l 'X PRESIDENT'S GREETING

• LILLIAN MCCAUSLAND

I TO every girl in Alpha Omicron Pi I wish to send a nurd bf
personal greeting. I have not undertaken the duties of the
presidency with any exaggerated idea of my own importance nor with
any delusion as to my ability. I realize my shortcomings and I ask
you all to help me by cooperating, for, after all, it is by united effort
that the real enterprises of the world are accomplished. This is the
feeling I want to arouse, the incentive to "get together," the spirit of
true fraternity. The officers of our organization are in their various
positions to carry out the desires of the members; and by "members"
1 mean you and you and you. To do this, it is necessary that they
know what you desire. 1 want every girl to feel that she is doing
me a favor when she sends in a suggestion, when she asks a question,
when she makes a constructive criticism, when she shows me by this
that she is actively interested. We are a body of women with many
and diverse vocations and avocations, but with one tie in common.
The mere fact of this should spur us on to give of our best to it,
not as officers and non-officers, but as sisters in Alpha O, with one bond
peculiarly near to us all. As we have lived and hoped and feared
through the years of the world-struggle, now mercifully past, let us
now look forward to the reconstruction period of happiness, joy, and
hope, with the underlying principle of our fraternity for inspiration.

STORY OF CONVENTION
M r i . N . L . McCauJand. Jr., Grand Presid:rU
A F T E R the long train rides, which were taken by many in going
to Convention, the splendid service rendered upon arrival at
Greencastle by the various Thetas with their automobiles, certainly
gave everyone the satisfaction of saying: " A t last, we are really at
Convention." When we came in sight of De Pauw we were delighted to
see such fine new buildings, and soon discovered that the best of every-
thing had been secured for our use. Rector Hall is a very charming
home for the women students of De Pauw. Nothing is lacking for
their comfort, and this, added to the efficient management, made our
days very pleasant and comfortable in spite of the intense heat of
Indiana at that particular time. Ruth Little was the general infor-
mation agent and exchequer of Convention, and thanks to her won-
derful patience and attention all details were taken care of very
satisfactorily.

This Convention, more than any other Alpha Omicron Pi has ever
held, was planned with the idea of conducting a tremendous amount
of fraternity business, namely the entire reconstruction of the constitu-
tion. I t was almost impossible to cover the various details in the
few days and therefore many of the social hours were cut short, and
even the "long wee hours" were used by committees to prepare ma-
terial for the following days. But it was a wonderful meeting and
Alpha Omicron Pi will feel the benefits, we trust, for many years.

We did not realize how many sisters had come until on Monday eve-
ning, when we gathered at the chapter-house and found that although
the house was large and spacious, yet all could not be accommodated
inside. The house was beautifully decorated with Japanese lanterns
and flowers. Ruth Case and Judith Solenberger entertained us with
several very pretty songs. Each girl wore a little card which bore
her name and chapter, so it was fun to look at a card and feel that
no further introduction was necessary. Those who had attended
Conventions before, or had visited among chapters, renewed old
friendships and made them feel that i f Convention served for noth-
ing else but a reunion, it was certainly worth all effort.

As all will recall from announcements in To DRAGMA, this was
to be a singing Convention, and i t carried its endeavor through in
fine shape. A t all meals, and with no excuse necessary for the
etiquette, the groups at the various tables would communicate back
and forth with original parodies and chapter tunes. I t was like a
song exchange, for before the end of Convention, nearly every chapter
had made a new rhyme which i n turn was taken over by the other
chapters.

TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMIC RON PI (

n

The official opening of Convention came Tuesday morning at nine
o'clock, when the first business session was held. The Delta Sigma
words were used in the opening observance. Wilhelmina Hedde, last
year's president of Theta, gave the welcome and the Grand President,
Mrs. Stewart, replied with Theta's motto. Just to look around the
room at Bowman Hall and see so many girls, all interested in the
same organization, seeking knowledge whereby to better that organiza-
tion, was very impressive. Tuesday evening, the beautiful reception
rooms of Rector Hall were decorated with jacqueminot roses, for the
reception given by Alpha Omicron Pi, to the people of Greencastie
and the faculty and students of De Pauw. Since this was the first
convention ever held in Greencastie, there was much interest shown
by the town's people and it was interesting to meet them in this
social way. During the evening, Mrs. Frank Weber, harpist, and
Miss Ruth Murphy, violinist, from Indianapolis, furnished music.
After the guests had gone, we lingered near the piano and sang the
many Alpha O songs, which we love best. Just as we were to
retire, we heard singing from outside and learned that it was a group
of the summer students who had gathered to serenade us. As they
walked away singing, the faint harmony could be heard of Good-
night, Ladies. I t was one of the many pretty and appreciated mo-
ments of Convention.

