Greetings from Epsilon:
Once more we are back to the joys and cares of college life. We

are full of enthusiasm and ambitions and we want to "do ourselves
proud" this year. Our very successful last year has inspired us with
all kinds of wild hopes and desires, so we intend to make many of
them more than mere possibilities.

Since this letter has to be sent so early there is very little news
that I can give. The girls are not all here because the opening of
college is a week later than usual. There has been no meeting, so I
know nothing of the plans or new suggestions. Everything con-
cerning fraternities is rather unorganized at the present time; regis-
tration is the great point in question.

During the summer the convention letter from our delegate was
sent around to all the active members of the chapter and each one
had to add a little note of her own. Besides having the benefit of
the convention letter, we had an intimate letter from each girl. We
have decided to have a "round robin" letter next year so that we
can keep in touch with one another.

I am sorry I have to send in a letter so lacking in information and
detail but it is impossible to give it where there is none. By the time
for the next one there will be so much to tell about the new girls, the
new plans, rushing and ever so many things.

Epsilon extends her best wishes to Washington and to Dallas
chapters.

Dear Alpha Sisters All: To each and every one of you. Rho sends

her loving greeting, and best wishes for your success this coming year,

while to the new chapters she extends a hearty welcome to Alpha

Omicron Pi.

We Rho girls have so much to tell you that we will begin at once

with the recital of events last spring which brought us all so much

happiness.

First of all you must know that we have long been striving for

an ideal which we believe will be realized this year; namely, a

Woman's Building at Northwestern, where besides the gymnasium,

swimming pool, rest-rooms, etc., every sorority is to have its fra-

ternity room with a kitchenette attached. The Women's Athletic

Society is engineering the campaign, and we are more than proud

that Mabel Gastfield was elected president of that organization,

with Mabel McConnell, one of our freshmen and the individual

winner of the interclass track meet, as secretary. Following that

election came another, in which Rho was unusually honored, the

Student Council election. Leonora Doniat was chosen as a senior

representative, while Doris Wheeler was chosen as a junior repre-

sentative. Kate Blum was made a member of the Woman's League

Council by her freshman classmates. Soon after this Ruby Peek

and Louise Hoffman took part in the production of Much Ado

About Nothing, which was the play given this year by the Women's

Literary Societies. Then Ruby and Gertrude Nizzie were selected as

members of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Following this came the

announcement that Gertrude Nizzie had been chosen one of the

charter members of the senior sorority, the charter members being

the thirteen most representative girls in the junior class. This,

however, was almost overshadowed by her selection as May Queen,

the prettiest girl in the junior class. I wish you all could have seen

her crowned at the May Pageant; she was a perfect dream of love-

liness. The pageant was such a success that it was repeated during

commencement week; this success we feel was due largely to the

time and unremitting effort which Gertrude and Jean Richardson

devoted to the training of the dancers.

So much for outside activities, although we could add many others

to the list. Katherine Aldrich delighted us immensely when she

44 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI
was awarded a Phi Beta Kappa key. We are now near the top in
the sorority scholarship list, while several of the girls are to receive
upperclass scholarships this year. Commencement brought its share
of joys and sorrows, sorrow at parting from our seniors and joy over
the return of so many of our dear alumnae. We can only mention the
lovely party the alumna; gave us in Glencoe, and our mothers' party
at Esther Vincent's, besides numerous other affairs at the homes of
Evanston girls—and they were many—for the night of June 10th
brought Marie Vick's beautiful wedding at the M . E. church when
she became Mrs. A. E. Swanson, wife of a very popular professor of
economics at Northwestern. The reception afterwards proved a
fitting finale for a splendid year of happy gatherings.

Even during the summer the Chicago and Evanston girls have
enjoyed their weekly "cozy," besides several beach parties, picnics
and luncheons, while house parties have brought together girls from
greater distances.

So now we are all entering with renewed zest and enthusiasm into
a new year of college activities, greatly inspired by the wonderful
reports of those who attended convention.

We have at length returned to matriculation pledging at North-
western with open rushing. We are all eager for the fray and are
hoping we may secure many strong pledges.

