu Chapter was installed in the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis., April, 1, 1898, by Eva Barker and Ethel Mackin- tosh, of Upsilon, and the inspiration for its formation came from this Chapter. There was no public local organization before the charter was granted. The idea had its origin in a group of four 102 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. girls who were rooming in the same house, but no plan was con- ceived until some time after the rumors had begun to float in the college circles that a new sorority was to be organized. Three of the girls remained in their junior year, and with the available material which they saw, they considered that the time was ripe for a serious effort. The application was sent in the late fall. Just before the holiday vacation, Mrs. Elizabeth Gibbs Palmer, Vice President of Beta Province, came to inspect the girls. In March, news was received of a favorable decision, and the initiation ceremonies and banquet were held at the home of one of the girls, on the evening of Friday, April 1st. Charter Members.

Be- sides meeting a rental expense of $840.00 a year, Mu Chapter has furnished its home with credit to itself. A furniture fund was started at first by each alumna giving ten dollars and each active girl twenty dollars. Since that time substantial additions have been made each year out of the profits of house-keeping and also many handsome gifts have been received from alumna. The treasurer's books for 1905-6 showed the year's expenditures to have been $3,400.25. There are seventeen rooms in this house and fourteen girls have lived in it the past year. Besides the informal dancing, card and dinner parties given each year at the Chapter House, one formal and two informal parties are given in rented halls. The freshmen annually enter- tain the freshmen of the other sororities by a formal reception and each of the other classes entertain once a year. During 1905-1906, the Presidency of the Girl's Athletic Association was held by this Chapter and an active part taken in this line of work by many of the members. chapter histories mu. 163 Fraternity Honors.

Following the custom of the College, this Chapter has no Chapter House but a room for meeting in one of the Dormitories, Glitner Hall. This they have furnished in Mission style. Here are held Thursday afternoon teas each week. Business meetings are called each Saturday evening. Meetings occur once a month in the homes of the alumnae. "A Coming Out Party" for new members and a "Year End Banquet" are annual features. The Pan-Hellenic movement among the women's sororities has been especially successful here and the report of one member of Xi, Miss Sara La Maistre Johnson, on the local Pan-Hellenic Association and its work, which was made at the solicitation of the officers of the Second Inter-sorority Conference, commanded wide attention and interest in fraternity and college circles. See Trident, Vol. XIII, No. 3. With this chapter rested the burden of the editing and pub- lishing of the Trident for three years, from 1902-1905. The ability to accept and perform this work was remarkable in so young a chapter, it having been established but four years when the work was undertaken. The burdens put upon the home and 166 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. business life of Baltimore by the great fire made it impossible to continue in this work but the volumes of the magazine issued here remain as a monument to the industry, energy and good taste of their management. This Chapter also has the honor of mothering the edition of the first song book, Nov., 1905. A commendable loyalty to an enthusiasm for the Alma Mater was evidenced at Baltimore, when for 1905-'0G all the sororities turned into the fund for the college debt what would have been used for social affairs and held simple and inexpensive little events for themselves.

A Chapter House is maintained, leased for five years at a rent of $840.00 a year, the furniture of which has all been pur- chased by the Chapter and is of a handsome character. Dances, general Receptions, Faculty Receptions, and weekly informal evenings at Chapter House constitute the amusements. The list of college honors speaks plainly for the great activ- ity of these girls in all phases of college life. While the earth- quake and fire at San Francisco was a great disaster to Universi- ty circles, yet Pi Chapter had much for which to be thankful, even in the midst of her great sorrow. Their president, Louise Reid, lost two sisters and a niece, killed by falling buildings at Santa Rosa, and Violet Patterson lost her home in San Francisco. Many of the chapters of the different sororities and fraternities there lost a very heavy per cent of their enrollment through this great disaster, but Pi has commenced 1906-'07 with new cour- age and bright prospects. The following college positions were reported for 1905-'06 : Assistant in Chemistry ; tennis champion ; captain Freshman Basket Ball team ; secretary A. W.

