Patriotic Societies

Martha Sawyer Gielow, the founder of the SIEA, was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC). With those credentials she had a platform to promote the mission of the SIEA to all patriotic societies. Gielow crisscrossed the country to local chapter meetings and national conventions, to share her mission with enthusiastic audiences. Whole chapters of the DAR, UDC, and Colonial Dames pledged their financial support. Many Auxiliary officers and board members listed in the Quarterly Magazines were members of one or more of these patriotic societies.


The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)

The DAR, founded in 1890 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a non-profit, non-political volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education for children.

The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC)

The UDC is the outgrowth of numerous ladies’ hospital associations, sewing societies and knitting circles that worked throughout the South during the War Between the States to supply the needs of the soldiers.

The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America (NSCDA)

The NSCDA promotes appreciation for the people, places, and events that led to the formation and development of the United States of America.