Rho wishes the other chapters success in their undertakings this
year.

Once more we are all together at Stanford, and in the midst of a

most strenuous "rushing season." Rushing and freshmen are the

two most important topics of conversation, and the main things in

life, just at present. Last week we had a delightful party at Irene

Cuneo's home in San Mateo. We ate our supper under the trees,

and afterwards danced inside. A few days later, owing to the

generosity of Abbie and Bessie Wood's grandmother, we had another

TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 45

fine out-of-door party at Atherton, in a beautiful country garden.
The freshmen all seemed to have a wonderful time.

This semester we have two sisters with us—Ruth Taylor and Ruth
Chandler, both of Los Angeles. Martha Wolff of Tau chapter,
Minnesota, is also here and is an enthusiastic "booster" of Stanford.

Hazel Hartwell, Martha Wolff, and Ruth Chandler have been
elected members of Schubert Club, and the last one mentioned and
Hazel are also members of the Mandolin Club.

That is about all that has happened so far this semester, but I
hope that the next time I write I shall be able to tell you about our
freshmen.

Our alumnae have been most generous with their assistance this
season. With us have been Katherine Barnes, '10, Adele Ahrenberg
Macomber, '11, Petra Johnson, '14, Irene Cuneo, '14, Reba Bland,
'15, and the three Beegers, Lou, Gertrude and Pauline Barneson.

Also many of the girls have been married lately. They are: Louise
Curtis, '14, to Irmy Clauson, Delta Upsilon; Helene Weyse, '16, to
Charles Benton of Los Angeles; Lylah H a l l , '17, to Edward Jacquins.
May Chandler, '14, has announced her engagement to Roger Goodan.

Besides Lylah H a l l , Flora Reith is the only one of our under-
graduates who did not return this semester.

This year opened with sixteen active members, of which eight live

in the house. We were all glad to come back and meet each other

after having had such pleasant vacations. To be sure we miss the

familiar faces of our senior girls, but we hope they can visit us

often this year.

We were all glad to welcome Mrs. Stowers as our housemother

again. She has spent the last year in Colorado for her health, and

we are looking forward with pleasure to our year with her.

About the first of September we moved into our new home in

Urbana, and we like it very much. I t is much larger than our old

home in Champaign which we loved, but we are sure that we will

46 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

learn to love our new home fully as much. I t is four blocks east
of the campus, and is a large three-story brick house, with a number
of old elm trees in front. I t is indeed lovely inside. Downstairs
there is a large living room with a grate and two large window seats,
and a cosy den besides the dining room and kitchen. On the second
floor are seven large rooms besides a lovely sleeping porch, and on
the third floor three rooms. We should be very glad indeed if our
Alpha O sisters could visit us in our new home.

Last spring, on June 7, in the midst of examination week, Bertha
Stein, '18, was initiated.

We hope our sisters in other chapters are having as splendid a
rushing season as we are. Bid day is October 2 and we will find
some splendid girls for Alpha O. On Friday, September 24, three
girls were pledged who had sisters in Alpha O. We were all glad
to have these girls our own sisters: Martha Hedgcock, '18, Aileen
Hunter, '18, and Hazel Stevens, '19. We are also glad to welcome
Goldie Wadsworth, '17, from Theta chapter.

We wish for all the other chapters a pleasant and successful year
in 1915-16, and we extend the heartiest of welcomes to Upsilon
and N u Kappa.

Every waking thought which is not occupied in the tardy pursuit
of an education, Tau is devoting to relentless rushing. The open
season for freshmen closes at Minnesota, October 1, and we have need
to hasten i f we would get in sufficient of teas, luncheons, "movies,"
and dinners to make the freshmen love us.

The situation is somewhat complicated by slight jars in our
domestic arrangements, for Heaven has not smiled on Tau's kitchen
of late. The cook, quite indifferent to the really extraordinary appe-
tites of our freshmen, has left for greener pastures; and our
laundress, with a singular lack of imagination, has been stealing soap.

TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 47

But these episodes, harrowing as they are, cannot mar our great
content at being back again at work together—not quite all together
for we sorely miss our seniors of "yesteryear."

Tau sends most earnest wishes for the happiness and success of
her sister chapters.

Flour rush, salt rush, rushing parties and rushing season—every-

thing started with a rush at Syracuse the twentieth of September.

Brimming with enthusiasm, too, we came back to our new chapter

home on University Place to which we moved last June. Who

wouldn't be enthusiastic when living in such a hospitably roomy

house situated but one block from the campus!

Reva Snyder and Mary Adams of class '19 and Gertrude Kay of

class '18 are our first pledges. Very proud we are of these, our

new little sisters soon-to-be and wish everyone of you might meet

them. We feel sure they are girls who will accomplish things for

Chi and Alpha O.

Such wonderful reports teeming with inspiration have come to us

from the never-to-be-forgotten convention of last June that we regret

even more deeply, i f that be possible, that our Chi representatives

could not be with you all in California. But we are already looking

forward to and plan to be present in good force at our next conven-

tion.

Syracuse University's registration has crossed the 4,000 mark

with a tremendous bound this fall. Our aim this year is democracy—

a big comradeship—especially among all the college women, fra-

ternity, nonfraternity, campus, off-campus, and city students. To

promote this end we will hold several parties in the men's gymnasium

during the winter to which the 2,000 "co-eds" will be invited to come

and get acquainted with as many sister students as possible.

We wish all success to every chapter during this coming year with

its big and glorious prospects, and to the new chapters we send our

hearty good wishes.

We of Upsilon are so happy that we are members of Alpha O at
last. We are going to strive to be true and worthy sisters and to
make Upsilon a chapter of which Alpha Omicron Pi will be really
proud.

We opened our house on the thirteenth of September with eleven
girls. You can imagine how busy we were that week for Panhellenic
had decreed matriculation pledging. I n addition to our installation
the necessary rushing had to be done. We are happy to announce eight
pledges: Ruth Abelset, '19, Seattle; Mildred Baker, '17, Tacoma;
Louise Benton, '19, Seattle; Eloise Ebright, '19, Seattle; Rose
Elwood, '18, Portland, Ore.; Eugenia Garrett, '19, Seattle; Ruth
Haslett, '19, Tacoma; Hilda Hendrickson, '19, Portland, Ore. Our
pledges cannot be initiated until they have earned twelve hours of
scholastic credit in the university. This faculty rule causes the
freshman girls to remain pledges at least one semester. This will
give us a whole semester to train our pledges "in the way pledges
should go."

TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 49

As college has been in session only two weeks, mixers are the order
of the day. On September 25 the Women's League gave a co-ed
informal, at which the upperclass girls were hostesses to the incoming
freshmen. An all-university mixer under the auspices of the As-
sociated Students was held a week later.

Everyone at Washington is waiting impatiently for the opening of
the football season. For seven years Washington has been unde-
feated on the gridiron in competition with northwest colleges. This
year we are going to meet larger colleges at a greater distance from
home, namely, the University of Colorado and the University of
California.

Thanksgiving Day is Washington's home-coming day. At this
time Upsilon chapter expects the return of its alumna; and initiation
will be held for those who were unable to be with us at installation
time.

It may be of interest to know that Alpha Omicron Pi stood highest
in scholarship this year, making it the second consecutive year we
have been at the top. Delta Kappa Epsilon leads the men's fra-
ternities. The Greek average is higher than that of the non-Greek.

With love and best wishes to all sister chapters, the baby chapter,
Upsilon, sends its greetings.

Dear Sisters in A O IT:

Heartiest greetings from your sturdy baby chapter, N u Kappa!

We are brand new in more than one way, for we were the first fra-

ternity in a brand new university. We do feel very pioneerish and

important down here in the wild, wild Southwest. We are going to

send you some pictures of the campus, but aside from five big

buildings, professors' houses and a few pecan and bois-d'arc trees,

there is nothing in sight but fields and fields of Johnson grass and

a steam roller. I t is growing more beautiful every day, however;
a football field, tennis courts and walks have sprung up almost in a
night. We are also watching traditions in the making.

