There was a sorority called Theta Upsilon that was admitted to the NPC in 1927. According to my 1936 Baird's, there were 17 chapters. Their colors were the 7 colors of the rainbow, the iris was their flower. Their badge is a Theta superimposed on an Upsilon. Their pledge pin is a stylized iris in sterling silver and their flag is yellow with a white lion rampant. TU was founded in 1914 at the University of California.
There used to be a chapter here at FSU.

There was also a local sorority called Theta Upsilon at the Ripon College. It was formerly a chapter of the national, I think. According to the Baird's listing for TU, the Ripon College chapter is listed as inactive, however in the Local Sorority listing, Ripon College shows a Theta Upsilon local sorority.
Where did your grandmother go to school? You could probably write the NPC and ask them what happened to TU. Maybe they were absorbed into another NPC group?
