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. <br><br>8” x 10”<br><br>peointernational.org<br><br>“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.”<br><br>“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.”<br><br>“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.”
