Post Can anybody identify a greek charm?

I found a seller on ebay identifying a pendant as a tri-delta relic. Yes, I realize that regardless of the situation, she should not be selling anything of the sort, however, I do not recognize this as having any tri-delta symbolgy (with the exception of the obvious triangle.) Can anybody identify which organization it belongs to?

The charm is small and round, with an upside down-triangle enclosed in a hexagon. Within the triangle are a small flower (top left point), a knot that strongly resembles a pretzel (top point), and another knot-like symbol (bottom point.)

Beneath this is a common banner, which appears to read "ΤΟ ΒΡΩΠΟΨ", however what I have interpreted as an omega is very difficult to see.

I feel that it may be a local sorority, as I don't recognize any of these symbols from any sorority I know. If anyone does know, I'd appreciate some ideas!

I'll agree that it's probably from a local sorority.

Why shouldn't she be selling it?

I believe the "pretzel" is actually a Gordian Knot. It could also possibly be from a group that merged into a current NPC. Though by 1956 a lot of that was already done.

I was under the impression that any greek jewelry etc. should only belong to members. Maybe it's just badges? I guess I'm just old-fashioned, too.

There are lots of locals in eastern PA, so this one might actually still be around.

As far as I can determine that pendant has no connection to Tri-Delta. None of the symbols are used by DDD except the delta.
