Gail truly embodied the Fraternity's principles: intellectually, the highest scholarship, socially, the widest influence for good, and the moral code - love. I was privileged to meet her when I first landed in Tucson, and proud to call her a Kappa Alpha Theta sister. Her influence will live on through the many lives she touched.
