Iota Alpha Pi was chartered as a historically Jewish sorority in 1903, in New York. Maybe they merged with another NY-based historically Jewish group?
Any SDT or AEPhi sisters around that might know? DPhiE, PSS or AOPi are other likely candidates.
My Baird's Manual is from 1930 - maybe someone has a later version that gives the whole story.
I found a reference to IAPi in the University of Illinois Panhellenic Archives, in their 1960-69 listing, so it looks like there were still active chapters as of 30 or so years ago. I also found a reference to an IAPi chapter at the University of Manitoba.
