My favorite is the woman in the center holding the banana, and the other woman who is looking like she's going to take a bite!

The one taking a bite from the banana is obviously a juggler, she's holding a juggling pin!.

Maybe they were showing their hobbies? There are a couple holding books, one holding flowers...

Or, judging from their caps, they're graduates. Maybe each item they're holding signifies their major, and the one holding the banana majored in botany? ;)

PS: The one holding flowers is not sitting like a lady!

Do you ever try to imagine what these young ladies would look like today at that age?

I don't know - they look like mortarboards with padding around them, and I thought the tassels meant they graduated.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's not secret - it's published in a Kappa coffee table book from Nationals. I also can't find a chapter, event or date... looks like 1920's, though?

I wonder if it's the presentation or one of the usings of the Ware candlesticks.

I inherited a set of silver candlestick holders EXACTLY like those from my Chi Omega mil.

Earlier in the 20th century, new initiates of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. in Tennessee can be seen carrying their canes.

They look SHARP!!!

I'm late to the game but I absolutely love this thread. All my sororities "old school" pics are from the late '80's. Lots of big hair...LOL!!! :D We're still babies...:)

I just love looking at these pics. I think for the most part they were so much more formal and I love that!!

The pics from the 1800's are AMAZING!!

Unless it's just a Texas thing... :)

They're all over my campus as well. (And I LOVE them.)

I like the SHORTS... but its coldd and windy in Lubbock right now, and seeing them with UGGS and leggings is annoying... almost as annoying as them without leggings and with UGGS. to each his own i guess.

FYI, in Colonial days, women who had the money to have a good dress (as opposed to just having their one everyday dress) DID sit with their knees as far apart as possible! It was their way of showing that they had the wealth to have several yards of fabric for a good skirt, along with their everyday clothes. (Thank you, Rev War Reenactor Friends!)
