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!

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?
