✅ SOLVED ring would like some background

[ihopeitsnotjunk]

I found what is left of a ring. On the inside is says "Letzeiser Oklahoma" I found a Letzeiser and company in Oklahoma city in the 1910's and 1920's that made class rings etc. Does anyone have any idea what the crest on this ring means? I believe part of the ribbon on the crest says "rns" or "nns".

the crest is for Phi Gamma Delta, so it's evidently a college sorority ring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_Gamma_Delta

It is only the top part of the ring. There are no other markings. I am going to take it to a jeweler and see what they say. I will post what I find out.
