Here are the graves of our three founders:

Mary Elizabeth Myrick Daniel has a quatrefoil-shaped gravestone in Oakgrove Cemetery (Americus, GA):

Martha Bibb Hardaway Redding also has a marking of a quatrefoil-shaped gravestone at Riverside Cemetery (Macon, GA):

Really? Quatrefoil-shaped graves?! I hope the grave diggers were paid extra, 'cause that would be one hell of a hole to dig.



Sorry. I couldn't resist.

Haha, I see. Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, it would be terribly hard to dig quatrefoil-shaped graves. Anyone who can do that deserves a raise!

I only found one of Sigma Kappa's five founders on a quick google for headstones. Here is Mary Low Carver's gravesite (on the left, top and bottom):

Flowers were placed at the grave of Frances E. Haven Moss, in honor of Founders Day 2013 and the centennial of Omicron Chapter at the University of Illinois. Frances is also considered a founder of Omicron chapter (her husband was a professor at Illinois).
