From collection Gamma Phi Beta Timeline List
Grand President Penelope M. Simonson (California-Berkeley, 1909) presented a bronze plaque to Syracuse University’s Vice Chancellor Finla Crawford in November 1949, in memory of Gamma Phi Beta’s four Founders to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of its founding. The dedication ceremony was held in Hendricks Chapel on the university campus and was attended by the Sorority’s officers, members of Alpha Chapter (Syracuse), and many distinguished Syracuse alumnae. The plaque was to be placed in the Women’s Building, then under construction. The plaque is still affixed to the Women’s Building, next to the second-floor entrance.
