Alpha Phi Medallion Photo...age?

[quicksilver]

Hello,
This is an Alpha Phi crest (coat-of-arms) medallion I found at a college in East Central Wisconsin. I would like to know the approximate age of this medallion. The school was founded in 1862. Have any of you?found an item like this one? Let me know. Thank you.

I would contact the sorority in person, through e-mail with a pic, or snail mail with a pic. They would be able to tell you if it is currently in use or at the very least they could, through photos of members past classes etc., give you a rough estimate of the time the pin was in use. If this is a formal membership pin the different variations would appear in yearly photos and should not be that difficult to get a date-ish at the very least. Of course this depends on someone actually wanting to help out but I would think one of the members would take an interest in the history.
