1917 Executive Council
“Wings of the Future”
Chicago was celebrating its 100th
birthday and hosting the World’s Fair.
July 10th was designated as “Tri Sigma
Sorority Day” at the World’s Fair, and
convention attendees visited the
exhibition as a group that day.

Elected an alumna
representative to
Council for the first
time.
Began the card
index system and
numbering of
members.
A recurring theme of the Convention
stressed the importance of supporting
the war effort and being frugal in
sorority expenses. There was even an
hour-long program on patriotism and
the history of the American flag.

Snippet from
the 1917
Constitution
James Miller Leake was invited to
attend the 22nd Convention but was
unable to do so due to his health. In
lieu of his attendance, he sent a letter
to Mabel Lee Walton, to be read to
attendees during the convention.
Does this sound like
you? Are you a
Boomerang?
Convention attendees in 1977 enjoyed a
tour of Chicago, and a “Fun Night” with
original Sigma skits.
