^^^ Thanks for sharing! I'm curious, what campuses had 5, 6 or all 7 of the founding NPC orgs prior to the founding of NPC?
"Three Gamma Phi Beta alumnae living 50 miles from Berkeley served as a committee to investigate Tau Delta. On April 29, 1894, the four Gamma Phi Beta alumnae installed the chapter at Berkeley (“History of Eta Chapter,” 1913)."
Today, we so take for granted what enthusiasm these women had for establishing new chapters. It was not exactly like hopping on the freeway or catching a plane and sending out a team of leadership consultants to set up a table or conduct interviews! For a woman to travel 50 miles to Berkeley in 1894 could not have been easy, comfortable or inexpensive and you probably suffered some raised eyebrows from your neighbors and maybe even your husband who wondered what exactly you were doing. Glad they were willing to be risk takers!
