Unfortunately I don't. I do know that one of them recently passed. Out of all of them, I've only met the black guy. He's in my family tree as well, though. It'd be his Big Brother so I'm sure he could tell me if I showed him the picture!

Picture of Kappa Delta in the 1920's at the University of Tennessee, sorry if it's hard to see.

Has this ever been posted before? I don't recall seeing it. Amazing photos of rush at the University of Colorado in 1945, including a shot of a pref ceremony and the Kappas voting on their new members! Times change, I guess.

Loved the Life article! Our chapter is no longer there, so it was even more interesting to me. One of the signs of "Times, They Are A Changin'" was a picture of all the pins for that campus, saying that they each cost about $15!!

This is so cool! I just emailed it to our Education chair. I love a Kappa ending

Thanks for sharing, Low C Sharp!

Thanks so much for sharing the link to LIFE. I love historical pieces. That was a great article!

More than one of our alumnae have been clients of mine. This picture was given to me from one of the alumnae, when ADPi first returned to campus after WWII (the whole chapter closed to work on the war effort):




It's from 1946, and the woman who gave it to me is H. Davis, sitting almost at the middle.

FYI: Many of the sororities at Pitt had as few as six members prior to 1960. There may have been as many as 17-18 sororities, but even the largest sororities didn't have 30 members!

There is something very attention grabbing about this picture. I don't know what it is.
