Margaret Wylie's 1964 obituary showed the breadth of
activities in which many home economist educators participated. Like
many women in the field, she belonged to a number of professional organizations
that promoted high standards, certification, and professional conduct
within home economics' sub-disciplines. As a Family Studies professor
at Cornell, Wylie herself was a member of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, the American Psychological Association,
the American Home Economics Association, and the International Council
of Women Psychologists. She also belonged to honors societies, including
Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Ki, and Sigma Delta Epsilon, which extended membership
to those who had made significant advancements within the field.
