Frances Holt was a student at Ohio Wesleyan University in the 1920s. She was a sister of Kappa Gamma Chi when the alpha chapter rolled over into Chi Omega at Ohio Wesleyan in 1925.

Along with being a sister, she was also Vice President of the class of 1926.

Phyllis Jenkins Hill is a Kappa sister who went to Emerson in 1917. 

She was born in 1895. She and her family lived most of their lives in MA, mostly in Brockton and Whitman. Her husband’s name was Edwin Hill. They had a daughter, Nancy, and a son, William. William died in 2006. Here’s his obituary. 

Here is the Hill family entry from the 1930 Federal Census:
 

Mrs. Helena Cook Beale was another Kappa who graduated from Emerson and later received an honorary degree from the college. Her graduation was in 1925 and received her honorary degree in 1962. 

She was born in 1903 and lived in North Scituate, MA. She and her husband Charles had two sons, Arthur and Robert. Her son obert just recently passed away. You can read his obituary here. 

She died in 2000, which means she lived to be 97 years old. 

Emerson has changed its alumni directory, which makes most, if not all, of my research at a standstill for the moment. I can no longer find out which women of Emerson were related to Kappa. I was told this may or may not be fixed one day, but not at the moment.

I am always looking for more leads, photos, and other information, so send along anything you have! You can email me at annie . abbondante (at) gmail. com
