Rest in Peace, Stephen Sondheim, Beta Theta Pi

Posted on November 27, 2021 by Fran Becque, Ph.D.

Musical genius Stephen Sondheim died on November 26, 2021, at the age of 91. I can watch this clip from Six by Sondheim over and over. Sondheim makes an appearance in the middle of it. The priceless part starts at 2:48, when he plays the role of the producer. “It’s not a tune  you can hum.”

While at Williams College in Williamsport, Massachusetts, Stephen Sondheim became a member of the Zeta Chapter of Beta Theta Pi. The chapter was founded on February 5, 1847. Sondheim is the only Beta Theta Pi member to have been awarded three top entertainment honors –  Oscar, Grammy and Tony. He also has  a Pulitzer Prize, a Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre, and a Laurence Olivier Award.

Sondheim was one of 24 pledges in his pledge class. Sophomore year, along with roommate and fellow Beta Josiah T.S. (Joe) Horton, the campus humorist, he wrote a campus musical, Phinney’s Rainbow. It was the first musical presented by Williams’ undergraduate drama society Cap and Bells. The title was a take off on Finian’s Rainbow and it harkened to Williams’ President James Phinney Baxter III. Sondheim wrote 25 musical numbers for the show.

The plot of the satirical look at campus life centered on the efforts of a Swindlehurst Prep School fraternity, Dogma Nu, to replace the compulsory physical education classes with more house parties. Their motto was “strength through sex.” Two of the songs from the show “How Do I Know?” and “Still Got My Heart” were his first published songs.

The book Stephen Sondheim: A Life, offers a glimpse of the play: “A ‘Goat Room’ was where all the rituals of initiation were performed,” Sondheim said, and so he took Beta Theta Pi’s ceremony “with just a slight smidgen of variation and exaggeration and put it on the stage. All the brothers were horrified, but of course everybody else thought it was screamingly funny; it seemed like a work of the imagination. And I told everybody at the house ‘Don’t get into an uproar. If you don’t tell anybody, it’s real, they won’t believe it.’”

Williams College was then an all-male institution, and the women’s roles were played by men (picture a chorus line of football players in a-line skirts and demure crew neck sweaters). The four performances in April and May of 1948 made a profit of $1,500.

The following year, he wrote the music, lyrics and book for the Cap and Bells production of All That Glitters. It was based on the play Beggar on Horseback by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly; Sondheim received permission from Kaufman to perform the musical at Williams’ Adams Memorial Theater.

Sondheim graduated magna cum laude. He was awarded the Hutchinson Prize, a $3,000 cash award, renewable for a second year, for further study of music. The Prize Committee certainly got their money’s worth!

Sondheim turned 80 on September 15, 2010. To celebrate the occasion, the Henry Miller Theatre located in New York City’s theater district at 124 West 43rd Street, between Broadway and 6th Avenue, was renamed the Stephen Sondheim Theatre.

A celebration was to have taken place for his 90th birthday.  The Take Me to the World concert on Youtube had to suffice during the global pandemic.

On Phi Sigma Sigma’s Founders’ Day

Posted on November 26, 2021 by Fran Becque, Ph.D.
Phi Sigma Sigma was founded at Hunter College on November 26, 1913. Its ten founders are Lillian Gordon Alpern, Josephine Ellison Breakstone, Fay Chertkoff, Estelle Melnick Cole, Jeanette Lipka Furst, Ethel Gordon Kraus, Shirley Cohen Laufer, Claire Wunder McArdle, Rose Sher Seidman and Gwen Zaliels Snyder. The organization was originally called Phi Sigma Omega, but it was discovered that the name was already in use. Five years transpired before a second chapter was installed. In 1918, the Beta Chapter at Tufts University was chartered. It came about because a friend of one of the founders expressed interest in the organization. A third chapter was founded at New York University. Belle Furman Spillman, a 1923 initiate of the chapter at Adelphi University, was elected Archon (President) of her chapter as a junior and served two terms. In 1926, she was elected Grand Vice-Archon. At the 1927 Convention, where she acted as National Tribune, she was elected Grand Archon. A year later she was reelected Archon and started on an inspection tour of Phi Sig chapters