Our enthusiastic student body is the largest number that any uni-
versity or college in America ever opened with, and our prospects
are glowing.

The charter members of N u Kappa are, of course, the pick of the
university. We had a wonderful installation. Linda Best Terry, K,
came down from Memphis, and Mr. Linda came with her. Julia
Anna Smith, K, of Kansas City and Nell Streetman, K, of Houston,
Tex., Courtney Chatham, K, of Aledo, Annie Kate Gilbert, K, Le-
land Laure, K, and Olga Shepherd Thomas (Mrs. C ) , K, all of
Dallas, were also here. The charter members are: Margaret
Vaughan, '17, who came from Kappa; Margaret B. Bentley, who
went to convention last summer; Lucinda Smith, '17, from Wellesley;
Maude Rasbury, a most enthusiastic freshman; Martha Smith, a
rising young musician; and Erma Baker, who comes from the far
western plains and who has been elected vice-president of the fresh-
man class. Margaret Vaughan has the honor of being president of
Panhellenic. Our pledges are prizes. They are Louise Pendleton,
'18, of Durant, Okla.; Nelle Graham, '19, of Graham, Tex.; and
Genevieve Groce, '19, of Dallas.

We have a most attractive and cozy little fraternity room with a
piano and divan and tea table. The alumnae have been most kind
in helping us furnish it.

We are looking forward to a visit from Elizabeth Bryan, K, from
Alexandria, La., Marjorie Hicks, K, of San Antonio, Tex., and
Genevieve Bowman, K, Hillsboro, Tex. We should be glad to see
some of our other sisters, especially those from Pi—they were so very
good to us.

We are all most proud to be Alpha O's and we send our best love
to our sisters.

New York alumna? chapter held a special meeting September 11,
to vote on the petition from Texas University and discuss the pro-
posed constitutional amendments. Viola Turck reported informally
on her convention experiences and roused jealousy in all the stay-at-
homes by her description of all the delightfulness of California,
Californians and Alpha O's in general.

There was so much important business to be transacted that dis-
cussion of plans for the winter's work was laid over until the regular
October meeting. I t will be very pleasant to have the Grand Secre-
tary in New York this winter. I t will help to keep the chapter
in touch with national affairs.

Alpha Chapter members of the New York alumna? chapter were
deeply touched by the action of the Convention in granting a con-
tinuation of f u l l privileges to Alpha chapter. The real Alpha spirit
was never more delicately expressed.

The Secretary urges all Alpha's who plan to visit New York, even
for a short time, to communicate with her. Address Luise Sillcox,

called and six new members were initiated. Irene Cuneo from
Lambda, Claudia Massie Lawton, Margaret Weeks, Claire Hart Ma-
gill, Mary de Witt, and Alice Freuler from Sigma.

New Charity work was discussed. One of the families we previ-

help two very needy elderly women who are struggling to keep out
of the poorhouse.

Sigma chapter gives a bazaar every year, the proceeds to be put
into a building fund for the new chapter house. We discussed
plans for making this bazaar an unqualified success in both a social
and financial way.

You will all be interested to know that Isabelle Henderson, our
new Grand President, was quietly married on September 20, to
Benjamin Franklin Stewart. She will make her home in Sierra City,

Our little chapter consists of twelve members, living in and about
Providence, except three who are in Hartford, Con., Middletown,
Conn., and Fitchburg, Mass. Our meetings average seven members,
and are held once a month. Thus far we have not tried to accomp-
lish anything beyond keeping in touch with each other through the
college year.. The fact that we are widely separated makes any-
thing other than a good social time together, once a month, well-
nigh impossible. We are all so busy that our meeting means a
chance to relax for most of us. Of the twelve all but three are
married, and of the threft only one is not regularly busy, and she is
kept tied at home. There are thirteen children belonging to five of
us, and I might mention that five of these are in one family. So
you see some of us have good cause for wishing to relax at the
meetings.

Greetings to you, Sisters all,
As we meet again this Fall.
May this new year bring to you

Welcome, welcome, Sisters new! Secretary.)

