More About Us
Alpha Pi Chapter was chartered on February 18, 1933 by our founder Annie Webb Blanton who came from Austin on the train for the amount of $4.32. The initiation was held at the Hotel Grim and the dinner was enjoyed by the new charter members. All the new members were dressed in their finest with their new suits, hats, and gloves. They were honored to have Dr. Blanton perform the initiation ceremony.
In 1959, our red glasses were purchased at a cost of $1.00. Each member purchased a red glass to be used at the initiation dinner every year by our chapter. We have used these glasses ever since. They are considered our legacy!!
