When I went through rush (as it was known in those days) at Syracuse, I remember being told that Gamma Phi's founders didn't particularly care for the founders of another society on the campus. I thought that a bit odd to say, but as I later learned, it was the truth.

Frances Haven Moss reflected on the founding in a 1912 Crescent article that is today's blog post, if you're interested in reading it.

Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy reading your history posts.

Frances's great-great-great granddaughter was just elected to the executive board of her chapter, on Founders Day!

What wonderful news about Frances's GGGGD! How exciting it must be all the way around - as a member to have connections to a Founder and for a chapter to have a Founder's true legacy in the chapter!
