Some collegiates are preparing for their first weeks in college,
and now is their moment to plan for completion of the work
ahead. Learn today what your college expects of you. Rou-
tines become habits quickly. The what, when and how to
study are the skills each will need to achieve the honors and
the diplomas.

M M Consistent high quality academic performance is the main
requirement for selection to honors. This issue lists the A O l I s
in Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, Mortar Board, and many
other honoraries across the nation and in Canada. The accom-
plishments of these collegiates show a wide scope of interest.
TO DRAGMA offers its praise to each of them as they pa-
rade before you.

Ten years ago Alpha Omicron Pi had fifty-six chapters. Today
the collegiate chapter rolls lists seventy-four chapters, with
additional expansion coming. Nu Sigma chapter in Iowa will
be installed October 31, and two new colonies in Montana
and California will be colonized in September. Through ex-
tension and growth, Alpha Omicron Pi is providing the tan-
gible and intangible benefits to more collegiates and in more
colleges.

There are more than 165 alumnae groups organized and listed
in the TO DRAGMA Directory. Each of the alumnae groups
welcomes the collegiates who left campuses last spring, and
each extends a cordial welcome to alumnae who may have
moved to a new community during the summer.

South Milledge, now a nursery school; and in 1946, the chapter obtained a
lease on the present Delta Tau Delta fraternity house, where Lambda
Sigma collegiates lived for seven years. I n 1947, the chapter purchased the
Pi Kappa Alpha residence at 1190 South Milledge, which is the present
Lambda Sigma location. The residential area around the site was a large
plantation. Community work consists of keeping the gardens in good con-

are kept for public viewing. For the 1964-1965 academic terms, Lambda

When Carolyn Piper [now Carolyn Piper Dorr (Mrs. Louis) ] was a

student at Northwestern she was unaffiliated, as were all the collegiates

who lived in Pearsons hall. These young women were not accepted into

sororities because they lived in a cooperative house to reduce their living

expenses. Carolyn believed there were many fine girls of personality and

ability, but not wealth, who would be splendid sorority members. Through

the efforts of Carolyn and May Barlow Yokum (Mrs. Earl L . ) and their

friends, Rho was installed June 11, 1909. Many interested persons f r o m

other chapters helped in the founding. For example, Melita Skillen, Epsi-

lon—Cornell University, was teaching high school in the area and was

popular with many potential AOIIs. Mrs. Rowe, for whom the chapter

was named, was a friend of Carolyn's mother and made her home available

for many functions in the days before the 1927 building of the chapter

In
Indiana it happened this way

DePauw University • Indiana

F r o m the beginnings of a little club called J . F . F . (Just for F u n ) formed by six

Greencastle, Indiana, high school girls as a take off on sororities, Theta chapter

had its unofficial start. F o r when five of the girls went to college at D e P a u w , they

"stuck together". I n a short time, they were approached by the president of the

University who indicated he would like to see them organized as a national sorority,

and A O I I was the mutual selection. T h u s , on August 22, 1907, H e l e n S t . C l a i r M u l l a n

(Mrs. George V . ) , Alpha—Barnard College and one of T h e Founders, and third

National President, installed T h e t a chapter in the parlor of "Sunny H i l l " , the home

of a member. B y now, 57 years and 700 A O I I s later, T h e t a chapter has had s i x

different locations, each larger than the former. T h e first was a parlor with three

adjoining bedrooms; the last is a beautiful new home with cornerstone rites held last

May 2, which will be occupied for the first time this fall. M a r y Jane F a r m e r H a y e s

(Mrs. L o u i s ) , one of T h e t a chapter's charter members, helped in personally financing

the home which occupied the site that now is the scene of the new house for 68

collegiates. T h e t a has spent 1963-1964 in four annexes while the new house was

being built, but nevertheless, it has been a great year for the chapter. T h e many

inconveniences, rush in the Art Center, meals and dances in the Student Union, and

crowded meetings in the central annex, have just made more fun and togetherness.

Annual traditions of introducing the pledges at the Rose B a l l , honoring parents on

Mom's and Dad's days, raising money for Mortar Board and for philanthropic

projects, and displaying booths at the W o r l d University Service carnival and at

DePauw's Little 500 were continued. B e i n g able to watch our hole in the ground

grow into a beautiful home was the most thrilling part of the year. E a g e r l y Theta

looks to its first year in the new house. I t w i l l be a little sad though to say goodbye

to the annexes; they have become a part of A O I I that we will never forget. Good

deeds continue to be part of T h e t a collegiate's giving, for Panyotis, a Greek boy, is

being supported by the chapter as a philanthropic service. —Donna Leverett

of the other two sororities, the one exception is that A O I I ' s quarters are decorated
in a "modern" theme. I n 1952 Hanover built new houses for the three sororities, a l l
red brick Georgian type. T h i r t y - s e v e n collegiates live in the house, with nearly 40
other members living in dormitories. It was on F e b r u a r y 25, 1950, that M a r y Paschen

every few minutes came another alumna of Omicron Pi, who was rap-

surrounded by a group t r y i n g to decide whether to have the " O " set in

crown pearls. Flowers kept arriving from friends and relatives. Something

was going on in every corner of the Omicron Pi house." Thirty-one were

initiated in afternoon rites and in the evening the group gathered at a

fraternity housing has been lifted and A O I I formed a corporation, pur-
chasing a plot of land in Fraternity Village. Street construction was under-
way this summer. Betty Lois Hansen Breed (Mrs. Sterling) an adviser,
has just finished serving a two-year term as president of the Kalamazoo

from the original group was that of presenting a traveling scholarship cup
