Glacier National Park 22nd National Convention

The Many Glacier Hotel threw a "Houseparty" themed convention, welcoming 420 attendees. The convention transcript (established at the 1915 convention) was called "The Glacier Gossip." Favors were a wood-covered autograph book. Two Alpha Chi members were welcomed into the Blackfeet Native American tribe: Minerva Osborn Donald (Pi, University of California, Berkeley) became Princess Long-time Mountain Woman, and Beatrice Herron Brown (Alpha, DePauw University) became Princess Start Woman. The position of director was established for central office. Hannah Keenan (Alpha, DePauwn University), daughter of Founder Bessie Grooms Keenan, was hired in this position and served for 29 years.