The weather man turned on f u l l steam for the next day, and our
business sessions were held under the great disadvantage of extreme
heat. Mrs. C. A. Kelley, mother of two Theta's, opened her house
and grounds to us for a garden party in the afternoon. Here was our
best imitation of war. The "machine gun" cameras certainly made
a raid on foe and friend, with consistent and scrutinizing fire. We
"were taken" in groups, as individuals, and even in sections, since
many of the returned proofs show some minus heads and arms. But
such is war! In the evening, was held the most impressive ceremony
one can imagine. The model initiation, pledge ritual, and formal
chapter services were given. Every detail for the occasion was carried
out in the most effective manner. How fine it would have been had
each member of Alpha Omicron Pi seen this evening's work! Not a
hurried word or act, but sincere reverence was emphasized through-
out. After this, the memorial service for the Alpha Omicron Pi
sisters, who have died during the past two years, was conducted by
Mrs. Bickley. As each name was read, a member of the chapter went
to the altar and placed a rose in the ribbon band, thus gradually form-
ing "the sheaf of memory." A short prayer was offered, and at the
close, a beautiful hymn was sung by two of the members. The

the song stunts had to be omitted, but they were frequently sung at
intermissions between the business sessions and social events. A

work and make it a national movement.
Even then, the war seemed more or less vague, far away, and im-
personal. But almost at once, it came nearer to me and was very
real. I was asked to collaborate in the translation of some letters,
written by people in Belgium to an acquaintance of mine, who had
lived there for eighteen years. They were very personal and intimate,
the sort of letters that you receive from your best friends. They
gave the truest picture of the German invasion that it is possible to
have known. They told how troops entered homes, how they killed
the writer's chauffeur by pulling out his lungs with an automobile
hook, how they tortured the cure of the village for no fault at all,
how they herded all the men for a considerable radius in the public
square and shot them. One of the letters was from a man whose
wife went down on the Lusitania. Although it was before America
entered the war, we did not dare to publish certain parts of these
letters.

When the Americans entered the lists, we all responded. Our
youth went across; all the reserves of the world were out. We who
were left behind had work to do, just as vital and necessary as that
which the boys were doing in the trenches, on the sea, in the air. We
had to send aid. The call came and our fraternity responded. Our

would never have to live through a war. For though battlefield Pi
horrors were lightened by stirring tales of deeds of heroism, these had
been for always offset in my mind by the real horrors and unhappiness
of reconstruction days as these had been known in my own Southland.

We are now living through reconstruction days, entirely different
in character from these former ones, but equally fraught with possi-
bilities of horror and unhappiness. To us individually, and to us as
a fraternity, the duty comes of keeping clear our ideals, of keeping
these so clear that they will free us from harrowing uncertainties,
and compel us to consciously assume our definite share in leading the
world into better and surer ways of peace. Alpha Omicron Pi in
planning to adopt a definite form of National Alumnae Work is
planning to undertake her share of the work of reconstruction days.

Our minds have been broadened by the wide contacts of these war
days, and we would never be content now with a work, however
worthy, that was in any way selfish or narrow in character. Nor
should any element of narrowness be allowed to enter into the choos-
ing of this work. However strong the committee into whose hands
the details of this choosing have been intrusted, each and every Alpha
O should feel it is an individual question for her. I t she has any
ideas formed on this subject, she should share these with the com-
mittee. I f she has as yet given the matter no thought, she should
begin at once to do so. For this seeking out where best we may serve
is not rightly the work of a committee, for to be truly our National
Alumna? Work, we must adopt—and we should seek and find—it
nationally.

At the convention in June it was voted to have the new constitution
printed in sufficient quantity so that every member of Alpha Omicron
Pi should receive a copy. The Committee on Alumnae Work is plan-
ning to use and expand this opportunity to come in touch with every
alumna. T o DRAGMA is the one surest way for an alumna to keep
in touch with her fraternity. And keeping in touch with her fra-
ternity is the first step in having an interest and bearing a part in any
work of the fraternity. So the committee wants especially to reach
the alumnae through To DRAGMA. As the next issue of To DRAGMA
is to feature those matters of special alumnae interest, the committee
is working up a plan by which not only the new constitution but this
copy of the magazine will be mailed to every alumna. The chapters

practices. Living beyond one's means might very properly be re-
garded as a form of camouflage, for it is an attempt to do that which
is unwarranted and harmful, yes, and dishonest.

The truth is sometimes hard to tell or hear, but by its shading or
camouflaging a character loses its value. The practice of camouflage
has no place in the finer paths of life. The commercial world, the
home, as well as our social relationships may seem to profit for a
time, but soon the truth seeks its level and the new wave of camouflage
gradually wears off the surface and it takes great work and assist-
ance to establish a new foundation for better living.

Whatever our act or thought, let it be known that at least the
college educated person, because of the advantages of careful guid-
ance and teaching, may detect the flaws in camouflage and resist all
its flattering appearances.

TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA O MICRON PI Si

us. Our winter meetings will not be, as they were last season, in the
hall of a Recreation Centre, but in the Psi House on the University
of Pennsylvania Campus. As you doubtless know Psi is supporting
a whole house this year, and we are to have the privilege and pleasure
of using the Meeting Room for our monthly gatherings. I am sure
it will give us a real "homey" feeling, and we are looking forward
to our first meeting which will be next month. I t is our plan to help
the girls of Psi in the upkeep and management of their house, and
we feel that by holding our meetings under their roof the active
chapter and the alumna; will be held more closely together, and the
spirit of cooperation will be keener.

This letter is mostly about what we hope to do. Since we have
had no meeting, I cannot report what we have done, but 1 am sure
the summer must have opened new roads of interest to many of us
and after confidences have been exchanged at our first meeting I will
let you in on some of the secrets. Just now, all I can say is that I
hope you will have as happy and as successful a year as we are
looking forward to.

Fraternally yours,

C E C E L I A G. GERSON, '17, Chapter Editor.
