    Picked up this pin from an estate sale. Its is a 2 piece pin, the back has a round screw on piece. But I don't know anything about the front.

    Lapel pin or tie tack implies a fraternity rather than sorority.

    If your's is stamped with CTO on the back like this one, then the maker is O.C. Tanner Jewelry of Salt Lake City. According to the following websites they have been making fraternity jewelry since the 1940s.
