Nellie Gamble Childe
(1867-1960)
“It does not seem possible that twenty-five years have passed since a few girls started into action a Fraternity which they little knew or thought would meet with such success as Alpha Chi Omega. I am proud, yes, very proud to be a Founder of such a Fraternity, and while I cannot claim any of the honor of bringing it through the hard struggles of early life, I am truly glad that fate dealt so kindly with me as to make me one of its first members.”