Belle Furman Quitman

At the 1929 Convention, in Washington, Furman had hoped to take a break from sorority work. When the Phi Sig who was elected National Bursar could not assume the office, Quitman stepped in and took the job. On June 29, 1930, Furman married Sidney L. Quitman. Later that year, she was elected  Grand Archon. In 1931, it Rose J. Lidschin said of her:

No one in Phi Sigma Sigma knows as many other members of the fraternity -from the standpoint of sheer numbers as well as from a shrewd knowledge of first-hand fraternity lore- as she. I believe no one in the fraternity wields the vast influence she does and deservedly. Those chapters whose varied difficulties she ironed out on the tour of inspection-those girls who tea-ed and feted her on that long trail from New York to California, via the Atlantic seaboard, and back again, via the Pacific, not omitting a trek into western Canada in the dead of winter- those parents and deans and patronesses and townswomen and fraternity men and women from fraternities other than our own who met and conferred with her during this tour-know her and recognize her worth. Those of our members who have met her, who have dealt with her in any fashion, who have observed her kindly and impartial conduct of national conventions, have come to love her for her charm revealing smile and friendly handclasp as well as for her pure competence, her matter-of-factness, her straightforwardness, her ability to deal with women’s fraternity problems man-fashion. And to many of us who have the welfare and future of the fraternity poignantly at heart, who have sorrowfully seen too many potential leaders go by the board on achieving the matrimonial state, it is a matter of immense satisfaction to reflect that this illustrious daughter of an illustrious chapter continues to have the same strength of conviction, the same singleness of purpose and the same unadulterated love of Phi Sigma Sigma which dominated her undergraduate and her pre-marital career.

In a report of the 1930 convention, Belle’s husband Sidney Quitman was described as, “that angel of a husband-don’t get us started-entertaining the girls in his and Belle’s room with chocolates, cigarettes and a rare sense of humor.” Belle Furman Quitman served as Grand Archon until December 1933 Convention. She was a mother by then.  The Quitmans had two daughters, Edith and Lynn. They were dedicated members of the Germantown Jewish Centre in Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania. Sidney was a member of its first Board of Directors in the 1930s. The library at the Centre is named for the couple; Sidney was the Coordinator of the library and Belle was Chairman of the library committee in the 1950s. In 1961-62, the Quitman Library became the first synagogue library to be accredited by the Jewish Library Association. The couple died in 1997, Sidney on January 29 and Belle on October 12. The couple donated items to the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, a part of the Smithsonian, as well as the Jewish Museum in New York City.

Celebrating Tri Delta on Thanksgiving Eve

Posted on November 24, 2021 by Fran Becque, Ph.D.

Delta Delta Delta was founded at Boston University on November 28, 1888, which fell on the day before Thanksgiving that year. Founders’ Day is celebrated on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

In the fall of 1888, four senior women, who had not joined any of the three women’s fraternities then at Boston University discussed their situation. Eleanor Dorcas Pond ([Mann, M.D.) talked to Sarah Ida Shaw (Martin) and they decided to start a society of their own. Pond suggested that they use a triple Greek letter and Shaw chose the Greek letter Delta. Shaw also developed the mottoes and passwords.

All was finished by Tuesday of Thanksgiving week, 1888, but the two met again on Wednesday afternoon, before leaving for the holiday. They met in the Philological Library at the top of the college building. Shaw and Pond embraced and said “Tri Delta is founded.”

Shaw and Pond were intent on getting the other two unaffiliated seniors to join their organization. Florence Stewart quickly agreed, but Isabel Breed took a little more convincing due to her highly religious nature. When she was given the job of chaplain, she relented and joined her friends. The four are considered founders. Soon they were joined by three juniors, five sophomores, and six freshmen. These women were initiated at the Joy Street home of Emily F. Allen on January 15, 1889.

Tri Delta’s Headquarters is in Dallas, Texas and this impressive display greets visitors.

Happy Founders’ Day, Alpha Sigma Alpha!

Posted on November 15, 2021 by Fran Becque, Ph.D.

Alpha Sigma Alpha was founded on November 15, 1901 at the State Female Normal School (now Longwood University) in Farmville, Virginia. Its founders had been asked to join some of the other sororities on campus, but they wanted to stay together. The five, Virginia Lee Boyd (Noell), Juliette Jefferson Hundley (Gilliam), Calva Hamlet Watson (Wootton), Louise Burks Cox (Carper) and Mary Williamson Hundley, started their own sorority; they called it Alpha Sigma Alpha.

