Alpha Mu Charter Members 1922 Photograph
This photograph from the 1948 edition of the history shows the charter members of the Alpha Mu (Indiana University) chapter. Dora Bentley (bottom row, second from right) had graduated in 1921 but was initiated as part of the charter group. She was one of the four original members of the Sigma Beta Upsilon local group that petitioned Alpha Chi Omega to become a chapter, and the charter members personally requested that she be initiated with them. Dora was a teacher and respected community leader, and her daughter, Janet Blades Blocker Fairhead, was initiated into the Alpha Mu chapter in 1951.