Although this is a young chapter in a school where many other fraternities have preceded it, yet the three years of its existence record a goodly number of undertakings. In social lines, 1903-1904 hold in its list two formal dances, at Brinkerhoff Hall, three Theatre Parties, Initiate's Luncheon at Sherry's, Opening Luncheon at White Plains, Pan-Hellenic Reception besides many minor affairs. The first formal party of 1904-1905 was a dance, then came a Luncheon at the Manhattan, followed by a Theatre Party giv- en in honor of Janet Priest, of Theta, who was "Muggsy" in the ""Maid and the Mummy Company," playing in New York at that time. An initiation luncheon and a luncheon at White Plain? were the other larger attempts. Rho Chapter Rooms.

As early as 1898, petitions from Bucknell had been received but no degree of success had been attained until this group took up the matter in 1902. Their persistence and the very loyal sup- port of faculty and friends procured the necessary personal in- vestigation which revealed so favorable a situation that the grant was made. Charter Members.

Louise Fitch, Nov. 15, 1905, at the Burkley Imperial and it fell to the lot of Tri Delta this year to give the "big party," as it is dubbed in college phrase here. The date of this was January 12th. The Armory where it was held was gay with silver, gold and blue. About four hun- dred guests were present. This "big party" is a custom pecu- liar to the institution, each sorority entertaining all the other fra- ternities in school once in four years. Five minor social events were reported between this and the Farewell breakfast given June 12, 1906, to close the college year. The Chapter reported the following honors and positions for 1905-'06: One Phi Beta Kappa. Two Scholarships, one instructor in physical training and one in English department. Two presidents of Literary Societies. Vice President and Cabinet Officer of Y. W. C. A. Vice President of Freshman class. A pretty home has been rented for 1906-7, completely fur- nished, and a most successful year is being enjoyed. In the sec- ond year of her existence Phi Chapter has dared to assume the burdens of conducting a chapter house although her rivals had hesitated to do so for twelve and fourteen years but her success and satisfaction have been great.

Chi Organization. Chi Chapter was installed at the University of Mississippi, on Sept. 22, 1904, in the Law Lecture room of University Build- ing, by Elizabeth Tumbleson Leutscher, Grand President, of Xi, R. Louise Fitch, Grand Vice President of Beta Province, and Irene Olson, both of Epsilon, assisted by Ola Price, previously initiated at the Sixth National Convention. The petitioning body was a local Tau Delta Theta and was highly recommended by every Greek letter fraternity at the Uni- versity. It had been established in 1896 and had been unusually prosperous. A unique feature in the installation of Chi Chapter was the arranging of the festivities, which took place at the home of Vice Chancellor Dr. Jones, in such a manner as to mark the fare- well to Tau Delta Theta symbols, as well as the introduction to the insignia of Delta Delta Delta. It was peculiar and unfortunate that three of the petitioners were ill at school with typhoid fever at the time of the initiation and could not attend. Another was delayed by poor train connections and did not arrive until the morning following the initiation. Charter Members. Ola Price. Bettie Sue Chamblis. Norma Wilkins. Daisy Plant. Suzanne Burt.

