Recognition of Eminence Award: Dorcas Bates Reilly, Nu Nu
The Recognition of Eminence Award honors alumnae members whose professional or community achievements received recognition outside the realm of Alpha Sigma Alpha. Dorcas Bates Reilly, Nu Nu (Drexel University), is one of only nine members in Alpha Sigma Alpha history to win this award.
Regarded as the "mother of comfort food," Dorcas Reilly led the team that created the Green Bean Casserole in 1955, while working as a staff member in the home economics department of the Campbell Soup Company.
In 2002, Mrs. Reilly appeared at the National Inventors Hall of Fame in Akron, OH, to donate the original copy of the recipe to the museum. The now-yellowed 8x11 recipe card takes its place alongside Enrico Fermi's invention of the first controlled nuclear reactor and Thomas Alva Edison's two greatest hits: the light bulb and the phonograph.
National Council members Christine Thomas and Nora Ten Broeck were on hand to present the award to Mrs. Reilly, whose husband and daughter were in attendance. Fellow Nu Nu alumnae and collegians celebrated with a group photo with Mrs. Reilly.
