Sigma Alpha Epsilon Sorority?

[TKEmanKM]

I work with a chapter and the only female member that they claim is Lucy Pattie, who was initiated in the 1920's. I guess there was a concern that with all the men fighting in the world war that someone needed to be entrusted with the secrets of SAE and thus they initiated Miss Pattie as someone who could instruct other men in the rules, rituals, and history of SAE if they did not come back. That is the story I have from the chapter men here at Kentucky Epsilon.
