Major lane swerve here, but I note that the
Alpha Phi website says:

Alpha Phi was the first women’s organization to use Greek letters as an emblem. Originally there was no standard badge. Until 1906 when the current badge was adopted, each member went to the jeweler of her choice to have her pin designed. Most chose similar designs using the “lazy Phi,” a Phi symbol turned on its side. You can see many of these unique pins in the Ruth Himmelman Wright Heritage Hall at the Executive Office in Evanston, Illinois.

So, it seems at least possible that this could be one of those pre-1096 "unique" designs made to the liking of the member.
Can anybody read the Greek writing on the
F?
