The House

The chapter house for Beta Zeta came to life in the spring of 1939.  The chapter used the house before its dedication for the first time when they gave their pledge formal in the house even though they were not pledges any more.  They had postponed the formal until they could give it in the house.

A week later the house was formally opened and Beta Zeta hosted a reception for the student body and faculty, alumnae and guests. The chapter house was decorated by Fraternity President Marguerite Winant.  She planned color schemes and selected and ordered all the furniture.  Everyone was happy and grateful for the quality of the house and praised the work of their Granville patronesses, Miss Badnenoch, Miss Barr, Mrs. DeWeerd and Mrs. Titus who kept the whole project focused and on track.
