I'm sure Nut was right since mine was just a guess

Awww, well -- Minnie Mae Prescott was a love, but the other woman pre-dates her.

eta: Gladys Pugh Redd, NPC Chairman 1935-37, Minnie Mae Prescott 1981-83

Wow, sorry for being away so long!

Nut is correct. It was Gladys Pugh Redd.

Thanks for joining in, Nut! I love when other NPCers drop in to participate!


Ta Kala got the other question correct. Georgia O'Keefe was appointed to bring ritual suggestions from Beta chapter to the Grand Chapter. This was in 1905. Good going, Ta Kala!


My questions don't generally come from Ordinary Miracles. I'm fortunate to have a copy of The History of Kappa Delta Sorority 1897-1972 as well as a 1901 State Female Normal School yearbook. The histories are really hard to find because they were only printed for chapters not individuals. I search ebay and abebooks constantly. About a month ago there was a history on ebay but it was only volume 1 and the seller was asking $400 for it! Otherwise, I would have posted it here.

So....how about an easy question?

Which came first; the current pledge pin or the second degree pin?

[Katmandu]

Ooooo I think I know!

The Second Degree pin was adopted during the first decade, so 1907 or prior.

The First Degree pledge pin was approved in 1916.

Does this mean I ask a question?

[Leslie Anne]

Bingo, Katmandu!

You can ask a question whenever you'd like. Please, post away!

[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??
