Veterans in 1947 college wear discharge buttons instead of sorority pins
In 1947 many women veterans enrolled in California and Indiana colleges, wearing service discharge buttons to mark their status rather than sorority pins. Reports note GI Bill funding aiding education, with several veterans planning to pursue nursing, WAC roles, teaching, or farming careers as they adjust to campus life. Local efforts include student groups, public committees, and college sponsorships to support returning veterans amid easing postwar constraints.
