Antique / Unique GLO Treasures

[pbear19]

Oh, this thread is just made for me! I'm a big fan of history in general, and I love collecting historical stuff. So I've got a few things to share.

This first pic is vintage issues of The Crescent. The far left two are from 1914, the next four are from 1934 & 1935, the next three from 47, 48 & 49, and the last is from 1951.



This next pic is the various histories of Gamma Phi that have been published over the years. From left to right: 1921, 1965, 1985 and 2002.



This pic is two of the editions of the song book, from 1936 and 1964.



Two Pledge Manuals from the 30s.



These aren't technically Gamma Phi items, but they are plays written by Lindsey Barbee, who was Editor of The Crescent from 1910-1938 and Grand President from 1919-1924. She also wrote the first history book of Gamma Phi, the one from 1921 pictured above.



Will put the rest in the next post...

This Panhellenic Guide Book is filled with all the dos and don'ts of rush, along with the schedule and info on each sorority.



From the inside of the Guide Book:



1914 Postcard from Syracuse University. Clockwise from the top left are houses for Gamma Phi Beta, Phi Delta Theta, Psi Upsilon and Delta Kappa Epsilon. (The post card was written from a member of Phi Delta Theta to his Aunt.)



Playing cards from the 30s that were sold to members as fundraisers for individual chapters, along with an ad in the May, 1931 issue of The Crescent.




This picture is of two dance cards from 1945 and 1946, and a wallet purchased between 1944 and 1948. Below are pics from the inside of the second dance card.






And that's it. Well, that's the good stuff that's not specific to our local alumnae chapter.

LOVE IT! Wish all my song books weren't in storage . . .
