They are holding a Delta Nu banner, but writing on the back does not identify the college or university. Some of the women's names are: Ester [sic] Allen, Helen Gliot, Sigrid Jespersen, Marie Swansen [sic], Gertrude Apelt, Lillian Kubbert, and Bertha Iten [?] I don't know if Delta Nu was a local chapter of a national sorority or a national sorority now disbanded. I tried an internet search, but all I found was that it was a sorority in the movie Legally Blonde! The person who donated the photo to our museum bought it at a yard sale in Michigan. I would like to pass the photo on to a museum or archive at the appropriate institution. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
I did a search on Sigrid Jespersen and found this:

And this looks like Gertrude Apelt's daughter.
