High School Sororities - Interesting 1914 Policy

[Sen's Revenge]

So I was minding my business on Newspapers.com, looking for something else entirely, when I discovered a newspaper article about high school fraternities and sororities. Actually, I discovered several. Apparently in the 19-teens, high school GLOs were becoming increasingly popular among the students and were quite unpopular with administrators. So much so, the issue was making the news.

The October 4, 1914 edition of the Washington Evening Star said:

"High school sororities will quickly decline...because of action taken by the National Pan-Hellenic Congress."

Later, the article says a letter from NPC was circulated to high school girls notifying them that if they maintain membership in their high school sororities, it will make them ineligible for NPC groups after September 1915.

Never knew this. Maybe I missed it on here before.
