Organizations Theta Pi Gamma Sorority Theta Pi Gamma Sorority was founded in the fall of 1936. Miss Gwendolyn McCallister, teacher at that time, tried with all her might to impress upon the minds of the girls attending Sparks College the Golden Rule, as she found the basic tools of shorthand, typing, etc., did not fully prepare them for the business world. She knew there was an urgent need for something else, and talked to a group of girls and found them eager to learn something besides the regular subjects that would better fit them for business offices. They decided meetings held either weekly or bi-weekly would be the best idea. The first meeting was held in Miss McCallister ' s apartment. After a few such meetings, it was decided to hold them in homes of the various girls attending these meetings. These meetings covered personal hygiene, proper make-up, proper, tasteful dress, importance of voice and speech, business relations and conduct, importance and art of getting along with people, and many other problems. Certain girls were chosen or volunteered to do some research work on these problems, and conducted sessions which naturally developed into round-table discussions. Miss Mabel Piety, one of the original founders, liked the idea very much, and was very helpful in the organization. It was decided to look for a name for the sorority and the directory in the Illinois State Library was consulted until the name Theta Pi Gamma was found to be a new one. Thus the sorority was named. Alumnae chapters were organized in Springfield and Chicago, with the one in Springfield discontinuing in less than a year. The one in Chicago remained active for a few years. The Shelbj ' ville Alumnae Chapter has remained active ever since being formed. There are twenty-eight members now in the alumnae chapter. Mrs. John McCarty, Filson, Illinois, friend of Miss McCallister ' s, wTOte the words to the sorority songs. Meetings were at first held monthly during the nine-month school term, but during the last year or so have been the fourth Monday in September, December, March, and May. These are dinner meetings held in private dining rooms in restaurants or the Shelby Country Club. F re8ent officers of the Alumnae Chapter are: President Miss Audrey Dannenbarger Vice President Mrs. Lois Sanborn Ethridge Treasurer Mrs. Hazel BroylesCopsy Secretary Mrs. Mable BareKircher Member-at-Large .... Mrs. Emogene Weakley Beube Theta Pi Gamma colors are gold, white, and red. The flower is the red rose. Virginia Rinehart Cresswell « - X MISS McCALLISTER MISS DANNENBARGER
