Kappa
To DRAGM! Establishes $ 1 5 0 Scholarship At Industrial School
By ELIZABETH CALL, Randolph Macon Woman's College
JUARan eightfive and our newfrom thetunate. sisters' cfiever dothe ThetGamma next doorority roThursdAt the first meeting of Kappa this year it seemed so natural for all of us to be together again in the Alpha O house that it was hard to realize a whole summer had passed by. The absence of last year's seniors brought it home to us however, and we rea- lized that nothing can quite make up for our losing them.
We were all very much interested in hearing about convention from Fan White and Kathryn Pfau, our two representatives there. T o judge from their glowing reports of all the things that happened, all the places they went, and all the people they met, their "going west" must have been very fine indeed. When they had finished telling us all they had to tell and answering all our many questions, the rest of us felt that we had almost been there ourselves. However, we have already begun sav- ing our pennies so that when the next
convention comes we too will be there, not only in spirit but in person also.
The first big event of Kappa's cal- endar for. this year was the initiation of our ten sophomores: Sara Ander- son, Anita Lamar, Harriet Pope, Mary Broughton, Dorothy Gilliam, Sara Neville, Eleanor Powell, Anne Shinkle, Edith Walthall, and Paula Vogelsang. Catherine Wingfield was pledged the following day. A l l of them entered immediately into the chapter activities and proved great assets in Freshman rushing, in-
to which we had to put all our time, energy, and thought soon after initiation. According to Pan- hellenic rule the Freshmen are enter- tained at four teas by the sororities rushing them. The day after the last tea is Promise Day, which turned out to be a lucky day for Kappa. Each tea was in charge of a committee which planned it and submitted the plan to the rest of the chapter. A l l four teas, an Autumn, a Mexican, an
aeroplane, and an Alpha O tea, were cleverly worked out and very success- ful. W e promised eight new girls, Elizabeth Jones, Edwina Colburn, Mary Tatum, Lela Germany, Rebecca Wright. Jeffe Swain, and Doris Mink- witz. T h a t night the chapter enter- tained at a banquet for the Freshmen and as many of the alumnae as could be there. Allof our promisees made high records f o r the first quarter which is just over, and we are very proud of them. Elizabeth Tones and Rebecca Wright were also elected by the class to be on the Freshman Cabi- net, of which Rebecca is now secre-
tary.
On Dec. 8 we celebrated Founders' Day. In addition to the regular Founders' Day service we had a shower followed by a supper for Utjfl Freshmen, the alumnae, and the chap- ter. Since we were able earlier in the year to paint the inside of the house and the porch and to get some additional furnishings, and since the
sophomores presented the chapter with some beautiful china and glass ware, we decided to make it a kitchen shower.
At our last meeting we voted to give a scholarship of $150 to be used to send some girl recommended by competent authorities to the Southern Summer School for Industrial Girls. The school is to be held each year in a different section of the country to give the girls of different sections an opportunity to attend it. This pro- ject, though new is very worth while- Last summer it was very successful, and the board in charge of it are very enthusiastic concerning its future- The school is under the tutor system, and some very eminent teachers af taking part in it. Our scholarship fund is to be made- up partly from the treasury and partly from the vol«n " tary gifts of the chapter members » i Christmas.

But two social events are permitted by the Jackson Panhellenic council for each sorority during rushing sea- son, . a two-hour tea and six-hour party. The former was held on Nov. 30 at the home of Justina Klebsatte! (Delta '30) with a large number of guests. Delta's custom of singing the fraternity songs before an open fire-
place was followed on this occasion. (So far we've been lucky enough to find a fireplace each year.)
Portia Russell's borne was the scene of the "big" party. Gaily deco- rated within, the house was brightly marked by a large AOPi light over the entrance. The guests were fewer and were entertained by a cabaret. During the turkey dinner which Ma- rion Morison (Delta '17), Alice Spear

We were exceedingly fortunate in getting these girls, for four of them are gifted in artistic lines, three are musicians, several are excellent stu- dents and all are lovely girls. In fact two of them already have won cups for us.