B. — Th<* term "honorary member" perhaps needs explanation. Until the Fourth National Convention there v as but one ruling on the subject, that of the original constitution entitling each chapter to three honorary members. It was found that customs varied, some fully initiat- ing the three selected, thus entitling them to wear the badge, and some merely giving them the colors or oledge pins and regarding them as patronesses. Since the ruling of 1900, no honorary members have re- ceived initiation, thev being at present merely patronesses of the various chapters. Those initiated prior to 1900 were women of national promin- ence, members of the different faculties, or wives of various faculty members, usually women holding college degrees. — B. L. P. ALLIANCE HISTORIES General Note Until quite recently all the work on the Alliance movement has been in the cities where the active chapters exist, with but one exception, "The Chicago Alliance," and that of course was very near to Upsilon. All the Alliances assist the Active Chapters in rushing season, re-union affairs, and Pan-Hellenic Association work and help them financially. Each Alliance member is pledged to the support of the Trident. Regular communication is kept up between the distant members by means of "Round Robin Letters." All Chapters report interchange of entertain- ment with their Alliances. M. Katherine Ratterman, of Cincinnati, Zeta Chapter, was appointed Alliance Supervisor for 1905-6 by Grand President, Elizabeth Tumbleson Leutscher and the Seventh National Con- vention showed its appreciation of her work by adding an Al- liance Officer to the Grand Council number and electing Miss Ratterman unanimously to that position. Under her care and attention the interest and zeal in various city centers has awak- ened and several city Alliances are in process of formation, those in Milwaukee, Wis., and Des Moines, la., promising speedy re- alization. The Alliances can scarcely be listed in any other way than in order of their formation. Alpha Alliance The girls of Boston University have the honor of forming the first Alumnae Alliance, as well as of founding the first Chap- ter of Delta Delta Delta. Alpha Alumnae Alliance was organized August 29, 1892, at the home of Emily F. Allen, Pinckney St., Boston, by Sarah Ida Shaw, Charlotte Joslin, Emily F. Allen and Grace Ayres of Al- pha. The First National Convention (1893) recognized the Al- (182) EPSILON ALLIANCE CHICAGO ALLIANCE. 183 Hance officially, making extensive provision for the Alliance movement and putting the matters of future organization, ritual work and constitution in the hands of the founders of this first Alliance. Alpha Alliance was represented at the Second Nation- al Convention. The meetings of Alpha Alliance are held the first Saturday of each month of the school year, usually in the rooms of the active chapter. Besides business sessions, both literary and so- cial sessions are enjoyed and on several occasions speakers have been provided and open meetings held. Nearly one hundred per cent of Alpha Chapter graduates have been enrolled since the Alliance was formed. A joint com- mittee of Chapter and Alliance has charge of mutual work. Epsilon Alliance Epsilon Alumnae Alliance was the second one to form and was organized at Galesburg, 111., by Mrs. Alta Marsh Phillips, Martha Stone, Lillian Emrich, Estell Johnson and Grace Matte- son, resident graduates of Epsilon Chapter, March 2, 1896. All resident members of the Active Chapter come into the Alliance upon leaving school and those near enough to the city to attend any meetings. The monthly meetings are of a social nature or on fraternity work and philanthophic lines are not forgotten as each week sewing is done for the free kindergarten. The Al- liance also in 1904 aided the Active Chapter in furnishing the re- ception room of the free kindergarten building. They meet with the Chapter several times during the year and take an active part in the Thanksgiving Banquet celebra- tion, the chief Chapter event of each year. Many of the members hold offices in, and are connected with the various Literary, Musical and Philanthrophic organiz- ations of the city. Chicago Alliance Third in order, the Chicago Alumna? Alliance was organ- ized by Eleanor Dorcas Pond Mann, one of the founders of Al- pha Chapter*, at 1223 Milton Ave., Chicago, May 15, 1897. Her work in effecting this organization was an evidence of the abiding interest which she has alwavs manifested in the welfare of Tri 184 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. Delta. Those joining were Mrs. Edna Wolfe Pearson, Lambda, Mrs. Martha Barden Cole and Mrs. Ola Ingersoll McChesney, of Epsilon, Myrtle N. Stillwell, Ella