This is a page I found in a 1960s scrapbook from a northeastern university (I’d offer a prize for guessing the campus, but it’s way too obvious!). The page is titled “Our Tea.” Each chapter’s representative left a card at the tea. This might have been a sampling of the attendance at the tea. (I might also add that this particular campus has had 25 of the 26 National Panhellenic Conference groups on campus at one time or another. It even had a chapter of Iota Alpha Pi, which was the 27th NPC group before it disbanded in the 1970s.)
I can’t imagine the use of these cards on that campus lasted much into the 1970s, if that long. There was great turmoil on this campus in the late 1960s and 1970s. Two of the chapters whose cards are pictured below were gone from campus by 1970.
Are there any campuses where these cards are still in use on a regular basis?
