Were they in a local? If so, did they choose not to get initiated into the national group?

My mom said there were social clubs when she was at Baylor, but wasn't in one. No idea about my grandmother (passed). I would have to look up the years attended & find out if there were any local sororities there then.

When my mom was at Baylor, there were room checks on Sundays to make sure all students were at church and random checks to make sure you were NOT hiding alcohol in your room. She said they would sanitize a 10-0-6 (face astringent) bottle & fill it with rum (as it was the same color) so they could "display" the bottle on their bookshelf, in plain site.

I know, for instance, the Pi Alpha Lambda (PALs) that became Chi Omega at Baylor, went back to at least the 1930s.
