Wednesday's Wonderful Collection - El Dorado Pan Hellenic Association records, MS.000100

The El Dorado Pan Hellenic Association was organized in the 1920s by women who had belonged to college sororities. The association raised money on balls that were the county social events until President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Birthday Balls. Money was loaned to scholastically qualified girls to go to college. The association went out of existence in the early 1960s.

This collection contains correspondence, loan forms, cancelled checks, receipts, account records, and other miscellaneous items.