One interesting event inaugurated this fall was a fire-light service Mm which alumnae, actives and pledges participated. During the evening we discussed the Founders, the beginning
of the fraternity, the foundation, and ideals. W e found that after many in- cidents, anecdotes, and stories had been related, and we had sung our songs, a new spirit and stronger bonds held us together ; that, in fact-

Finally we saw and heard—
Grace with her "My Dears!" and Evelyn with her shining eyes and ex- cited ways soon took us on fairy wings from clear old Philadelphia to enchanting Seattle. Each and every one of us breathed and enthused "ooh."—how we wished we were there to meet every one of our sisters in Alpha O. Later when everything was told, and school had started de- finitely, we turned our thoughts to such disturbing elements as house cleaning and rushing.
Putting the cart before the horse —our rushing season was most suc- cessful, and we of Psi chapter cer- tainly hope that you will be as for- tunate. W e now have thirteen charm- ing and ambitious pledges, every one of them eager to further the honor and glory of Alpha O on the Penn- sylvania campus.
The pledges are:
Rhoda Baily—whose charm has won everyone's heart.
Irene Bickerstaff—whose sweet manners plus a certain badge have established a common bond between herself and our esteemed president.
Ruth Bogaty—our talented Fine Arts student whom every one can't help but love.
Elizabeth Grey—Betty, like Rhoda, has that indefinable something that "gets" you.
Elizabeth Haines—blond, vivacious and Marion Simon's pride and joy.
Molly Jardine—she has the sweet gentleness of a white dove.

Dorothy Masterson—the good na- tured, always ready, always willing and agreeable to do anything, in the way of answering door bells, the in- sistent telephone.
Lilas Montgomery—the protege of our newest sister, Ann Warner—wit- ty and agreeable.
Gladys Nickerson—Though we do not see much of her, what we have seen has made us long for more.
Gladys Parkes—blond and full of pep, wholly adorable and absolutely dependable.
Cornelia Patterson—a quiet pirl, hut of the type who just makes von feel she's there, a girl who is surely a good, progressive worker.
Caroline Thompkins—a southern girl who dances, talks and conducts herself in her own natural adorable way; you should see her clog!
From my short, if somewhat flow- ery, descriptions of our pledges you have just a little idea how sweet and desirable everyone of them is.
Betty Haines has been quite ij with pneumonia recently and W"l not return to school until after Christmas; we miss her so very much around the house. .

Homecoming this year was the big- gest Alpha Sigma has ever enjoyed. Over twenty alumnae came back to visit us, and nine of these were char- ter members of the chapter. Meet- ing them and hearing their tales of Alpha Sigma's early days made us appreciate more than ever the char- acter of the girls who were respon- sible for our chapter.
Oregon had no Thanksgiving vaca- tion this year. Classes met regularly all week except for the brief Thurs- day holiday, and students were not permitted to leave the city because of the prevalence of infantile paraly- sis throughout the state. We were naturally feeling rather glum—until we saw our Thanksgiving dinner. The pledges had decided to give us a surprise, and it was a lovely one. The table was decorated with two

Alpha Sigma has been having her full share of fun. too. The members gave an informal dance just before Hallowe'en in honor of the pledges. The house looked very lovely in its dress of pumpkins, cornstalks, and lighted witches. Quite different was its appearance for the Inappropriate Dance, one of the impromptu affairs which were scheduled for Thanks- giving week-end when the campus learned that there would be no holi-
days. Bath-robes, waste-baskets and signs of everv description adorned the rooms. Some of the windows were bon-amied. some covered with papers, and the music-room book case was made to resemble a cup- board liberally supplied with pots and pans. Everyone entered into the spirit of the occasion and had H most delightfully different good time.

