(Groupings into Academic, Professional and Junior were as of the time) . Sororities not included either had no entry for Patron or specifically said None for Patron.

Academic Sororities
Alpha Chi Omega - Hera
Chi Omega - Demeter
Delta Delta Delta - Poseidon
Lambda Omega - Artemis
Kappa Kappa Gamma - Athena
Pi Beta Phi - Pallas Athena
Pi Lambda Sigma - St. Margaret of the Dragon
Sigma Kappa - Secret
Theta Phi Alpha - St. Catherine of Sienna
Theta Upsilon - Apollo
Zeta Tau Alpha - Themis

Professional Sororities

In addition the previous edition (1921) (https://archive.org/details/sorority...4mart/mode/2up)

had a section for Junior Sororities. Patrons there included
Beta Sigma Omicron - Hestia


Lots of other interesting information there.