F. Tobias and Jessie Milne, of Gamma, Alma S. Fick, of Zeta, Lottie B. Watson, Grace Clough, Franc Watson and Lorena G. Watson, of Upsilon, and Margaret Emerson, of Alpha; Delta Chapter was also repre- sented. Meetings were held with great regularity for a time, but later great distances in residence proved an almost insur- mountable obstacle and the Alliance has considered it best to be merged with the Upsilon Alliance, now in process of organiz- ation. Many more Tri Deltas have been located in Chicago and suburban cities and the new organization promises to be very strong. During the past spring, Ethel Andrews, Epsilon, and Amy Olgen Parmelee, Upsilon, have arranged for monthly luncheons of all Chicago Deltas, and representatives from Upsilon Active. Three have now been held, and the interest and attendance is increasing each time. The luncheons are held the first Saturday in each month at the Carricabbie Rooms, Madison street. Zeta Alliance Zeta Alumnae Alliance was the fourth to form and was, it might be said, the first fruits of the Chicago Alliance and the enthusiasm aroused by the Third National Convention. It was organized at Cincinnati, Sept. 2, 1897. The formation was in charge of Alma Fick of Zeta, formerly of the Chicago Alliance, and the services took place at her home. Those who presented themselves for initiation were Emma B. Kinney, Estelle M. Riley, Lucy M. Lambdin, Grace Marshall, Mrs. Emma H. Bald- win, Mary S. Evans and Florence Lawler. Four others were shortly after enrolled, Agnes R. Powers, Caroline A. Powell, Sadie A. Fortney, and Stella M. Fortney. Nearly one hundred per cent of chapter membership is en- rolled and as their membership now exceeds fifty, the attend- ance at all meetings is large and courses- of study, lectures and plays are attempted, besides the social, business and fraternity features. A great deal of Social Settlement work has been done both by the individual members and by the Alliance as an organiz- GAMMA ALLIANCE SIGMA ALLIANCE. 185 ation and Zeta is also well represented in the Woman's Club, Press Club and many other city associations. Gamma Alliance Gamma Alumnae Alliance was organized June 8, 1898, at Gamma Chapter Hall, Adrian, Mich. Ella F. Tobias, of Gam- ma, and recently of the Chicago Alumnae Alliance, conducted the work and there were enrolled with her as first members, Eliza- beth Gibbs Palmer, Jean Stearns Kimball, enthusiastic delegates from the Third National Convention, Bertha Page Robertson, Bessie Leach Priddy, Dorothy E. Baker, Julia Myers Dewey, Abbie Wakefield Hamilton, Clara B. Hopkins and Mary M. Mbrden. Meetings are held the last Saturday in each month, at the homes. At least ninety-five per cent of Chapter membership has been enrolled. A feature of 1904's work was a reception to all fraternity women in the city. At least two social functions are given for the Chapter each year. Round Robin correspondence is maintained for the benefit of the out of town members. Once a year some meeting is made the occasion of an excursion to the home of some out of town member. Many of the members are active workers in the various city organizations. Sigma Alliance Sigma Alumnae Alliance was organized at Middletown, Conn., June 28, 1898, by Sarah Tucker Kurt, Lucy Osborne Searle and Mary A. McKay. Besides these three, the follow- ing were initiated at organization : Frances L. Weeks, Isabelle J. Church, Anna J. Kellog, Elizabeth H. Rogers, May A. Adams, Carrie T. Brown, M. Grace Brunell, Elizabeth C. Stevens, El- eanor Newell, and Isabelle M. Walbridge. About ninety per cent of Chapter membership is enrolled. Many re-unions are undertaken. Besides fraternity work, this Alliance has been devoting part of its energies to New York Social Settlement work. The interest of their out of town members is held by a very elaborate and effective system of Round Robin letters. Their full official meetings are in Janu- ary and June each year. 186 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. Omicron Alliance Omicron Alumnae Alliance was organized at Syracuse, N. Y., Oct. 27, 1900, at the home of Evelyn F. Allen, by the follow- ing Omicron girls : Clara Johnson Champlin, Evelyn F. Allen, Daisy Boon Phillips, Anna Hollis, Alberta E. Perry, Josephine Horn Brown, and Ruth Ward. Seventy-five per cent of the Chapter membership is enrolled. Meetings are held the first Thursday evening of each month and are largely of a social nature. This Alliance has been working on and nearly completed elaborate initiation paraphernalia for presentation to the Active Chapter. Theta Alliance Theta Alumnae Alliance was organized May 18, 1901, by Dr. Caroline Edgar Erdmann, at her home in Minneapolis. Meet- ings are held every