For your consideration is an antique Beta Sigma Phi membership heart charm (1955).  Marked Sterling. The heart is 1/2" tall and 3/8" wide.

Beta Sigma Phi was founded by Walter W. Ross.  In 1931, during the Great Depression there was a need for an organization that could bring women together.  Members worked together to raise $22 million in war bonds during World War II. In the 1950's membership doubled and today there are over 165,000 members.  They raise more than $3 million for local charities and donate over 200,000 volunteer hours in an average year.  It is know around the world as "The Friendship Organization."

A wonderful piece of history.
