On March 30, 1912, Rho Chapter was installed.
It had already existed for three
years in the hearts of the girls calling themselves Lambda Alpha,
setting for themselves those standards which they thought would
be pleasing to Alpha Phi.
The installation took place in Rho’s own chapter house, with
Jessie Thompson Balderston, (Zeta) President of the Fraternity,
and Lucile Stowe Learmonth (Theta), representing the General Board.
They were assisted by Abigail Shay (Ratliff)
(Theta), Edith Quayle (Wise) (Zeta), and several Columbus alumnae.
Twenty-seven girls, loyal, enthusiastic, dignified, were received
into the Fraternity. The charter members were:
Katherine Allen (Cowgill), ‘12
Martha Allen (Steffan), ‘15
Anne Anderson (Adams) ‘ 12
Mabel Barr (Metcalf), ‘14
Amy Crane (Renkert), ‘15
Doris Dana (Harsh), ‘12 |
Marguerite Davidson (Bryant), ‘12
Jessie Emerson (Brown), ‘12
Ethel Gilkey (Hatfield), ‘12
Ruth Guenther (Bernbaum), ‘14
Lillian Kern (Griesinger), ‘12 |
