She is also the proud grandmother of two granddaughters, Kate and Mary Allison, who both pledged Kappa at SMU!

Each year, the Tablescapes Chairmen select an outstanding member of our alumnae group to serve as the Platinum Key Honoree. We can think of no one more deserving than Kappa Tablescapes co-founder, Louise Griffeth.
Louise pledged Kappa at the University of Texas. Her mother, sister and grandmother were all Kappas as well. She has been an integral part of the Dallas Alumnae Association serving as President of the Kappa Junior Alum Group as well as serving on the SMU Gamma Phi House Board and on the Foundation Board. Louise has also received the Kappa Distinguished Alumnae Award.
Her deep commitment to the community includes numerous other organizations including the Bullock Texas State History Museum Foundation Board, Crystal Charity Ball, Equest, the Junior League of Dallas, the Salvation Army, Sons of the Flag, and St. Michael and All Angels Church. Louise and her husband of nearly 50 years, Guy, have two sons, Spence and Teal, and a daughter-in-love, Annie.
