New trivia question
 

Well, no one seemed interested in my 'first KD prez of NPC' question, so I'm moving along. (I'll talk to myself if I have to! :p )

From the history books:

Very early in Kappa Delta's history the "Grand Chapter" (as it was called) appointed one member from each existing chapter to give input on ritual elements that their respective chapters wanted to see included.

What note-worthy Kappa Delta was one of those appointed and from what chapter did she hail?

lol... I got so intrigued by SigKapAngel's CHI info that I completely missed your question!

Give me a little bit of time, and I'll get back to you on that!

There'll be no talking to oneself in the trivia thread! :D

I loooove reading the answers, but I have no idea what they are myself. So you can ask and then I'll say "ooo tell me, tell me please!" and then you can answer yourself if someone else doesn't beat you to it. :p

Leslie,

I am always amazed at the questions you put up...are all of these coming from "Ordinary Miracles"?

Ditto.

I've looked as much as I have time to for the answer to the "first KD NPC president" question. I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out here. I hope someone (other than Leslie!) can provide the answer.

Now, onto the search for the answer to the Grand Chapter question...

For the first KD president of NPC, for some reason, I want to say Minnie Mae Prescott. I don't know why though. And, I have NO CLUE about the Grand Chapter question. :)

Pardon the Interruption...
 

Can I play since it's an NPC question? (History nerd, here!)

Kappa Delta's first member to serve as Chairman of NPC was Gladys Pugh Redd 1935-1937?

How you guys know all these answers?!

Calling Leslie!! We need the answer!!

Is it Minnie Mae Prescott or Gladys Pugh Redd???

(And has anyone made any progress with the Grand Chapter question?)

Grand Chapter's famous member was Georgia O'Keefe from Beta chapter.

I'm sure Nut was right since mine was just a guess :)

Awww, well -- Minnie Mae Prescott was a love, but the other woman pre-dates her. :)

eta: Gladys Pugh Redd, NPC Chairman 1935-37, Minnie Mae Prescott 1981-83

Wow, sorry for being away so long!

Nut is correct. It was Gladys Pugh Redd.

Thanks for joining in, Nut! I love when other NPCers drop in to participate! :)


Ta Kala got the other question correct. Georgia O'Keefe was appointed to bring ritual suggestions from Beta chapter to the Grand Chapter. This was in 1905. Good going, Ta Kala! :)


My questions don't generally come from Ordinary Miracles. I'm fortunate to have a copy of The History of Kappa Delta Sorority 1897-1972 as well as a 1901 State Female Normal School yearbook. The histories are really hard to find because they were only printed for chapters not individuals. I search ebay and abebooks constantly. About a month ago there was a history on ebay but it was only volume 1 and the seller was asking $400 for it! :eek: Otherwise, I would have posted it here.

So....how about an easy question?

Which came first; the current pledge pin or the second degree pin?

Ooooo I think I know!

The Second Degree pin was adopted during the first decade, so 1907 or prior.

The First Degree pledge pin was approved in 1916.

Does this mean I ask a question?

Bingo, Katmandu!

You can ask a question whenever you'd like. Please, post away! :)
