Myra Lillian Davis Hemmings (August 30, 1895 – December 8, 1968) was an American actress and teacher, and a founder of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. ==Early life== Hemmings was born in Gonzales, Texas to Henry and Susan (Dement) Davis. In 1909, she graduated from Riverside High School in San Antonio, Texas. At Howard University in Washington, D.C., Davis was a part of the group of seven who were newly initiated into the Alpha Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha in 1912, where she was elected president.〔Giddings, Paula (1988). ''In Search of Sisterhood: Delta Sigma Theta and the Challenge of the Black Sorority Movement.'' New York, New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 44. 0688135099.〕〔Tamara L. Brown, Gregory Parks, Clarenda M. Phillips (2005). ''African American Fraternities and Sororities: The Legacy and the Vision''. University Press of Kentucky, 192. ISBN 0-8131-2344-5〕 A dichotomy ensued between the combined 22 undergraduate Alpha Chapter women and the newly graduated establishment of Alpha Kappa Alpha, with the younger women, led by Davis, becoming progressively more dissatisfied with the campus society-focused agenda of the sorority. The seven women along with the fifteen other members of the undergraduate Alpha Chapter voted to reorganize Alpha Kappa Alpha into a public service-centered organization and, after declining an ultimatum from a key dissenting graduated AKA, formed Delta Sigma Theta. She was later named first president of Delta Sigma Theta's Alpha Chapter.〔〔 Retrieved on July 6, 2007.〕 In 1913, Hemmings graduated from Howard University.〔(Myra Hemmings Biography on IMDB ).
