So does anyone know what organization/group might have had a round gold pin with the figure of a girl in a colonial-style dress against a pale blue enamel background on the front?

There are some women's organizations that are sisterhoods and sort of "sorority'ish", such as P.E.O. Sisterhood and Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.). I don't know if they have pins or not, but the colonial style dress that you mentioned made me think of it.
If you solve the mystery, please do share with us when you solve it! Thanks!

I found a DAR pin
here so that's likely not what your Grandmother had.
I also know that Zeta Tau Alpha has a lady in a dress motif..I believe that she is called "Zeta Lady" (don't know for sure...Zetas please correct and forgive my ignorance). I think she is available as a pin and it is sort of a puffy gown (not sure if that is like the colonial dress that you're thinking of).
