'JS' Jo ANN MCCARTHY ROSEMARY QU IGLEY JEAN HUISKING STEI NSCHNEI DER KAPPA llilllllli-l Pl AN IMPORTANT step was taken toward further developing and unifying leadership of Catholic college women throughout the country in l926, when initial plans were laid for the founding of Kappa Gamma Pi, the National Honor Society of Catholic college women. The desirability of establishing such an organization was discussed at the conference of Catholic Women's colleges held in Louisville, Kentucky, lt was favorably received and during the next two years local chapters were formed within the particular colleges participating. ln i929 the first National Congress was held at Seton Hill College, Greensburg, Pennsylvania. At this congress delegates from twenty- three colleges were in attendance. At this time the Constitution and by-laws were adopted, and officers elected. The purpose of the organization is to set a high standard of character, scholarship, service, and leadership by stressing the importance of intellectual pursuits and the necessity for upholding Catholic educational ideals. Kappa Gamma Pi limits membership to honor graduates of approved Catholic Colleges, and thenurnber elected in one year must not exceed ten percent of the graduating class. Barbara Doti, Jean Huisking Steinschneider, JoAnn McCarthy, Mary Ellen O'Keefe, and Rosemary Quigley were elected from the class of l948. Members admitted to Kappa Gamma Pi during the past five years include: Marguerite Laube Daley Mary Jane McMaster Vivian Fricker Leonard Helen Marchese Eleanor Weisbrod Ruth Weisbrod Darragh lSister Helen Mariel Mary Morris Powell Mafla De LOUl'CleS Balbas ' Eileen Hone St. Andre l-OVGTTB Tiefenbach 54.4 MARY ELLEN O'KEEFE BARBARA DOT' 188
