Some HBCU yearbooks in the 1960s had photos of the "clubs" (Pyramid Club, Sphinx Club), etc. as if they were a campus organization.
This always confused me because 1) I don't know whether these were nationally recognized "pledges" and 2) some of the members of these clubs ended up becoming members and others dropped prior to initiation (some of them dropped not knowing the initiation was a few days away, which sucks).
If it's the first one (1) then I assume there were photos of these groups because, by the time the yearbook hit the press, they hadn't completed (I assume they had started) the intake process and couldn't be in the chapter photo.
