Past Grand Archon Ruth Burg Visits International Headquarters



On Saturday, December 15th, Past Grand Archon Ruth Cooper Breslauer Burg visited our International Headquarters in Elkridge, Maryland. Ruth was Grand Archon from 1954 to 1956 and is a sister from our Kappa chapter at George Washington University. She graduated first in her class from the George Washington University law school and had a long and distinguised career as a lawyer and judge.

Past Grand Archon Judith Distler, joined by Beta Theta (University of Miami) alumna Valerie Shapiro, brought Ruth to Headquarters, where she received a tour from Executive Director Michelle Snyder, and also met with Kim Hildred, Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation President and Past Grand Archon and Rosemary Straub, the Foundation’s Director of Development. It was a wonderful day of sharing memories and discussing Phi Sig history.

During her visit to HQ, Ruth remarked that when she served as Grand Archon our Headquarters (then called Central Office) was located in her Washington, DC home. My how things have changed!