made the plans for the ensuing sea- son. One summer rush party was held, and the "prospects" certainly looked promising.
Our return this fall was made happy by many things— the nicest of which was our new house mother. Mrs. E. B. Sheldon. It is to her and her kindness and guidance that we owe no small part of our suc- cessful rush season, and improve- ments in the little niceties that are characteristic of an Alpha O. She has cooperated and helped us at every turn, and we are devoted to her. Several weeks ago we gave a tea to the members of the Faculty to introduce M rs. Sheldon, and they were unanimous in their praise of her.
Our rush season, with Ruth Bar- nard in command, was conducted with the most ease, dignity, and suc- cess of any that Pi Delta has known. Our reward was more than we dared hope for, and our pledges are Julia Arnold, Madaline Bernard, Virginia Blount, Lenore Blount, Jane Ham- mack, Mildred Ketler, Phyllis Kress, Joy Linton, Grace Maxwell, Ruth Miles, Margaret McGarvey. Gwen- dolyn Sargent, Virginia Smith, Mar- tha Ross Temple, and Elizabeth Walton. Fifteen of them— and not a one who isn't a real prize package.

Since October I have been occu- pied, presumably, with the office of the Activities Committee—to see that the girls enter the extra curricular activities of the college. Upon my election I checked up on each girl before starting my campaign. Alas! My position was merely a perfunc- tory one. Three-fourths of the girls and many of the pledges were en- gaged in as many as the school al- lows, and every one of the actives and pledges was in at least two.

Alpha O had a float in the Bir- mingham-Southern and Howard par- ade before the football game which was to open the stadium and contri- bute to the American Legion. Jane Hammill, Christine Saunders, and Jenny Wood made suitable represen- tatives for the best sorority on the hill (Is that pardonable pride?) and put the finishing touch of beauty to our car. All of which reminds us that our girls helped Southern sell more poppies than Howard, on Ar- mistice Day.
Now, having told you everything nice about us; and hoping no one else will find occasion to disillusion you, I shall wait for news of all of you.

Needless to say Alpha O took her share of prizes. Our ten pledges are: Mary Lou Powell, Algerita Terry, Frances Shields, Louise Newbold, Lucille V an Winkle, Rowena Moore, Virginia Marshall, Therese Allen, Jereline Haddock, and Edna Meizenheimer. Both Therese Allen and Frances Shields are younger sisters of Kappa Thetas, and Algerita Terry was a pledge to N u Kappa.
As the year goes on Kappa Theta is getting right into the spirit of school again, both in scholarship and activities.

Cornelia Christmas with a small staff is busy selling Year Book reservations. In short it is our aim to have every Alpha O an active worker for U. C.L.A.
Hallowe'en was celebrated with a dance at our new house, which was decorated with jack o' lanterns, stalks, crepe paper, witches and all things lending themselves to the spirit of the evening. Everyone was dressed in hard times costumes and we just had a grand time. There were two girls from Sigma at the dance, who had come to Los Angeles to see the Cali- fornia-U. S. C . football game.

The mothers of Kappa Theta were entertained at a tea given in their honor by the chapter on Nov. 9, The mothers are just as enthusiastic as we girls are about all of our plans for this year. They have organized into a Mothers' club with Mrs. Batty, president; Mrs. Ruratti and Mr& Suinnierbell, secretary and treasurer, respectively.

