Fun question!

A total guess...I'm going to say Kappa Alpha Theta. (I've always thought that they were known for their scholarship.)

[tinydancer16]

Goooood guess...but no

[NutBrnHair]

No multiple choice?

OK, one more guess and then I'll stop -- Tri Delta?

Kappa Kappa Gamma in like 1943? (I did a paper in my women's studies class about Miss America and seem to remember that... although I could be confusing that with something else.)

[Low C Sharp]

Technically, Radcliffe college at Harvard is still around, too, isn't it? I would think the relationships are similar?

According to the Barnard website the relationships are the same

If that's what the Barnard site says, it's 35 years out of date. The relationship was similar prior to ~1972. Since that time, Harvard has been fully co-ed, with all housing, classes, admissions, etc. fully integrated. In 1999, Radcliffe College officially became an institute for advanced study, and undergraduates no longer have any relationship to it (except the historical relationship). Barnard is still a women's college with separate admissions, dorms, and classes, even though its students share a community with the men and women of Columbia College and the College of Engineering.

Sangers is right! It was Kappa Kappa Gamma in 1943, who wanted to help support their sister Jean Bartel. I checked the Miss America website. Sangers, what's the next question?

[tinydancer16]

Good looking Xidelt; Jean Bartel, Miss America 1943, is a Kappa Kappa Gamma and just following her crowning her sorority sisters gave her the idea of associating scholarship with Miss America. Jean took the idea to her director and two years later the first scholarship was given! Jean was also the first college student to win the title of Miss America, which would make her also the first sorority woman to do so.
Sangers is the winner!! Pick your next question

Ok, lemme see... this is tough, ya'll are some intense trivia people... Ok, easy one: Which sorority can claim Dorothy Duval, a heroic WWII volunteer who served with the Red Cross?

[tinydancer16]

Delta Gamma!
(sorry I'm a Trivia hog, it's been a really boring week at work)

[AnatraAmore]

Correct! Your turn!

I think the poster is trying to say, "Hey kids, don't do drugs. Look what happens when you do!".

[tinydancer16]
