I have thought long and hard about this one. After much consideration, for all of the founders were indeed admiral--and there are several, namely Ms. Quander (whom, as Discogoddess noted was not a founder, but an incorporator--I stand corrected) for her sheer dedication and Ms. Taylor for her scholarship and humanity, whom I identify with--I have come to the conclusion that I fancy myself to be most like Lucy Diggs Stowe.
Like her, I am an educator and a champion of education for our people. As I reread about her illustrious and ground breaking career, I see a woman who fulfilled many of the goals that I set for myself--graduate studies, professor of English, college dean--having done all of this during a time when these things were far more difficult to accomplish. She coupled all of this with a dedication to the goals of the sorority. As drafter of the sorority constitution, I imagine that she was a women with a way with words. I fancy myself to have a silver pen (please, don't tell me I am delusional
). I hope to have the opportunity follow the trails that she "blazed" (if you all don't mind me borrowing the phrase) both in her career and her choice in a sisterhood.
