n April 19, 1947, seven of our 11 Founders were in attendance at Alpha-Syracuse University’s International Reunion Day. Surprisingly, this was their first reunion in over 42 years, after not having met all together since 1905! Though Emily Helen Butterfield did not join them, she was celebrating International Reunion Day as well. A resident of Michigan, she attended the IRD celebration hosted by Alpha Beta-University of Michigan. 28 quarterly | fall 2014
