Biography/History
Sue Glenn Richey was born in 1936 and raised in Lakewood, WA. She was a member of WSC’s Pi Beta Phi sorority from 1954 to 1958, graduating with an Education degree. She passed away in 2017 after 38 years as a school teacher.
The national Pi Beta Phi sorority dates to 1867, while the Washington State University chapter originated on October 3, 1908 as Phi Alpha Epsilon. They affiliated with the national organization (as the Beta Washington chapter) on July 6, 1912.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of just 14 black and white photographs of the Washington State University (then Washington State College) chapter of the Pi Beta Phi sorority, collected by Sue Glenn Richey during 1954-1958, while she was a member of that sorority. The photographs are split fairly evenly between professionally photographed group images, and more informal personal photos.
Arrangement
The photographs are arranged chronologically, with each folder containing all photographs from a given calendar year. One undated photographed is after the others, followed in turn by a single page of biographical information.
