I wanted to let sisters know that they can post interesting Chapter Items here for bidding.
There's a book about ADPi at Southwestern University on ebay right now. Its history is taken from letters from the Founders 1904-1909, and is item #330410573438.
It sounds terribly interesting, so I really hope a sister gets it!
" In 1909, Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, celebrated its first Homecoming. It was the largest gathering of alumni, students and faculty in the 35-year history of the school. Early Price, a member of the founding chapter of Alpha Delta Pi and her sororoity sisters were there. This book is her story, based on a collection of over 500 letters found by her granddaughter that describe the Price family's close ties to each other, the town they helped build and the university that shaped their lives a hundred years ago.
An abandoned box of documents found in a dark closet has been painstakingly transformed into a full color memoir laid out in the manner of a scrapbook kept by a young girl in early 1900s Georgetown. The title is taken from the hymn, "Blest Be the Tie" sung at Southwestern's first Homecoming in 1909--a song that describes Early Price's close association with her family, the town she called home and deep attachment to the school.
