As an undergraduate, she was one of the founders of Delta Zeta Sorority at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio in 1902 and was later its national president. Also served as Colorado state regent of the DAR.
From the Delta Zeta Sorority national website:
Anna (later Anne) Dial Simmons graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1902, then went to Miami University that fall to pursue additional studies. A natural leader, she was outgoing and made friends, both men and women, easily. After one year at Miami, she took a teaching position in Lockland, near Oxford, so that she could remain close to the chapter. She also took classes and received a master's degree in 1904.
Anne married Justus Friedline in 1909 and moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado. She served as Alumnae Vice President during Julia Bishop Coleman's presidency and was elected National President in 1926. She refused a second term in order to care for her ailing husband, but following his death, turned her energies toward the blossoming Sorority she had helped found, serving as housemother to the Iota Chapter in 1929-30. She planned to take a similar position closer to her home in Colorado, but unexpectedly entered the Flame Eternal in September 1932.
