In the process of compiling large amounts of information, there is a moment when I question my sanity. The point comes somewhere in the midst of spending too much time in research having too little to show for it, with a mound of unanswered questions smack dab in the middle of the road to the end. That is where I stand today. My goal was to compile a state by state guide to all Greek-letter organization (GLO) related sites.
I started by putting together a spreadsheet of all the founders of all the National Panhellenic Conference organizations. More than 175 names were on that list. I searched the books in my library. I googled. I found myself in many findagravecom and ancestrycom rabbit holes. I asked for help from friends with access to the information for their own GLO.
Twelve for certain I knew, those being the Pi Beta Phi founders. I knew some of the Kappa Kappa Gamma founders were buried in the small cemetery in Monmouth, Illinois, where a number of Pi Phi founders are laid to rest. I was surprised to find out that one of the Alpha Xi Delta founders is buried there, too.
Although I just returned from a visit to the Student Life Archives at the University of Illinois, I was on another mission there and did not have time to research this question. Nor did I have to visit the grave of Frances Haven Moss, the Gamma Phi Beta founder who is buried in the cemetery near campus.
Who would guess that in a cemetery in Pasadena, California, far from Farmville, Virginia, and Syracuse, New York, are the graves of a Kappa Delta founder and Alpha Phi founder?
I added birth and death dates, if I could find them. Sometimes I only found one, so the other is an x; “x-1942” means that I do not know when she was born, but she died in 1942. On my spreadsheet, I have a column for husband and marriage date, if I came across that information. I also have a column for states in which she lived, if I found that info. I did not include that information here.
My Chi Omega friends managed to find Mary Love Collins’ grave in a small town in Pennsylvania. That made me start on having the NPC Chairmen listed here, too. After all, last month I wrote about my quest to find Amy Burnham Onken’s grave. She was Pi Phi’s Grand President for more than years. She was NPC Chairman, so I’ve added her, too.
I intend this to be a working document. I welcome all additions and corrections. I’d love to add information for the other GLOs . Send any corrections or additions to franbecque at hotmail.

The graves of all Alpha Gamma Delta founders’ should be documented at IHQ. About 15 years ago, we added a founders medallion to each grave with a ceremony, so locations should be documented.
