....sorry for the blurriness. My scanner sucks.



Sigma Delta Tau, Ohio State 1971

I love how everything is symmetrical. I wish I could meet the photographer that took this.

I scanned a load of pictures from the 1939-1940 UCLA yearbook. The two Greek Life division pages are below, and the link at the bottom will take you to a place where you can access each sorority's individual page, including some groups that no longer exist or were absorbed by other nationals and a Japanese-American sorority that still exists at UCLA today.








More here.

love it!

What I find interesting about the UCLA pictures are the number of sororities at the time that had no inactive chapters.

That's especially cool, as is seeing the pictures of the Japanese-American sorority. I also like how all the chapter presidents had to take portraits wearing gowns!

The other thing that struck me was how in the descriptions of the various national sororities they mentioned the north/south divide. Like Chi Omega was described as a sorority that was founded to bridge the north/south divide, and ZTA was described as founded to fulfill the need for more sororities in the south. I thought that was interesting.

I too noticed that about Chi Omega.

I can't remember which one I read this passage, but they were talking about the sorority doing work in the "back-woods of Kentucky"

I have about 30 year books dating back to 1911 from Ohio State. In the 20s, they started to list passeges similar to what was found at UCLA. Even though I never saw the chapters pictured in long gowns, between about 55 and 65, crested blazers were all the rage in many chapters.

Can we start a pool to buy you a new scanner?

^^^LOL. I spend hours pouring over the pictures finding my friends parents and grandparents. I even found the Co-Chairman of the Board of the company in which I work (hmmm....black mail...he had hair back then).

I got such a kick out of these photos. The women all have the exact same hair styles. They could have taken 10 or 20 pictures and then just put them in varying orders for each group!

Have you seen any for the 1960's? They're the same way!
