Memorial Services
The first memorial service at a Convention took place in 1924. It honored the passing of Eunice Adeline Curtis (Syracuse, 1874), the second Founder to die. The same memorial service is still performed at every Convention to honor Gamma Phi Beta members who have passed away. Today, those who attend memorial services wear white ritual attire to mark the importance of the occasion.