Chi Delta Wins Two Panhellenic By LUELLA KOERNER, University
Scholarship Cups of Colorado
There are so many things about which this first letter from Chi Delta should tell you, that I scarcely know where to begin. But first of all, I do want to tell you that we who have now been Alpha O's for the long space of six months, are realizing more and more that our thrill and pride in our fraternity is indeed a strong and vital thing which grows amazingly in our hearts.
We feel that we were very fortun- ate in that three of our girls were able to attend convention: Frances Kimsey ('28), president for this year, Imogene Hadley ('28). and Catherine Roff ('27). These girls came back to us, full of enthusiasm and inspira- tion. Even yet they fairly glow as thev tell us about Stella Stern Perry, about Elizabeth Heywood Wyman, about Rose Gardner Marx, about meeting so many girls whose sisters they are proud to be, about the friend- ly, unselfish Alpha O spirit, about the thousand and one happy memories that they have treasured in their hearts.
as we were, and did everything in their power to help us. We were very proud indeed to pin our little golden sheaves on our eight new pledges: Audrey Lamont, Hazel Lee, and Vio- let Ward of Denver, Colo.; Mabel Brown of Montrose, I olo.; Mabel Frye of Windsor. Colo. ; Ethel McCoy of Sublette, Kansas; Dorothy Mc- Donald of Pueblo, Colo., and Hesper Tucker of Lamar, Colo.
Three cups now adorn Chi Delia's mantel. The smallest is a first prize, given for the largest >ale of 192/ Coloradoans. However, it is the other two, to which I wish to call your especial attention. One is a silver cup, presented l>v the local Pan- hellenic association for the highest sorority scholarship average on this
campus for the three quarters of the school year. The other is a large? cup of hammered brass, chased with silver, which was presented to
the Denver Panhellenic association, also in recognition of our high f C '1 0 * arship attainment. Each of these cups may he kept permanently by tfi? sorority winning it for three succes-

A s a result we have on our calendar a Japanese T ea, a Gypsy Camp, a Rose Dinner, a Green Par- rot Breakfast, and a Balloon Dinner. Gladys Rice and Marie Bowden, of Zeta, were with us through the whole of this rush week, and you can't imagine how glad we were to have them, and how very much they helped us. When the time for their depar- ture came, and we all joined hands and sang Epsilon chapter song very softly, we felt as though we were los- ing sisters who were an integral part of our own group.

And now a word about our Alpha O Mothers' club. They really de- serve an article all to themselves, however. All that they lack to be real Alpha O's is the pin; for they certainly have the true Alpha O spirit. They have meetings regularly, meet- ings which are very well attended by mothers who come from Boulder, from Ft. Lupton, from Denver, and even from Florence. Last Christ- mas they helped us to buy a silver tea service for our house. A t installation time they presented us with a lovely- mirror. This fall they gave us all the silver for our house, and have, since then, been making such things as tea towels and comforters for us. Mrs. Haynes sent us a box of canned fruit and vegetables. Their next plan, they say, is to help us with our table linen. They are always glad to ad- vise us and to help us, and we depend on their loyalty and cooperation even more than we realize.
Our dads, too, although they haven't organized a club, have sure- ly shown their interest in Alpha O. We did so enjoy having them with us at a "Dinner for Dads Only" on the Sunday of Homecoming week. More- over, we are the proud possessors of an exquisite Madeira lunch cloth, the gift of Mr. Foster, and of a new Alpha O letter-plate, made of the gilded letters set on black iron rods, given to us by M r . Scott.
A few weeks ago Margaret Eman- uel sent us a lamp for our living room. I do believe that we get more real enjoyment out of these gifts to the house than we do from personal gifts.

