The Founders: Isabel Morgan Breed |
|
|
Isabel came from Lynn, Massachusetts. She had refused sorority bids because deep religious convictions made her question being a part of a selective organization. After learning of the Christian principals and aims of Tri Delta, she consented to become a member.
After graduation she taught Greek and Latin from 1891-1903 and served as president of the Ladies' Library Association of Randolph (Mass.). Because of poor health she retired to the family home in Lynn, Mass. in 1903, where she lived with her three unmarried sisters. She founded a branch of the Alliance Francaise and served the Lynn Historical Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, the North Shore Club and the Women's Missionary Association of the Baptist Church in various capacities. Her activity in Tri Delta is limited to serving as Grad Treasurer from 1889-1893, but her interest was unabated, and in her quiet and orderly life she reflected great credit upon the Fraternity. During her last years, she spent much time in study. SHe died in 1915 at the age of 48. |
