Alpha Delt House Has Civil War History
JEAN KAUFMANN
This is another in a series of articles to acquaint the campus with the various organized houses, their members, officers, and histories.
Tau chapter of Alpha Delta Pi was installed at the University May 12, 1912, exactly 61 years after the founding of the national sorority at Wesleyan Female college, Macon, Ga.
The chapter house, 1145 Louisiana street, was originally an underground railway station during the Civil War. One of the first houses on Mount Oread, it often was referred by Lawrence persons as "Bassett's Folly," but to slaves it was a vital step along the path to freedom.
***
In 1890, fire destroyed the house, leaving only the stairway. The house was rebuilt around the stairway, and a third floor was added. The Alpha Delt's have occupied the house since 1916, and the historic staircase still stands.
Traditional sorority parties include a dance given by pledges for upperclassmen, a Founder's day banquet, a mothers' and fathers' day party, and a senior dinner.
The Alpha Delt pin is diamond shaped, with jewels surrounding the black enamel. The violet is the Alpha Delt flower, and blue and white are it colors.
Mrs. Lena Horner, housemother, has been with Tau chapter for two years.
Jean Kaufmann is president.
Other officers are Lucile Land,
vice-president; Eloise Crandall, record-
ing secretary; Marjorie Shryck,
corresponding secretary; Marian
Whole, chapter reporter; Mary
Louise Dickinson, chaplain;
and Suzanna Logsdon, historian.