DRAGMA
Beta Theta Has Talented By FRANCES E . SHERA, Butler
Pledges University'
the wHaun('27) Beta Theta chapter feels just a little timid in sending its first letter to To DRAGMA. However, we girls are eager to tell you how happy we are to be sisters in the wonderful fa- mily of Alpha Omicron Pi.
On Sunday afternoon following our installation on Oct. 1, the Indianapolis alumnae gave a formal tea at the beautiful home of Mary Gertrude Manley for Beta Theta chapter and Grand Officers. T h e invited guests were the faculty of Butler university, representatives from the fraternities and sororities on the Butler campus, and the parents and friends of the
girls. The initiates wore their beau- tiful rose-bud corsages which had been presented to them by the alumnae. A harpist played during the receiving hours.
We have seven pledges, and we are quite proud of them. Beaulah Phil- lips, president of the pledges, has a fine soprano voice and is a soloist in the Butler Girls' Glee club. Enola Deane is our pre-medic student. M a- rian Archer is a pianist and aesthetic dancer. M arjorie Fleurey shows
much talent as a violinist. Miriam Schad is an artist. She planned and did much of the artistic work on our booth at the bazaar. Miriam Cosand has just been honored by having her essay, "Gallery-Last Row," published in the Cocoon, the Butler university literary magazine. Ruth McClurg is an assistant in the public library.
Perhaps you would be interested in knowing how Beta Theta lives. Well, you see, we are so young that we are just doing "light housekeeping" this winter. Next fall, however, when Butler university moves to its marvel-
ous new campus, our sorority will have a real home. We are now occu- pying three very desirable rooms in a private tiome which is only a square from the Butler campus. We have a large chapter room which is cozily furnished, and two bed-rooms occu- pied by three of our out-of-town girls.
We have given several Rush teas in our chapter room on Sunday after- noons. Vivian Smith, our sponsor, graciously assists on these occasions.
Saturday, Dec. 3, the fourteen soro- rities on the Butler campus held a Melting Pot Bazaar at the Spink1 Arms hotel. Each organization was given a booth to furnish and decorate. The proceeds from the sales go to- ward furnishing the Women's build-
ing in our new Butler university. Beta Theta had charge of the linen booth, and I can assure you we had a beau- tiful booth and a splendid display of linen. O u r booth represented a wish- ing well, and the sales girls were dressed as gypsies. O u r sorority donated liberally with gifts of linCS and the Indianapolis alumnae also
came forward with beautiful pieces of linen. This aided us materially in making a splendid offering to the bazaar.
Our chapter is very fortunate W having the loyal support of the In- dianapolis alumnae. W e have an ad- visory committee from the alumnae composed of Vivian Smith, Mary Gertrude Manley and Katherine Schmidt.
We will join with the Indianapolis alumnae in celebrating Founders Day, Dec. 10, with a luncheon at the Columbia club.

Aside from the Founders' Day Ban- quet, we have little to tell. We have been trying a new plan this fall in regard to our meetings.

Between courses we sang all the Alpha O and college songs we could think of. Although we did not have any of the Founders present, we felt we came pretty close to it in having Alice Thomson of Alpha chapter as
toastmistress, who was initiated by
one of the Founders and attended col-

Rush was no sooner over than along came the big installation event, of which you have

When we came to our full senses again we had a meeting at Mildred MacDonald's house. Here came our treasurer, Katherine (Katy) Schmidt, moaning and tearing her hair because of the pitiful state of the treasury. This condition, of course, had to be remedied. Several of us promised to pay our dues very soon, and we ar- ranged to let Mary Gertrude Manley have another rummage sale. This put us temporarily on our feet. We also increased the dues one dollar an- nually. Our sale of Christmas cards is bringing in some revenue. Then Mildred MacDonald, general chair-

In October Lucile Hood was hostess to the group in her lovely new home in Eastmoreland. After luncheon was served and enjoyed we discussed plans for Founders' Day, and ways and means of making money. The girls are diligently canvassing their friends and relatives in an effort to sell Christmas cards. In January we are going to have a rummage sale, hence we are all storing away articles that we no longer have use for, but which might be the means of adding a nickel or two to our coffer.

