His chapter was all-male, and he nearly fell over when I told him that APO is now coed and one of my chapter sisters is a brother. (Shows how involved he became as an alum. )

MIL started out at NYU and transferred to CCNY. She pledged a service sorority, but AFAIK, was never initiated as her parents were dead set against any GLOs. (Funny how GLOs suddenly became ok when GMIL joined Kappa Delta Pi ... but I digress.) Neither he nor she can recall the letters. I suggested that it might be Omega Phi Alpha, but a little googling tells me OPA was founded after their college years and has not had a chapter at NYU or CCNY.

I am hoping someone can shed some light on this...?
Some universities have digitized their yearbooks. Check the NYU website for library/archives. If the yearbook collection isn't online, you can email a librarian and pose the question.....that's what we librarians are here for!