two months and news from absent members is given a prominent place in the program. Sixty-five per cent of Chapter membership has been enrolled. This Alliance reports as members, four professional women, three at home girls, eight high school teachers and fourteen mar- ried women. Some of the individual members have been very active in Social Settlement work. Delta Alliance Delta Alumnae Alliance was organized at Indianola, la., Sept. 24, 1901,, by ex-members of Delta Chapter. The meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month and consist of business and literary or business and social sessions. To each social ses- sion four members of the Active Chapter are invited. Here, too. Chapter House work is a part of the activity. The Des Moines City group, which is gradually organizing, will have as a nu- cleus a large proportion of Delta Chapter alumnae. Eta Alliance Eta Alumnae Alliance was organized June, 1902, in Bur- lington, Vt., at the home of Mrs. G. S. Forbes. The members petitioning for charter were Annie Sherburne, Eva Jones, Helen BETA ALLIANCE — RHO ALLIANCE. 187 Hendee, Hattie K. Forbes, Edith Smith Simpson, Addle I. Lee and Abbie Katherine Leonard. Meetings are held the first Sat- urday evening of each month and both musical and literary pro- grams are enjoyed as well as social hours. All but one Chapter graduate have joined the Alliance since its formation. Some philanthropic work is undertaken and the Alliance is joining with other college women in working for the formation of a local College Club. Various lectures have been given under their auspices. A printed calendar of their programs for each year is issued. Beta Alliance Beta Alumnae Alliance was organized at Canton, N. Y., June 23, 1903, by ex-members of Beta Chapter. Miss Anna Hol- lis of Omicron Alliance, had charge of the Third Degree Ritual work. This Alliance enrolls about twenty per cent of Chapter membership, largely the resident girls. They are actively at work on enlarging the fund for the Chapter House, as well as assisting in the furnishing of the same. Each Commencement Week sees a very enjoyable meeting, the re-union of the resident Alliance girls and the out of town Circle Degree members. Rho Alliance Rho Alliance was organized May, 14, 1904, in a class room of the Ely School, New York City. Mrs. Chamberlain (Carrie Beddoe), of Alpha, was the leading spirit in organization. Mrs. Effie Danforth McAfee, of Iota Circle Degree, conducted the initiation services. Rho Alliance was organized by eight Tri Delta Alumnae from several colleges : Carrie Beddoe Chamberlain, Alpha, Effie Danforth, Iota, Ella Tobias, Gamma, Marion Ball, Laura Se- guine, Mildred Robinson, Rho, Rose Scott, Epsilon, and Irene Lewis Bedell, Beta. At the June meeting, the following were initiated: Effie Danforth, Ella Tobias, Rose Scott, Irene Lewis Bedell, Mildred Robinson, Marion Ball, Sara Shelley, Harriet Werts, Anna Waring and Edith Appell. To the fourteen initiated at first, each vear has added the 188 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. Rho Chapter graduates, making seventeen in all, at the close of 1906. The Alliance very much desires all Deltas in the vicinity to make themselves known and affiliate with them. Meetings third Saturday afternoon each month. Siprna Alumnae residents in New York City are frequent visitors at Rho Alliance meetings. A series of luncheons has been started this year and tf.jse attending report great pleasure to themselves and growing en- thusiasm for Tri Delta. Denver Alliance The Denver Alliance was formed May 11, 1905, at Denver, Colorado, and was composed at first of one representative each of Alpha, Epsilon, Upsilon, and Kappa, and two of Delta. Six more members have joined since its organization. A recent letter says : "If all Alliances are as successful as ours, then are they all greater even than the Active Chapters — yea, each as great as the fraternity itself." From this quotation, it will be seen how strong an organization, lone representatives of widely separated Chapters have been able to form. Most en- thusiastic reports of the meetings have been received and with true western hospitality they are waiting and watching to wel- come each Tri Delta who journeys westward. The regular roll call of the Denver Alliance for 1905-6 was Frances Bayley Packard, Alpha ; Leonora Hedendahl, Epsi- lon ; Sallie Fisher Sweet and Daisy Thomas, Upsilon ; Maud Hazlett, Kappa; Fern Abbott Richardson, Kappa; Persis Heaton and Lillian Newland, Delta, and Annie Lilley, Eta. Others from Epsilon, Pi, Upsilon and Mu have met with them at various times. Picnics in the park, breakfasts and thimble part- ies have alternated with meetings spent in the study of fratern- ity topics. Los Angeles Alliance The Los Angeles Alliance was formed at Los Angeles, Cal- ifornia, Oct., 1905, by graduates and ex-members of Pi Chapter and members of other Chapters, as follows: Lillian McLaugh- /in, Mable Worden Porter, Ethel Egan West, Martha Stone Hurd, all of Epsilon, Louise Johnston, K. Courtenay MU ALLIANCE — NU ALLIANCE. 