Neva Jane was from Lakeland, Fla. She was an ADPi from Florida Southern College. Neva transferred from FSC to Wesleyan College (Macon, Ga). Wesleyan is where the first 2 sororities began (ADPi 1851 and Phi Mu 1852) but in 1914 the trustees removed sororities from the college. Neva was a 1955 graduate of Wesleyan and truly a lovely lady. She was a childhood friend and a Wesleyan classmate of my mom's. Sadly she died in 2012.
