COLLINGDALE, Pa. (WPVI) -- The Delta Sigma Theta sorority paid tribute to one of its founding members in Collingdale, Delaware County.

A monument now sits in the historic Eden Cemetery to honor the late, Pauline Oberdorfer Minor.

Minor formed the 102-year old social action organization while at Howard University.

However, her death had remained a mystery until 2013.

A search by some sorority members found Minor buried in a paupers grave, in Delaware County.

On Saturday, her fellow sisters held an Omega Omega service and properly laid her to rest.
