1912
First Gamma Phi Beta National Panhellenic Conference Chairman
FIRST TIME A GAMMA PHI BETA SERVED AS THE NATIONAL PANHELLENIC CONFERENCE CHAIRMAN
More than a century ago, Lillian Thompson (Michigan, 1892)
served as Gamma Phi Beta’s first National Panhellenic Conference (NPC)
Chairman, completing her term in 1913. The leadership of NPC is determined
through a rotation process based on the group’s date of entrance into NPC.
In
addition to Lillian, two other Gamma Phi Betas have served in this role:
Beatrice Locke Hogan (Oregon, 1912) from 1955-57 and Betty Ahlemeyer Quick from
2005-07. A Gamma Phi Beta will again serve as NPC Chairman in 2055.
