Vintage Jan. 1951 B&W Group Photo: AU Chapter P.E.O. Sisterhood Founders Day

As shown. See all photos. My maternal grandmother was a member. I still have her pins and papers. Unsure who’s pictured here. Names listed on back. 7 women, 6 signatures. Hmm. Imperfect condition and priced to sell as-is.

“The P.E.O. Sisterhood (Philanthropic Educational Organization) is a US-based international women's organization of about 197,000 members, with a primary focus on providing educational opportunities for female students worldwide. The Sisterhood is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, with chapters throughout the US and CA.”

“The Sisterhood was founded on January 21, 1869, as a seven-member sorority at Iowa Wesleyan University in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. It was the second sorority to be founded in the US.”

“The organization was originally rooted in the philosophy and institutions of the Methodist Church, which actively promoted **women's rights and education** in America during the 19th century.”
