Delta Gamma, a national collegiate women's fraternity, was organized during the 1873 Christmas season at the Lewis School located at this site. Its founders were three students, Eva Webb, Mary Comfort, and Anna Boyd, who were unable to go home to Kosciusko, Miss., for the holidays because of bad weather and impassible roads.