The Los Angeles alumna; chapter held its first meeting for the
season on October 9 at the home of May and Frances Chandler in
Los Angeles. We spent a most enjoyable afternoon in exchanging
news, making plans for our winter meetings and discussing the
form our charity work should take this year.

We shall meet every month, on Saturdays preferably, so that as
many of our teacher members as possible may attend. Most of the
meetings will be held at the different homes of the members as this
provides a better opportunity for privacy, but we will vary this with
an occasional luncheon and matinee party down town.

For the present we decided upon, as our charity work, the assess-
ment of a "charity tax" on each member, to be used in the purchase
of substantial food for the filling of Christmas baskets for the needy.
A committee of three was appointed to attend to collection and dis-
bursement of the funds. A l l materials to be bought at wholesale
rates. The girls were encouraged to add to this fund in addition,
any contributions they might be able to collect from friends, and also
toys or any useful and suitable articles of clothing.

The girls also agreed to send as many small articles as possible to
be placed.for sale at the annual fair conducted by Sigma for the
swelling of their house fund. We all hope that the fund will grow
greatly this year, and that the desire so near their hearts—a home
of their own—may soon be attained.

In our exchange of news there were several items of interest—that
of the engagement of Grace Dickinson, Lambda, to Roy Harris
of Pasadena; and of the weddings of May Chandler, Lambda, to
Roger Goddan, Stanford, '13, and of Helen We5'se, Lambda, to
Charles Benton, Phi Psi, Kansas University.

We are all hoping for a helpful and enjoyable year of meetings and
hope that any visiting Alpha O's will be sure to notify us of their
presence in Los Angeles so that we may all have the pleasure of
meeting and having them with us.

The news in this letter I am afraid you will find pretty old but
perhaps none the less of interest. You see we have had no meetings
since last May. We are eagerly looking forward to our coming
meetings and all are f u l l of hopes and plans for a profitable year.
We had two meetings in the spring, however, that you haven't heard
about.

I n April we met at Pauline Lamprey Hall's home in Med ford.
She is one of the chapter's brides and we were all very delighted to
have her for a hostess. There was the usual goodly number present
and convention monopolized all conversation as you may well
imagine. We were pleased to have with us at that meeting Esther
Burges of Alpha chapter. She is now residing in Medford and we
hope to see her frequently hereafter. We were so sorry to find it
was Coila Anderson's last meeting with us. She was most faithful
in attendance all last winter, so that she seemed quite one of us.
We hope she is now well and happy and hasn't forgotten her Boston
sisters.

Our May meeting was the last of the year but by no means the
least. I t was held at "Brownie" Keating's home in Waltham and
you all know what a good time that means. I t was our second joint
meeting of the year with the active chapter. The alumnae had a
record attendance and the active chapter was substantially repre-
sented too. The business end of the meeting was promptly trans-
acted and the officers then serving were reelected for the ensuing
year. I t seemed so good once again to see at this meeting "Trilby"
Heywood and Abigail Nickerson. They both live rather beyond an
accessible radius to our meetings now and we miss them very much.

This being the last meeting of the year, also a joint meeting, and
particularly being a Brownie's, we laid aside all rules and regulations
and indulged in a most extravagant menu for supper. And Brownie
is the most wonderful cook—she makes the most ordinary dishes
taste like rare delicacies. The minute you enter Brownie's home you
subconsciously feel an increasing appetite, for one and all are aware
of the treat in store. And once the repast is served, an onlooker
would find it highly amusing to observe the concerted attempt not

TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 5S

to appear ravenous but, all in vain, for one finds after all she has
consumed more than ever since—the last time at Brownie's. And
her desserts! No words are sufficiently adequate to describe their
lusciousness. I am always reminded of Dickens' description of the
Cratchits' Christmas dinner and the unbounded enthusiasm of the
family in anticipation of the plum pudding and the burst of glee at
its appearance. I t hardly exaggerates Brownie's guests at the advent
of her desserts. Now, can you wonder at the record attendance
meetings at her home draw?

