Three of Kappa Kappa Gamma's gavels are displayed. On the far right is the Monmouth Gavel, which is made from the walnut stair rail in Monmouth College's "Old Main" and was presented to Kappa Kappa Gamma by Mrs. Thomas H. McMichael, wife of the fourth president of Monmouth College. The gavel was used to open conventions from 1928 until 1964, after which it was damaged in the 1965 fire at Fraternity Headquarters. On the far left is a Shryock Gavel, first presented in 1952 to alumnae associations and clubs for outstanding support of active chapters.
