Meeting archivists from other fraternities has been a joy! Shirley McCann Gee is the Kappa Delta Foundation Archives Manager. Shirley and I have attended the two National Archives Conference for Fraternities and Sororities that have taken place at the University of Illinois and it’s been so good to have met her. Today’s post is courtesy of Kappa Delta Sorority; it’s an article Shirley wrote for The Angelos, Kappa Delta’s magazine.
One day Shirley opened a package that was waiting for her in the archives. It was a scrapbook the donor uncovered while cleaning out her mother and stepfather’s home. The scrapbook belonged to Elizabeth “Bettie” Fay Booth, a member of the Kappa Delta chapter at the University of Southern California. Shirley wrote me about it, “I loved writing the article on Bettie’s scrapbook. You would love sitting down with this scrapbook and spending time with it. I felt as if I had been dropped in a different time period. I’ve not seen any scrapbook so complete, so carefully crafted and created.”