Etta Phillips' wedding to Elmore MacPhie took place Septem-
ber 4, in Chelmsford, Mass. Although it was quite a distance from
Boston, a large number of A O lis attended. Etta looked perfectly
beautiful, of course, and Mr. MacPhie appeared a very happy man,
as well he might. They are now living in Minneapolis and we are
sure you Tau girls will all love Etta as much as we do and will
help to make her life in a "strange land" happy and contented.

Boston alumnae chapter extends congratulations and best wishes to
the new officers of the fraternity and confidently looks for great
prosperity under their supervision.

During the summer so many of the Zeta alumna? have been out
of the city, that it has been almost impossible to hold our regular
monthly meetings. However, in July we had a special meeting,
with Edna Harpham, which proved to be very interesting, although
the attendance was small. Grace Gannon, who represented our
alumnae chapter at the convention in California, and who had only
returned the day before, was present—and such an enthusiastic report
as she gave! We felt almost as though we had been present at
the Convention, and there was not one of us who did not wish that
she had. Grace had several snapshots with her, and gave a glowing
account of the meetings, the trips to the Exposition, the trip to Le-
land Stanford and the Banquet. She could not say enough in praise
of the hostesses.

Since then Edith Hall has returned from California and is no
less enthusiastic over our Alpha O sisters and the convention than
was Grace.

The alumnae chapter always give one of the series of the rushing
parties for the active chapter, and this year, with Edith Hall as
chairman of the Committee, we gave a dinner-dance. The dinner
was at the home of Mrs. Herhert Grainger (Helen Westveer).
There was one long table and four smaller ones, the sorority colors
being carried out in the decorations and the menu. After the dinner
the girls went to the chapter house for dancing.

Two of our Zeta girls, who live in the East, spent part of the
summer in Lincoln and were enjoyed by us all, Maude Williams
Heck of Raleigh, N . C , and Helen Piper Hagenbuch of Cleveland,
Ohio. A number of parties were given for them. Helen tells us
that there are four Zeta girls living in Cleveland, Eunice Bauman
Steufer, Miriam Carter Smith and Gertrude Mohler Krajecik, be-
sides herself. The girls every now and then meet for the afternoon
and they say there is nothing that they enjoy more. They wonder
if there are not some other Alpha O's in Cleveland, for all of the
four are Zeta girls.

Jennie Louise Piper who was in Boston during the summer
reports a very pleasant and interesting visit with Rena Greenwood,
'15, Delta at their summer home at North Yarmouth. Then on
her return she and Elsie stopped over two days at Barrington, 111.,
for a visit with Corris Damon Peake. Corris certainly has a lovely
place and three of the most interesting children.

Annie Jones, who has been at Ocean Grove, N . J., with her
father and mother for seven weeks, has returned to Lincoln and
will be with us again this winter.

We have just received word that the active Zeta chapter have
pledged eleven freshmen. They are very excited and enthusiastic
over this result of rush week and they say that the eleven are all
splendid girls. We of the alumnae are proud of them, and it makes
us wish that we were in school again, for rushing, pledging and the
school life together were such a satisfaction and such fun.

We send our greetings to all of our active and alumnae chapters
and especially to our new sisters at Seattle and Dallas.

The Chicago alumnae chapter of A O IT entertained the active
chapter of Rho at the home of Mrs. Harriet Moses at Glencoe on
May 5. A May Party in the woods had been planned but as the
weather prevented this, the Active and Alumnae girls spent the
afternoon pleasantly, together with games, conversation and singing.

On June 26, Mr. and Mrs. Peake of Barrington, 111., entertained
the members and their husbands or friends. Mr. Peake is manager
of an 2400 acre farm and this picnic at their home, which has
become almost an annual affair, is looked forward to every year
by all who have ever enjoyed the Peake's hospitality and all who
anticipated it for the first time. Mr. Peake met the party at the
train with a hayrack and every minute of the time spent at the farm
was enjoyed by everyone—especially the bountiful supper served by
Mrs. Peake out of doors at one long table.

