I am a relatively new reader of GreekChat, although have been involved in greek life since the mid '90s. Something in this post rang a bell and after checking in with my mother, I learned that she was a member of Iota Phi in Portland in the mid 50s. She remembers that it was one of two Jewish high school social sororities (apparently very common at that time) and has no idea if they had a presence larger than her high school. My mom describes the sorority as "slightly upscale," which was very funny given the context that her sister belonged the other Jewish sorority. My mom couldn't remember much more about it, but did note that a former mayor of Portland Linda Ellowitch (her maiden name and not the right spelling) was a member of Iota Phi as well.
