Mary McLeod Bethune is such a role model. I never knew she was a DST, though. She did SO much great work for her students, and persevered through so much! Thanks for the info, Senusret!

I had the opportunity to tour her house this summer, which is now historically preserved and holds some type of archive as well. Her bed room and office were decorated with all sorts of elephants motifs to signify her membership. Our tour guide said she was an honorary initiate?

I toured Bethune-Cookman College and Soror Bethune's house in 2000. We took photos by some of the elephants that were outside her home, if memory serves me correctly.

She is honorary.
