P.E.O. did not name chapters by Greek letters.
Chapter B- Belden's Female Seminary, Mount Pleasant, Iowa (also known as Mt. Pleasant Seminary). Pi Phi had an early chapter there although it's not listed in Baird's.
Chapter C - Jacksonville Female Academy, Jacksonville, IL (Pi Phi also had a chapter here 1881-84).
Chapter D - Oskaloosa, Iowa 1873. This was the start of the community based chapter.
Chapters B and C were relatively short-lived. Chapter A became Chapter AJ and later Chapter S. It was the only collegiate chapter after Chapters B and C closed.
The HQ is in Des Moines. I recall seeing a goodly number of badges (all looked basically the same - a gold star) and I think there were some from the 1870s and 1880s.