In 1921, the 20th anniversary of the founding of the sorority was marked by a convention at the Hotel Muehlebach in Kansas City.

“Probably no other organization in the Hellenic world can boast, as Alpha Sigma Alpha can, of having present at Convention a member of the faculty from each campus where it has a chapter.” I think these are the faculty members pictured below.

The Hotel Muehlebach was praised in The Phoenix article:

The management gave every detail of the arrangements entrusted to them such personal attention that everyone is most enthusiastic over the hospitality of this great hotel. The parlors placed at the disposal of the Sorority for the business meetings and imitation were all that could be desired and the personal attention given by the matire d’hôtel to the Anniversary Banquet created a most favorable comment.

In addition to the business meetings, the convention included a session with the advisors, a model initiation, a banquet with foods in the sorority colors and a stunt show.

As was common during the time, there was a Stunt Show. The Zeta Zetas from the State Teacher’s College at Warrensburg (now the University of Central Missouri) were “Follies.” Giving a nod to the Ziegfeld Follies, the women wore “brilliant red and white” costumes. They sang and danced to original songs about the sorority. One thinks that much time and talent went into this effort and they were called back for an encore. Photographers took “flashlights of several of the stunts for the pictorial sections of the city papers and some of them are very artistic.”

Hazel Platt, the delegate from the Nu Chapter at Shorter College in Georgia wrote:

The convention has brought the Chapters together in a relationship more sisterly than we have felt before. We who were present at the meetings and the banquet now are acquainted with girls in other chapters; it creates a real national feeling. Especially do we of one of the western chapters feel this closer relationship because there is so great a distance in miles between the eastern chapters and us.

A great deal was gained through the meeting of our National Officers, whom we know through the medium of letters but seldom meet.

The informal discussions during the meetings were helpful in that we discovered that other girls, our sisters, are confronted by problems similar to ours.

We of Nu appreciate our chapter house more than ever since we have learned that there are so few chapters that maintain a house.

Gertrude Burch Murchison on Sigma Gamma Rho, Sorority, Inc.’s Founders’ Day

Posted on November 12, 2021 by Fran Becque, Ph.D.

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was founded on November 12, 1922, in Indianapolis, Indiana by seven young Black school teachers. Sigma Gamma Rho’s founders are Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Mary Lou Allison Little, Vivian White Marbury, Bessie M. Downey Martin, Cubena McClure, Hattie Mae Dulin Redford, and Dorothy Hanley Whiteside. 

The first Editor in Chief of The Aurora, Sigma Gamma Rho’s official communication organ, was Gertrude Murchison. A graduate of Atlanta University, she was a member of the Gamma Sigma Chapter. She began her editorial duties in 1927.

On September 14, 1925, Gertrude Ware Burch married John Prescott Murchison, an initiate of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. The ceremony was at 8 p.m. in the home of the bride’s father in Atlanta. It took place in the living room “room before an altar improvised of foliage and floor baskets of white roses softly illuminated by white tapers.”

The bride was “was radiantly lovely in a beautiful gown of lustrous white satin, covered with brocaded georgette. Her veil was caught with a wreath of orange blossoms and she carried a shower bouquet of bride’s roses and valley lilies.”

The bridegroom earned a B.A. from Howard University and a Master’s from Columbia University. A member of the Fraternity’s Supreme Council, he was the first Editor in Chief of The Oracle. He served in that position from 1924-1927.

Among the out-of-town guests were W.S. Burke, and Doctors J.B. Garrett, George Branch and C. Johnson,” all fraternity brothers of the groom and all of the staff, government hospital, Tuskegee, Alabama.”

I spent a goodly amount of time looking on ancestry.com and the web for more information about Gertrude Burch Murchison. I think the couple may have had three children and divorced before he remarried in the late 1930s. John Prescott Murchinson died in 1984. I also think she remarried and her name became Gertrude Lovinggood.

Edith “Eli” Mahier on Gamma Phi Beta’s Founding Day #NotableSororityWomen

Posted on November 11, 2021 by Fran Becque, Ph.D.

