I also did a search and found a page for the Delta Nu Sorority at Dickinson College. The site says that they were founded in 1971, though, and that they are a former Chi Omega chapter.

What's interesting to note is this:

Quote:
The sisterhood of Delta Nu was founded on October 8, 1971 at Dickinson College. Prior to this date, the sisterhood was the Delta chapter of the national sorority Chi Omega. Our chapter wanted to offer bids to women of minority status, however our national organization did not permit us to do so.

We vigorously fought to change these discriminatory policies. Chi Omega refused to alter their policies, so, we as the Delta chapter decided to return our national charter and form a local sorority. To represent this change, we kept the name “Delta,” and “Nu” was added to mark the formation of a new sorority—thus Delta Nu was born. We adopted new symbols and ideals. And most importantly, we were finally free to determine members of our sisterhood—regardless of race or religion.
Just...wow.

To the OP, sorry I couldn't be of any help, but GC has several history buffs (with Baird's manuals!) and I'm sure someone will be able to track down a campus for you. Thank you for taking the time to preserve a little of Greek history and hopefully you'll be able to find a home for the photo!