The been luncheIn was tSheehWoodwere hThe first of N u Kappa's luncheon meetings was held at the home of Catherine Rasbury Flythe and Maude Rasbury Courtney on Sept. 20. A t this meeting three new members, Betty Smith (Theta), Artie Lee Hol- land and Mary Terry Smith were present. Since this meeting we have added to the alumnae roll the names of Lois Turner, Dorothy Sauer, Mildred Pepple, Margaret Kizer Bennett. W e are glad also to replace the name of Josephine Beaty who has returned after fifteen months' ab- sence. She accompanied her husband who received the Kahn Traveling Fellowship for 1926-1927.
Meetings have been held the first Friday of every month since Sep- tember. Betty Smith has been elected to take the place of Marguerite Cox Wood as secretary. The sale of Christmas cards having proved such
a success in the last three years, it. was decided to continue this work with Maude Courtney as chairman.
On Sept. 26, a tea was given for the active chapter and their rushees. The pledges of this rush season were in- vited to meet the alumnae at the Oc- tober meeting which was held at the home of Louise Zeek, our president- It was also at this meeting that Louise told us of convention. This informa- tion was of great interest to all of us, of course.
Our birthday party on Founders Day was given at the home of Mar- garet and Mildred Pepple. It w.as a very enjoyable and informal affair. After singing our favorite Alpha t songs and having the greetings fro"1 the founders read to us, a Iov«j* birthday cake was cut and served to fifty guests.

Our next meeting on November 8 was held at the home of Berl Zemers with Edna Studebaker and Berl as hostesses. Plans for Found- ers' Day were discussed.
The meeting which looms before us within the next few days is to be the biggest meeting so far this year. It
is to be at the home of Arline Ewing with Arline, Hedwig Sloan and Grace O'Brien as hostesses.
Our president, Hedwig Sloan has been appointed Alumnae District Superintendent of the Ohio Valley District which she has told me is not so much honor as work.
Mrs. Gertrude Kray who was quite active in our chapter last year has resigned as social secretary as she did not feel able to attend the meetings this year. W e shall miss her help in our meetings this year and are sorry to lose her.
The meetings after Christmas are to be held at our regular meeting place of last year, the High Noon club. The first meeting early in Jan- uary is to plan for a benefit bridge to be held the last Saturday in January,.^ The married women of the chapter are to be the hostesses.

Shirley Lake was hostess to the October meeting, which devoted most of the time to plans for our tea for Kappa Omicron's rushees. The "Old Guard" present was delighted to wel- come some really-truly Kappa Omi- cron alumnae, Mary Frances Y oung, Grace Gilfillan and Kitty Kelly. Also the Kapna girls rejoiced to introduce to the rest of us Mrs. C. D. Smith (Mary Craig. Kappa Ex.T4) who will work with us this year. Another new member present was Louise Thoma- son of Nu Omicron, who was very promptly elected to be recording sec- retary. It was pleasant to have Mary-
Hills Divine with us as a visitor.
On account of stringent rushing rules, the alumnae were limited to one tea for Kappa Omicron's rushees. The actives allowed us to have the initial party, and we gave a harvest tea at the chapter house. Ruby Toombs Turnbull (Kappa Ex'24) was in charge of arrangements. Sometimes I fear we impose on Ruby, but she is such a wonder at managing that we just sternly suppress our compunctions and call on her re- peatedly. This tea was no departure from her list of successes. T h e lodge was decorated with autumn foliage, always so lovely in Tennessee, and with quantities of cosmos, dahlias and chrysanthemums, loot of Ethel Terry Barham's raids on her friends' fall gardens. Ruby and Shirley received and our debutante members, Gwyn Cooke and Louise Harwood, presided at the tea table. Alumnae turned out nobly and tried hard to be charming to the twenty rushees our actives pre- sented to us.
The alumnae joined with the ac- tives in observation of Founders' Day. This year we left all the prep- arations in the hands of the actives, and they arranged a ritual meeting at the chapter house for us. followed by a banquet in the Venetian room at

The September meeting was a lun- cheon at Pine Lake with Frieda Dor- ner, where we discussed plans for the year's work.
Margaret Ball had the meeting in October and was assisted by Dorothy Wiesler. After dinner, we spent the evening, sewing on layettes for the Family W elfare society.

