The University of Chicago 100 years ago

“What objection can Miss Talbott (sic) make to a national fraternity in the face of this?” was written on a page that had an undated article entitled “Hazing as Girls Practice it.” It was in with some late 1890s correspondence about a women's fraternity that was hoping to form a chapter at the University of Chicago.


The article read: “From the Chicago Tribune:
“Much curiosity and amusement was caused among University of Chicago students Thursday by the strange actions and curious appearance of Miss Darida (sic) Harper, daughter of President Harper, and her many changes of costume during her promenade on the campus are explained by the fact that she was being initiated into the Esoteric club, a women’s secret society at the university.

The rest of the post is at: http://wp.me/p20I1i-Ck

Does anyone have any info on Upsilon Gamma, a sorority for women of Polish descent? I had never heard of this org before and was curious to know its history and whether it was for collegians or community-based.

Look under Erik Conard's posts - he mentioned a college that used to be around here that was for people of Polish descent. For some reason that sounds familiar.
