The five o’clock bell was the long-awaited signal and the girls raced to Eugenia’s room to get from their hiding place the beautiful blue ribbons…. A bar across the top showed the clasped hands of friendship. On one ribbon streamer was the name ‘Adelphean’ and on the other was the carefully chosen motto, ‘We Live for Each Other.’ (Loyally, Volume I) In honor of Founders’ Day, the Pride of Presidents – our current and past Grand and International Presidents – will match $1,000 to the Annual Fund (our area of greatest need). Gifts to the Annual Fund, including memberships to our giving societies, will count towards this match.
