She entered Syracuse University as a freshman in 1903. There, she was one of the founding members of the sorority Alpha Gamma Delta.[2] She suffered an ice injury in April 1904 that required her to spend the founding year in the hospital. She and Georgia Dickover wrote the "Initiation Song" in the fall.[3]

She was also the mother of the first Alpha Gam baby.
