I can't believe I missed AZTheta's post! I'd be happy to check the records for ADPi, too. What was her name?

The OP pm'ed me and the name she gave wasn't listed in our Sister Search. That suggests that Theta can be ruled out.
Yearbooks aren't always helpful - not everyone is photographed. Data bases are only as good as the person who inputs info. It would be great if we sleuths were able to confirm membership for the OP, if what she's been told is right. I like mysteries. As long as there's no murder involved.

Unfortunately all that is the case with my fraternity in terms of research, I have names I'd like to look up and research but it seems I run into bad databases or no yearbook info. Frustration sets in quickly

^^^ sorry for that, pkt...from what I've gathered, sororities have pretty comprehensive membership records. Bummer for you.
Paging AngelPhiSig, you have lots of Panhellenic sisters offering to search for you!!! Come BACK.

If anyone wants to check - her name is Mae E. Pierce. She would have been at Pitt anywhere from 1928-1934. I believe her diplomas read 1931 and 1934. (she either got a lot of degrees or maybe they degreed after two years back then? She became a chemistry teacher  It runs in the family. (well, not chem, it is the only science that I am not 100% keen on!)

Another thought: Is Pierce her married name or her maiden name? If you're checking yearbooks, it makes a huge difference.

I found a Martha Pierce in the Tri Delt Chapter in the '32 Yearbook, which would be '31

Not a DZ
Hi,
I checked our database and there are no members with the last name of Pierce listed for Pitt.

She wasn't in our 1938 directory.

I just found out that our directory is just for those still alive. If she has already passed, the individual chapter would have the information. Good luck!