The first social event Frances Haven (Moss) attended after enrolling in Syracuse University in 1874 was a church oyster supper. Her father, Dr. Erastus Otis Haven, was recently elected Chancellor of the university. At that supper, she met the man who would become her husband, Charles Melville Moss. She also met two members of Alpha Phi, a women’s fraternity founded at Syracuse in October of 1872. Instead of accepting the invitation to join Alpha Phi which had been offered to her, she joined with three other women – Mary A. Bingham (Willoughby), E. Adeline Curtis, and Helen M. Dodge (Ferguson) –  and they founded an organization of their own. The date was November 11, 1874. The organization is Gamma Phi Beta, the first of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) organizations to use the term “sorority;” Syracuse Latin professor Frank Smalley suggested the word to the young women.

Edith Mahier

Edith Albina Mahier became a member of Gamma Phi Beta at the University of Oklahoma after she graduated from Sophie Newcomb College in New Orleans. Her friends called her “Eli” and “Ely.”She graduated from Newcomb in 1916 and studied with Ellsworth Woodward. Mahier was proud of her Newcomb degree:

not only because Newcomb won the Grand Prize in the San Francisco Exposition but because of the faith I have in the work of that school and in its director Ellsworth Woodward who inspires one with the most wonderful spirit and enthusiasm and with even a sort of divine power. When ambition wanes I have only to think of Mr. Woodward, or those hallowed sports at Newcomb in order to dream dreams and to paint pictures.

After graduation, she worked as an illustrator for a New Orleans newspaper. She took a job teaching art at the University of Oklahoma in 1917.  A letter to the Crescent of Gamma Phi Beta in 1921 included this information:

I was a ‘jack of all trades,’ while in the art school, doing various kinds of work from clay modeling to can labels but my favorite pastime is picture making. ‘The Fountain of Youth’ is a picture painted for Psi Chapter. Greek maidens are gathered about a fountain which embodies the spirit of the four founders. To the causal observer it is only a portrayal of youth and joy but to the imitate it contains all that we hold most dear. Little dancing figures appearing from and disappearing into a misty background represent the pledges and alumnae while those in the college chapter are gathered around the fountain.

The Crescent   included some of her drawings that were part of a proposed mural for a bank.

She painted a mural above the fireplace in the University of Oklahoma Gamma Phi house, according to an account in a 1930 Crescent. While at Oklahoma she helped develop the talent of the Kiowa Six – the artists Spencer Asah, James Auchiah, Jack Hokeah, Stephen Mopope, Monroe Tsatoke and Lois Smoky.

She retired from teaching in 1963 and moved to Natchez, Mississippi to be near her sister. Mahier died in 1967.

Happy Founders’ Day, Sigma Kappa!

Posted on November 9, 2021 by Fran Becque, Ph.D.

Sigma Kappa was founded on November 9, 1874, by five young women. They were the only females enrolled at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. The group received a letter from the faculty approving the organization’s petition, which included a constitution and bylaws.

The five founders of Sigma Kappa are Mary Low Carver, Elizabeth Gorham Hoag, Ida Fuller Pierce, Louise Helen Coburn and Frances Mann Hall. In Sigma Kappa’s first constitution, membership in Sigma Kappa was limited to 25 women. The original chapter is known as the Alpha chapter. After Alpha chapter’s membership reached 25, a Beta chapter was formed. A Gamma chapter soon followed. Although there were some early joint meetings, the members did not think it feasible to continue that way. In 1893, a vote was taken to limit Alpha chapter to 25 members and to stop Beta and Gamma initiations. In due time, Beta and Gamma disappeared.

At the 1918 convention, the Maine Sea Coast Mission was chosen as Sigma Kappa’s first national philanthropy. The decision honored Sigma Kappa’s founding in Maine as well as the members who volunteered in support of this missionary society. Sigma Kappas still support the Maine Sea Coast Mission. Through the Sigma Kappa Foundation, members support the mission’s Christmas program, emergency relief program and scholarships. 

This fall, the Maine Seacoast Mission honored Sigma Kappa with the Sunbeam Award.

After a friend visited Maine a few years ago, she sent me a picture of the Sigma Kappa rug from Sadie’s Winter Dream: Fishermen’s Wives & Maine Seacoast Mission Hooked Rugs 1923-1938. It piqued my curiosity.

