History of Pelican Chapter

Pelican Chapter was organized June 12, 1908, at the home of Mrs. John McCullough. The first officers were Mrs. J.M. Foster, Regent; Mrs. Peter Youree, Vice Regent; Mrs. John Hutchinson, Secretary; Mrs. Mary Field, Treasurer; Mrs. R.L. Mayfield, Registrar; Mrs. Mattie H. Williams, Historian.

At the first regular meeting on October 7, 1908, the name of the chapter, Pelican, was adopted in honor of Louisiana's state emblem, and the magnolia was chosen as the chapter flower. It was decided the chapter motto would be, "I Live and Die for Those I Love."