189 Johnston, Florence Dodge, Eleanor Hammack, all of Pi, Georgia Suber Bertram, Iota, Jeannette Smith, Delta and Beulah Wright, Lambda-Upsilon. The meetings are mostly social and are called at such times as meet the convenience of the greatest number. At Christmas and in June, formal events are given. Mu Alliance Mu Alliance was formed at Madison, Wis., Dec. 2, 1906, at the home of Jessie Nelson Swanson, at the time when the Visit- ing Delegate was inspecting Mu Chapter. Monthly meetings were tried at first but later it seemed better to vary these and to attempt to have some or all of the Alliance members present regularly at the Chapter House the first Monday evening of each month. Those initiated at the first meeting were Theo. B. Pickford, '03 ; Gertrude Stillman Sanborn, '99 ; Jessie Nelson Swanson, '98 ; Ada Westenhaver Weidman, '99 ; Florence Allen, '00 ; Ruby Peck, '04. and Mary Egan, '04; Ethel Redfield Hobbins, '04; has since joined. While the meetings have been very informal in nature, they are nevertheless very earnest, as the Alliance is taking an active part in raising funds for the building of a Chapter House for Mu Chapter. Nu Alliance The organization of Nu Alliance was accompanied with something more than the usual ceremonies, as on March 29, 1906, was held a grand reunion of Nu Chapter girls, preparatory to the formation of the Alliance on March 30. This day was chosen, as it was Chapter Founding Day. Former Grand President, Agnes Powers Dunning, of Zeta, came to conduct the initiation service and the following girls were received: Ethel Herrick Thompson, Mary Joyce Bush, Edith Rees, Nan Cannon, Edna Armstrong, Margaret Reeb, Olive Shurtz, Frances Peters Bierman, Mima Weaver, Sue Gor- man, Fannie Rockwell, Edith Phipps Wood, Florence Held- meyer, Blanche Skiles and Helen Mills. The service was held at Mrs. Thompson's home, 167 W. 190 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. 10th Ave. A banquet at the Ohio Club followed the initiation and on Saturday, March 31, another party was given in honor of the three Zeta guests, Mrs. Dunning and Lill Stevens, of Zeta Alliance, and Mary Latta, of Zeta Active. Six were initiated later. Besides their own business and social sessions, held the last Saturday of each month, this Alliance has decided to hold four joint meetings a year with the active Chapter. Kappa Alliance Kappa Alliance was organized, in thought at least, on May 19, 1906, for on that day a group of Kappa Chapter alumnae held a meeting and decided upon organization, calling the first formal meeting for initiation for the first Friday in June. Twelve resi- dent alumnae of Lincoln were ready for the first initiation, more joining afterward. Daisy F. Bonnell and Bertha Du Teil, had been initiated at Boston by Alpha Alliance and they conducted the services, initiating Ellen H. Frankish, Anna L. Vore, Mamie Miller, Sophia W. Koehler, Edna M. Gund, Winifred Bonnell, Maude Brush, Pearl Powers Fee, Rae Challis, Lynn Brush, Katherine Lumry, Alma Vandeveer and Pauline Whitcomb, Meetings are held the first Friday of each month. The Alliance is planning with the Chapter for the entertaining of the Eighth National Convention, 1908. Pi Alliance Perhaps to say Pi Alliance is somewhat premature as these very modest Tri Deltas only call themselves, the Pi Alumnae Association of Berkeley, California. In a 1905 letter they say: "The object of this Association is to better keep in touch with the Active Chapter, aid it in every way we can and after three or four years, when more classes have graduated, form a regular Alliance. The President and Secretary of this Association send to all girls not in college a long, interesting letter at least once a month, full of fraternity news. We find the plan a great success and shall soon be asking for the Circle Degree." Upsilon Alliance Upsilon Alumnae Alliance is under formation and promises ALLIANCE HISTORIES. 