Sorry, I hit "return" too soon. In my grandfather's Ventonia photos, I remember seeing photos of members wearing their colors as ribbons over their shoulder and having a fraternity hat in fraternity colors.
There is definitely a Latvian population in New York, don't know about Chicago. It would seem logical to me that other Baltic communities like Lithuania and Estonia may have similar type of groups, that were resurrected by those peoples when they arrived in America.
