Kappa Alpha Theta, Toledo Alumni Chapter records

Identifier: MS-0703

Collection Organization

The Toledo Alumnae Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta collection contains records dating from 1922 to 1993. Of research interest are the bylaws and minutes which include information on the Chapter's organization, activities, projects and policies. The minutes date from 1922 to 1993, however several gaps occur; between 1938 and 1942, 1944 and 1949, 1971 and 1973, and 1983 to 1993. Histories of the Chapter written by members are also very helpful to the researcher. Correspondence, scattered throughout the early years and more complete from 1969 to 1986, is largely from the Chapter officers to members.

The subject files contain specific information about the Chapter's community and philanthropic activities, in particular, the Miami Children's Center. These files date from the 1960s-1970s. Also included in the subject files are rush recommendations and reports, and Founders' Day programs. Chapter, officer and committee reports which date from the 1940s through the 1970s, provide details on the duties and activities of the Chapter, its officers and such committees as the sewing committee, local projects committee and special events committee. Illustrating activities and functions of the district and national offices of Kappa Alpha Theta are the reports from the District, Grand Conventions, and Panhellenic Council. These reports also date from the 1940s through the 1970s. The Chapter's treasurer's reports provide information on the income and expenses incurred by the Chapter in implementing their goals and objectives and these date from 1958 to 1981.

More general information about the Chapter can be found in the yearbooks (1936-1986), scrapbooks (1940-1980), newsclippings (1945-1993), newsletters and news releases (1957-1993). A few photographs and negatives are included which document Founders' Day activities and community projects.
