Ok you girls are duds. I dare you all to get busy and find a Gamma Phi from the notable Gamma Phis list and google up a good quote to inspire us or make us laugh or just introduce us to a sister of note!
Now here's an interesting one from Dr. Erastus O. Haven, who of course was the father of Frances E. Haven, and who served as a bishop in the Methodist Church is in last years. He was traveling in the South trying to expand the Methodist Church and preaching against discrimination and bigotry. Here he is writing to Frances and Rev. Charles Moss (Frances' hubby and designer of the famed crescent and pearls!) about his directives to the missionaries...
"You are not to build up a Northern Church. If I were you I would interest myself in the welfare of Texas, seek the prosperity of Texas. I would swear by Texas!" - E.O. Haven

Yup, even though I now live in Connecticut, I am a Texan through and through.

So if you want me to share...get busy....
