Seems like "spiritual founder" (RE Lee for KA Order) belongs in the same group as "patron saint" if that group can include secular figures like Lincoln and Franklin.

Basically, this boils down to how the GLO identifies them. For example, Phi Mu Delta actually describes Abraham Lincoln as their Patron Saint in their Pledge Manual. https://www.phimudelta.org/uploads/1...acle_final.pdf

and similarly, on the Theta Xi site, Benjamin Franklin described as a "Patron Saint" https://www.thetaxi.org/wp-content/u...nformation.pdf (and not uncommon on chapter controlled sites)

If someone wanted to add RE Lee as spiritual founder using one of the free parameter fields for KA Order, it would be reasonable given the significant coverage of that fact.
