I believe all of the Alpha founders' graves are located and some sort of marker is placed there. I'm having a hard time finding photos, but will try later.

For Alpha Phi Omega...

I should have probably included in the initial post the situation for Alpha Phi Omega. Five of the Fourteen founders have been located, two are actually in the same cemetery. The primary founder's grave does mention Alpha Phi Omega, the other four do not, as far as I can find out.

I really wish we would do something for all of our founders (Alpha Phi).
I think what ZTA did was really amazing.
I'm also sad that we dont even know where some of our founders are buried!

Some of the Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma founders are buried in the Monmouth Cemetery. Inez Smith Soule is buried there and her grave is marked as a founder of Pi Phi.

Anna Elizabeth Willits and Minnie Moore Stewart are also buried there. I don't know if they have a special Kappa marker or not.

There may be others. I haven't looked for them.

Theta Phi Alpha's Founders

I know for sure that TPA knows where three of our founders are buried--we went to the cemetery in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where Katrina Caughey Ward, Camilla Ryan Sutherland, and May C. Ryan are buried and put white roses at their graves this past July at our Centennial Convention. It was SO moving and powerful!

I believe there was talk of Otilia Leuchtweis O'Hara being buried in New York state, but I am not sure about that.

Aside from the flowers we put, though, there was no mention of Theta Phi Alpha.
