To the OP,
Since we are all committed to this endeavor, can you scan the picture so we can see what the ladies looked like. Even if we can't track down the answer.....inquiring minds want to know!

Thanks for your help
 
Thanks to all of you. I think this must be a local chapter of a sorority. Thus far I've received no replies from possible descendants of these women. I'll keep working on it, though.

A local sorority or a local chapter or a national sorority?

I only ask because because in 1912, I imagine most sororities would still be in single letter chapter designations (Alpha Chapter, Beta Chapter, etc.) or just out of the single letters.

Remember, though, that despite having been founded in 1851, Alpha Delta Pi didn't establish its Beta chapter until 1905. From 1851-1905, it was the Adelphian Society at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia.

I agree, though, that it's likely to be a local sorority, especially since they are holding a Delta Nu banner and the photograph simply refers to members of Delta Nu on the back. Seems likely that if it was a chapter of a national sorority, the banner would be of the national sorority, and the back would say "members of Delta Nu [Chapter] of ABG."

And yes, Mywak, it might be helpful if you could post the picture.
