Delta Gamma Fraternity Mourns the Loss of Collegiate Member Madeleine Eiss 

Columbus, Ohio [July 5, 2022] – It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Theta Beta-Case member, Madeleine Eiss, on June 28, 2022. 

An undergraduate student at Case Western Reserve, Madeleine was a neurosciences major who hoped to attend medical school. Madeleine joined Delta Gamma this spring. Madeleine was known for her kindness, sense of humor and competitive spirit. 

Case Western Reserve University’s article reads, “Ask people about Madeleine ‘Maddie’ Eiss and one of the first words you’ll hear is ‘fierce.’ It reflected her grit and competitive nature on the tennis court—and, even more, her commitment to those lucky enough to call her a friend.” 

Fraternity President Dr. Amy R. Ayres, Alpha Iota-Oklahoma, shared “Delta Gamma Fraternity is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of collegian Madeleine Eiss. Our sisterhood mourns her loss. We send our heartfelt condolences to Madeleine’s family and her Case Western sisters. We are holding the Theta Beta chapter of Delta Gamma close to our heart during this difficult time.”

Eighty Years of the Delta Gamma Executive Offices

Painting of Anna Boyd, Mary Comfort and Eva Webb by Jason Bouldin, 1997.

For the first 69 years of its history, Delta Gamma Fraternity was a completely volunteer-run organization. All administrative work from membership records to managing ANCHORA subscriptions was done out of the personal homes of members. One of the longest tenures was held by Leulah Judson Hawley, Lambda-Minnesota. She served from 1915 to 1934 as the Secretary-Editor and is credited with making the earliest effort to centralize recording keeping and support services of the organization. All this work was done out of her own home in Minneapolis, Minnesota. By 1942, it was clear that Delta Gamma needed permanent office space. The first paid staff member, Roberta Abernethy, Epsilon-Ohio State, was hired under the titled Executive Secretary. That same year she and her one assistant, Jean Pierce Dredge, Epsilon-Ohio State, opened the Delta Gamma Central Office in two rented rooms in the American Insurance Union Citadel (now the LeVeque Tower) located in downtown Columbus, Ohio. The office would move twice ending with its current location in a suburb of Columbus. 2022 marks 80 years of Delta Gamma having a dedicated office. This timeline weaves through the history of Executive Offices, the spaces it has occupied, and just a few of the people who have made the work accomplished there possible.

1873: Anna Boyd, Mary Comfort and Eva Webb form the Delta Gamma Fraternity while attending the Lewis School in Oxford, Mississippi.

Nancy Brown Woolett Phi-Colorado served as Fraternity President from 1922-1928. c.1922
Leulah Judson Hawley, Lambda-Minnesota 1903.

1915: Leulah Judson Hawley, Lambda-Minnesota served as Secretary-Editor until her passing in 1934. Her home in Minneapolis, for all intents and purposes, served as a “centralized office” for the fraternity. During her tenure membership reaches 9,000.  

1924: Fraternity President Nancy Brown Woolett, Phi-Colorado urged that a permanent headquarters be established. In her address to Convention, she talked at length about this issue stating, “I hope we may have time for the consideration formally or informally, on the subject of a National Centralized office. A place where all equipment may be installed, all files kept, and where we may have the services of a full-time secretary.” Going on to note the difficulties in doing such work out of the homes of volunteers she stated, “Many of our sister fraternities have met this problem by establishing a more or less permanent office.”

1942: The Convention body voted to establish a Central Office. Roberta Abernethy, Epsilon-Ohio State was hired as the first paid staff member. With her assistant, Jean Peirce Dredge, Epsilon-Ohio State, they opened the Delta Gamma Central Office in two rented rooms at 50 W. Broad Street. Delta Gamma was one of the last women’s Greek organizations to have a national headquarters.

Roberta Abernethy, Epsilon-Ohio State was initiated in 1923 and served on Council as First Vice-President from 1938-1942. She was the former Secretary of the College of Art and Sciences at Ohio State University before being hired as the first Executive Secretary at Delta Gamma in 1942. She would hold this role for 30 years.

1948: Third room is added to the Central Office due to increasing staff and workload.

1949: Publications department was added to the Central Office. Responsibilities included editing the ANCHORA which had up to this point been done out of the personal home of the editor. This was the precursor of today's marketing and communications department.

The duty of editing the ANCHORA has gone through several phases as detailed in this article from the November 1949 issue. Frances Lewis Stevenson, Zeta-Albion was the first editor after this responsibility was shifted to the Central Office.  

1951: Delta Gamma Foundation is incorporated in Ohio.

1955: The number of staff and workload increased significantly, and larger office space was needed. Funding had begun to construct a headquarters, in the interim the Central Office moved to 1820 Northwest Boulevard.

It was dubbed the Anchor In.
