KKG Fraternity Is 90 Years Old

Kappa Kappa Gamma Alumnae of Miami observed the fraternity's Founders Day, Oct. 15, at a noon luncheon at the County Club of Coral Gables. K.K.G. is celebrating its 90th year. There were presentations of awards, a skit and a reception welcoming new Delta Kappa pledges, the fraternity's chapter at the University of Miami. Betty Batcheller Brown was toast mistress at the luncheon progam; Carol Engles Harmon gave the welcome, Betty Snively Poor presented the guests; Elizabeth Ballard Dupuis presented the awards. Isable Hanson Matthews and Virginia Dodge McDougal put on the skit and the active chapter gave the group singing with Margaret Turner Fiske at the piano. Doris Page Turner was responsible for the decorations and over all chairmen are Ethel Kroger Beckman and Joy Clarke Anderson. Kappa Kappa Gamma initiated the first council form of government to women's fraternities. They were the first to publish a national magazine, first to found a Panhellenic Convention and first to go International in scope. The Miami group was formed in 1925 from new resident Kappas in the area. Their express purpose was to found a chapter at the then budding University of Miami. Mostly Gableites Its founders were mostly Coral Gables women, and it became the first chartered women's group on campus, Lambda Phi, organized in 1926. In 1938, the Delta Gamma Chapter of K.K.G. was installed on campus. They are now a part and parcel of the new Panhellenic Building, named the Mary B. Merritt in honor of the first Dean of Women who was appointed in 1926 and served through 1955. Kappas aims are high and her sisterhood is strong. They feel that sororities stimulate and promote high scholastic and cultural living in their chapters. They teach girls to assume a responsibility toward interests in their group; to be conservative in dress, and speech and to learn to develop through participation in all college has to offer.
