Series 1. Scrapbooks, 1976 - 1998
Series — Box: 1
Scope and Content Note
From the Collection:
The bulk of this collection consists of governing documents, scrapbooks, and photographs documenting Pi Nu Epsilon Delta Chapter’s activities at Shippensburg State College and Shippensburg University. Also included in this collection are constitutions, by-laws, and meeting agendas for meetings of the national Pi Nu Epsilon organization, and correspondence related to
the national organization’s efforts to expand to other schools in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Governing documents include minutes, agendas, and member lists pertaining to Delta Chapter business with the bulk of the content spanning the years 1955 to 1985. During the collection’s inclusive dates of 1955 to 2016, a large portion of the materials changed physical location each year when the chapter elected new secretaries and historians. As a result of this fluid custody arrangement and the hazards of being a volunteer organization led by officers with different interests and abilities, the records contain chronological holes which hampers full documentation of the history of the chapter’s operation at Shippensburg.
The records are arranged in 3 series. Series include 1) Scrapbooks, 2) Administrative Files, and 3) Photographs. Series 2 contains four sub-series to distinguish files created by different functions or officers of the Delta Chapter. Contents of all series are arranged chronologically where possible.