The March 1926 Sigma Kappa Triangle tells this story of the Maine Seacoast rug industry. It was a way to help the residents earn money, according to this account by Alice M. Peasley:

What seems to be in part of a solution of the problem for a few of them is the rug industry, which grew out of a casual incident. A woman, in deep need, came to me to ask if I knew of some way in which she might save her mortgaged home. On being questioned as to her resources she said that there was not much of anything that she could do which had commercial value.

She had hooked some small rugs, but did not think that they amounted to much. I saw the rugs and found that the colors were good and that the the hooking was exceptionally fine. The floral was done in low relief, which I had not seen for years. The rugs sold readily. And she was able to pay the over-due interest. This woman and some others began to hook, and by summer we sold $200 worth of rugs during our summer speaking trip among the supporters of the mission. 

March 1926 Triangle

Sadie’s Winter Dream: Fishermen’s Wives & Maine Seacoast Mission Hooked Rugs 1923-1938 includes this picture of the “Sigma Kappa rug,” so called because it was purchased by a Sigma Kappa and later it was given to the Seacoast Mission. The rug is titles House at West Quoddy Head

Zeta Chapter on Alpha Sigma Tau’s Founders’ Day

Posted on November 4, 2021 by Fran Becque, Ph.D.

On November 4, 1899, eight young women, Mable Chase, Ruth Dutcher, May Gephart, Harriet Marx, Eva O’Keefe, Adriance Rice, Helene Rice, and Mayene Tracy, formed a sorority at the Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University) in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Alpha Sigma Tau was the name they chose. The organization’s first national convention took place in 1925.

Alpha Sigma Tau’s oldest, continuous chapter, the sixth chapter, celebrated a centennial this year. Located at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania, the Zeta Chapter was chartered 1n early April 1921.

The Mysterious Eight, a local organization at Lock Haven Normal College, applied for an Alpha Sigma Tau charter. A national officer and an alumna from the Alpha Chapter performed the pledging ceremony on April 7, 1921. The women were initiated on April 8.

Lock Haven was, at the time, a two-year teacher’s college and the chapter could not be represented at convention until the institution became a four-year one. The first convention at which the chapter had a delegate was Alpha Sigma Tau’s third convention in 1928.

Madge Oberholtzer, Pi Beta Phi, #NotableSororityWomen

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Fran Becque, Ph.D.

Madge Oberholtzer was an initiate of the Indiana Gamma Chapter of Pi Beta Phi at Butler College (now University). Her death helped bring about the downfall of D.C. Stephenson and the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana. Its author is an alumna of the Purdue Pi Phi chapter and she has included extensive footnotes to shed light on Oberholtzer’s life. It is a compelling story.

Madge is available on amazon and from the Irvington Historical Society.

Charlotte Halsema Ottinger contacted me more than a decade ago looking for more information for a program she was doing for the Pi Beta Phi Indianapolis Alumnae Club. She mentioned Madge Oberholtzer and her death. I was fascinated.

Madge

Madge Oberholtzer

Oberholtzer’s story is a sad one, but through her death on April 14, 1925, she played a role in the rapid decline of the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana which took place in the 1920s. David Curtiss Stephenson, Grand Dragon of the Indiana Branch of the Ku Klux Klan, crossed paths with her when Oberholtzer was manager of the Indiana Young People’s Reading Circle, a special section of the Indiana Department of Public Instruction. The cause of death was a staph infection attributable to the bites Stephenson inflicted while raping her. During the trial her Pi Phi sisters sat in the courtroom, making the trek from Irvington to Noblesville, where the trial was held. Stephenson was convicted of second-degree murder on November 14, 1925.

Ottinger’s book, Madge, The life and times of Madge Oberholtzer, the young Irvington woman who brought down D.C. Stephenson and the Ku Klux Klan, reflects more than a decade of meticulous research. The almost 500-page book contains robust footnotes, pictures and a thorough examination of the events.

Ottinger lives in the Irvington neighborhood where both Stephenson and Oberholtzer lived. I have wonderful memories of a tour of Irvington she led and I looked forward to her emails telling me of Madge’s progress. I sat next to her at her chapter’s centennial and I brought my copy of Madge her to sign.