We celebrated Founders' Day at Leonora Brauns. She was assisted by Sue Fishedeck. W e had a lovely bunch of red roses on our dinner table and enjoyed hearing the letters sent by our founders. They were a real inspiration to all of us. W e have found that a dinner, given at the homes of our members before the meeting brings out the girls and creates a lot of interest and good fellowship, which we do not otherwise get.
Christmas cards, magazine sub- scriptions and the sale of paper pro- ducts through the Boyce Brothers company- are keeping us busy these days, earning money for the chapter.

Our Christmas card sales have been very successful, considering the fact that we were rather late starting on them. O f course, the proceeds will go toward making some little crippled boy or girl a wee bit happier. Mildred Mullins has been an un- usually alert chairman of the card committee.

on Michigan avenue in Chicago. Af- ter much searching and investigating for a worthy cause, we decided on this home. So much extra money is needed for braces, crutches and other necessities, and what is more pathetic than a crippled child? At this first meeting we made arrangements for a rummage sale and the sale o f Christmas cards.
Our rummage sale was both rich in money and experiences. It was held in the midst of Chicago's black- belt, so trade was rushing from the minute we landed until we left. O u r prices were very low, and we felt that we were not only benefiting our- selves but the customers also as we offered our wares so reasonably. T h e very next week Vera Riebel was try- ing to talk up another one.
Our Christmas card sale has also been a grand success. T h e selection of cards was very exceptional and little trouble to sell.
The second meeting was held with Janet Wcismueller. Here we all be- came acquainted with our new mem- ber, Regina Brauns. Most o f the meeting was spent in laughing over

CTof HoDenver Attends Denver PanhelJenic Meeting By KATHRYN MILLISACK ACTON
en Masse
Since the last chapter letter, we have grown from seven to fourteen members. A larger group has helped to inspire our renewed enthusiasm in Alpha O, in as much as we are now given some recognition when men- tioned before a group of middle west- ern college people. Five Chi Delta girls have joined our chapter: namely. Dolores Zemke ('27), Kathryn Roff
('27), Nell Scott ('27), Grace Clark- son (Ex.'30), Pauline Kanavil (Ex. '29). Also Nell Dickerson (Omicron Pi), and Bell Cook Kullman (Zeta). Helen Campbell (Rho), one of our first girls, is now teaching in Man- kato, Minnesota. Evelyn Van Horn (Lambda), is attending Cornell uni- versity, getting her M. A.
Our first meeting this fall was held at the Denver Athletic club. We then made arrangements for our rummage sale. With so many of the girls teach- ing, or otherwise employed, there were only four of us to help; but we were amply repaid for our work. Part of our earnings were used in purchasing a gift for the new Chi Delta chapter at Boulder.
For Founders' Day, we drove to
Boulder, and celebrated with the ac- tive girls; at which time we presented our gift for their present home.
-And now I come to the most im- portant part of this letter. On Oct. 22, the Woman's Panhellenic assfe ciation of Denver held their annual luncheon at the Olin hotel. At this time every year the scholarship cups are presented to the University of Denver, University of Colorado, and the Colorado Agricultural College. For the last three years the Chi Delta chapter has held the highest average of any sorority on the campus at Boulder; but not being a national sorority it was not granted the cup until this year. Mae Ethna Dowd
(Chi Delta), made the acceptance speech, which was unusually vvel given and made us feel very pr°iid of our new chapter. The Denver Alumnae was 100 per cent present, so Alpha O made a fine showing 0 0 that day. The Chi Delta chapter be- ing new, we are all \erv happy ovn their achievement, and only hope tW? record can be held and in two mQf«
years the cup belongs to the R permanently.

The most remarkable thing to me about convention was the personality of the girls. If those who are wor- ried about the younger generation could have seen that troup of dele- gates, they would now be hunting for fresh causes for worry.
The creation of a national survey was, indeed, the greatest achievement of the last convention.
One very outstanding result of convention was the expressed plan of many delegates to transmit to their own chapters a feeling which they
had gained— one of Nationality, "° Locality.
The greatest achievement of c°"t vention was the resolution to
