Like Calva Watson Wootton!!
We learned the founders by their maiden and married names, and like agzg said, people are always referred to in sorority circles by their maiden and married names.
As someone who gets her maiden (only) last name mispronounced all the time, I AM militant about it, especially when I correct someone once and they persist in mispronouncing it. I completely sympathize with hyphenates being ticked off, because I'm sure they get the same thing AND some thinly veiled tones of voice about what they think of hyphenation.
