Kappa Delta Trivia

[Katmandu]

Hmmmmm. My resources are limited, but fun......

Two questions, because one may have already been asked (I have looked at all the thread, but not in the past few days and may have missed one of these).


Who wrote the Kappa Delta Creed and what chapter was she from?

When was the Kappa Delta Pledge Manual first published?

[Leslie Anne]

Good questions, Katmandu.

I think Sydney and Daffy already answered the one about the Creed. As for the first KD pledge manual, I don't know.

Anyone??

[Katmandu]

Hope everyone had a wonderful Founder's Day!

I suspected one of the questions had been answered, but couldn't seem to find it, so put in two. Yes, the creed was written by Charlotte Long, Omega Xi, Cincinnati and adopted in 1917 at the 13th Convention in Birmingham.

Pledge Manual published, anyone?

The Kappa Delta Pledge Manual was compiled in 1935 by Pauline Reynolds.

[Katmandu]

Yes! 1935 is correct.

I just got a copy of the 1947 Pledge Manual, and it is wonderful. It is the size of an Angelos, and has some great information and "atmosphere", in addition to the typical information you would expect from a pledge manual. There are photos of NPC member and pledge pins (several of which no longer exist or were absorbed into other GLOs) a great KD history section and an extensive Gracious Living section that tells (among other things) how to order dinner in a fine restaurant while on a date, proper behavior at an opera, and how much to tip Red Caps (10 cents per bag). I believe the 1947 edition is the third edition---1935, 1943 and 1947. (at least those are the editions listed)

I would love to get a copy of the 1935 edition.
