If the OP could get her hands on a yearbook from when her grandmother was enrolled, I bet the mystery would be solved.
This may not be the appropriate year, but I found this by googling High Point College Yearbook. Pretty sure they were HPC before High Point University. You could contact their library.

I was looking at the 1950 yearbook because I guess I'm a closeted stalker. There was an org called Alpha Theta Psi and one called Theta Phi, which are pretty close. Also, there is a Sigma Alpha Phi, which isn't really that far off the mark, either. What would be interesting to find out is what national orgs these groups became a part of. I imagine from the founding dates that the nationals absorbed the locals.
