Kappa Delta Trivia

Great!!

Okay, so this isn't a trivia question but I'm curious about it (and everyone can easily join in).

All four of our founders were wonderful, but do you have a favorite? If so, why? Also, if you had to say you were most like one of them which one would it be?

I've always like Mary Sommerville Sparks the most. No real reason though. Perhaps I liked her picture in my Norman Shiled the best.

I always loved Julia Gardiner Tyler Wilson's life and family connections. To me it always made sense that she would be a founder of the sorority.

But as for who I'm most like, definitely Lenora. From being a writer and poet, to just someone who seems to want to make things happen.

Yes, you can see her kind, gentle nature just by looking at her.

Julia is my own favorite. She's made the most lasting impression on KD, from designing the badge to many other things which I won't mention. She was so creative and, at least to me, seemed a bit mischievious in her younger years. I would love to have known her!

I think I'm most like Lenora too. For some reason I've always felt a strong kinship with her.

When was the Kappa Delta Creed officially adopted and who wrote it?

Annie,

I knew that there were a lot of us on here...just waiting to see how long it would have taken to get the question answered.

General question: How many of you have actually seen an original badge? I had the privilege of seeing one at my initaition when one of the National VPs flew down for it.

Well, you know I've seen it too, 'cause I was there!

I asked Lil about it. It was a replica but it was so cool to see it. It was bigger than I thought it would be. Anyone else?

The Creed was officially adopted in 1917 but I don't know who wrote it.

Why isn't this info in the Norman Shield?

The creed was penned in 1917 by June Davis, chapter editor or Chi at the University of Denver. Ordinary Miracles, page 76

Give the name and chapter of the sister who founded her own bakery, and is now famous across the South for her orange rolls and sausage rolls. ( if you need a hint, look back at some of the old Angelos over the last year)

First one to get it right, I'll send you some of the rolls...