191 to be very strong as in addition to the Upsilon girls locally resi- dent, many other chapters have Chicago representatives, a part of whom were prominent in the Chicago Alumnae Alliance. Des Moines, Iowa, has a group of girls meeting regularly and nearly ready for the Circle Degree. Spokane, Washington, will soon add its name to the Alli- ance roll as plans are nearly matured there for a regular organi- zation. SUMMARY Thanksgiving, 1906, was the eighteenth birthday of Delta Delta Delta. For that time there has been recorded the installa- tion of twenty-four Chapters, but one of which has been discon- tinued. One other charter was granted but could scarcely have been called established, the one at Ames (Iowa State College), granted just before the faculty anti-fraternity mandate. Of the twenty-three Active Chapters, all report prosperity. Ten are located in state universities, eight in well endowed and recognized universities, the remaining five in old colleges of good collegiate rank wher.e unusual zeal for the work is constantly manifested. Of the twenty-three Chapters, seven are at present success- fully maintaining Chapter houses, Beta, Kappa, Lambda, Omi- cron, Mu, Pi and Phi. Delta and Eta have each had a Chapter house when the number of out of town members warranted it. Iota always occupied a house. Alpha, Gamma, Theta, Sigma, Delta plans to have a house again next year. Upsilon, Xi, Rho, Psi, Alpha Xi and Eta have well furnished Chapter halls for their meetings. Such is the custom of their rival sororities. Most of these have maintained these halls from the first year of their history. Chi anticipates having a Chapter hall soon, Tau meets in the woman's dormitory according to the rules of the college. The remaining three chapters, Zeta, Epsi- lon, and Nu meet in the homes of the members as is the custom of the sororities in their schools. Sixteen Alumnae Alliances have been formed, fourteen so situated as to be working in active co-operation with their Chapters. A half dozen other groups are in various stages of organization. The general fraternity reports seven National Conventions, with an attendance of 175 at the last one,, five Alumnae Alliance sessions, three successful Province conventions in each of its three- Provinces, a fourth voluntary convention in Beta Province, and representation and co-operation in every inter-sorority conven- tion or conference. It also reports the establishment of a well (192) SUMMARY. 193 organized Alumnae Alliance section and of systematized fraternity examinations, conducted annually since 1898. Charters, initiation certificates, cuts, seals, badges, flags, pennants and other para- phernalia have all received due attention. Ritual work for the three degrees, installation services and constitutions have re- ceived the attention of each convention. In publications, Delta Delta Delta stands easily first in ac- complishment for its age, as the fraternity is on the sixteenth vol- ume of the Trident, the second volume of the Triton and has issued five constitutions and nine directories, with a complete catalogue going to press. There was issued in November, 1905, a song book and early in 1907 is the publication of the history. The establishment this year of a comprehensive system of Chapter records and reports ensures for the next history issued unusual completeness and accuracy. A finance system has been devised for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the fratern- ity at large, productive of no deficits, and which, while it places no unfair burdens upon any Chapter, yet ensures representation to all at each convention. The income has been large enough to make possible steady advance in business methods. But one deficit has ever been shown in the biennial balances and that a small one. The magazine is more than self-supporting, provid- ing a small salary for the editor. Ninth in date of establishment and seventh in date of rec- ognition as a national sorority, Tri Delta now stands a close fourth in length of the active Chapter list with the average rank of the schools in that list second to none. It was the first Greek letter society to make provisions in its original constitution and Ritual work for an Alumnae Alliance Section, doing so upon organization (1888). It was the fourth to establish an Alumnae Chapter or Alliance (1892), maintaining those established con- tinuously and it now ranks third in number of such organizations. But one Alliance has ever suspended its sessions and that is now revived. There has been a loss of but one Chapter, Iota, that one having been installed in earlier days with too little investigation of local conditions. From two solitary seniors, far away on the Atlantic coast, for an Alpha Chapter of a new sorority, on Nov. 28, 1888, there has been an advance to an organization consisting of twenty- three chapters located in north and south and east and 194 HISTORY OF DELTA DELTA DELTA. west, all joining in the celebration of Founders' Day, Novem- ber, 1906. With a loyalty pledged by single, double and triple rites, over fifteen hundred initiates now answe • to the national roll call of DELTA DELTA DELTA.
