  We study a unique proto-cluster of galaxies, the supergroup SG1120-1202. We
quantify the degree to which morphological transformation of cluster galaxies
occurs prior to cluster assembly in order to explain the observed early-type
fractions in galaxy clusters at z=0. SG1120-1202 at z~0.37 is comprised of four
gravitationally bound groups that are expected to coalesce into a single
cluster by z=0. Using HST ACS observations, we compare the morphological
fractions of the supergroup galaxies to those found in a range of environments.
We find that the morphological fractions of early-type galaxies (~60 %) and the
ratio of S0 to elliptical galaxies (0.5) in SG1120-1202 are very similar to
clusters at comparable redshift, consistent with pre-processing in the group
environment playing the dominant role in establishing the observed early-type
fraction in galaxy clusters.
