Pi Sigma Gamma

Pi Sigma Gamma was founded in 1919 by two University of California at Berkeley students, Alice H. Cassidy and Kathleen D. Coghlan. Baird's (1930) reports the following chapters and membership numbers:

1919 Alpha Berkeley

1921 Beta Washington

1926 Gamma Hunter College

Total membership was 439.

National conventions were held throughout the 1920s. The sorority had several publications: a song book, a Pledge Manual, a Handbook for Pledges, Triple Wing magazine (Baird's 1930, p. 610).

Butterfield (p. 45) described the coat-of-arms as "A group of emblems within a shield outline, three book, lamp, and crossed swords are employed in the device."

The UCLA chapter closed in 1930. The remaining chapters affiliated with Beta Sigma Omicron.