The Rho girls and the Chicago alumnae girls gave a farewell party
recently for Mrs. Julia Clemes, at the home of Frances McNair
in Kvanston, and presented her with a beautiful traveling case.

iBetty Hiestand, who had a serious operation on her throat in
August, is improving slowly. She is not going to teach this year
but is planning to remain at home in Evanston and take some work
at Northwestern. Chicago chapter will appreciate her presence
here again.

Soon our meetings will begin once more, and we shall enjoy
renewed pleasure and fellowship. Chicago alumnae certainly sends
best wishes to her sister chapters, and especially to our two chapters.

certainly proud to have an alumnae chapter here and although small
in number now, we are strong in spirit and see much to be done
for A O H.

Since we were just organized we thought it best to meet during

on vacations, our numbers were sometimes small but we enjoyed
every meeting and look forward to spending many delightful after-
noons during the winter months.

her a member of our alumnae in the near future.

Our August meeting was with Ruth Ritchie. A t this meeting
we gave Ethel T . Walker a stork shower. This was a surprise on

Ethel and a happy one it was, too. She received many beautiful

gifts and we just had lots of f u n out of it. A t this meeting we
had two brides present, Rose W. Krentzinger and Bearl H . Gwart-

Katherine Mclntyre, ex-'14, Anna Hoffert, '15, and Jessie Faye Ed-
mundson, '13, will desire to become members too, since their work is

Louise Clarke Blood, '09, is at her old home in Chicago, where she
will stay until spring, when she will return to her home in Wyoming.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Benjamin (Nelle Erskine, '12) are very
pleasantly located in their new home in Haywarden, Saskatchewan,
Canada.

Louise Woodroofe, ex-'16, is continuing her art study in New York
City.

Many of our alumna? are finding time outside their home duties
to engage in many different activities. Elva Pettigrew, '09, coaches
plays; Mildred McDonald, '09, is interested in china painting; Susie
Hubbard, '12, is pianist at her church, and very much interested in
its activities; Hazel Alkire, '12, is pipe-organist at her church; Ethel
Watts, ex-'15, and Pearl Ropp, '12, are studying music; Inez Jayne,
M.A. '12, is interested in choral work in Minneapolis,—and so might
we continue through our list of alumna?.

We alumna? are very, very glad that Mrs. Stowers has returned
from the West to be chaperon for the active chapter again. We know

TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 69

that our younger sisters are under the care and guidance of one of
the loveliest women we have ever known. Mrs. Stowers has such
a beautiful personality that it is a very rare privilege to be associated
with her. No woman in the university community is better known
or more highly respected and admired by faculty members, their
wives, and students than is our dear Mrs. Stowers, and no woman has
done so much for Iota in every way as has Mrs. Stowers in the five
years that she has been Iota's "second mother." "To know her is to
love her."

The alumna? have presented a silver loving cup to the active chap-
ter. Each year there is to be engraved upon the cup the name of the
Alpha O freshman who makes the highest scholarship average for
the vear. The alumna? thus hope to give a stimulus for better
scholastic work among the freshmen, and thus to raise the chapter's
scholarship average. You should not get the impression that our
active chapter is low in scholarship; rather, it ranks among the
sororities of high scholastic average, but we alumna? feel that there
is no reason why A O I I should not head the list of twelve sororities,
instead of being third or fourth.

Katherine Mclntyre, ex-'14, was on board the ill-fated Eastland
at the time of the disaster, and by her presence of mind and her
ability to swim she was able to save the lives of her mother and little
brother, as well as her own life. Needless to say, all of Katherine's
relatives as well as her Alpha O sisters are exceedingly grateful that
she was saved, and are very proud of her, too.

Of Iota alumna? who visited the Panama Exposition there were
Susie Hubbard, '12, Ada Paisley, '11, Erna Reller, '11, Hazel Alkire,
'12, Cora Mae Lane, '13, and Mabel Jackson, '15.

The active chapter sends a letter semiannually to each of its
alumna?. This letter contains an account of the scholastic, social,
and financial status of the active chapter, with interesting accounts
of many varied university and chapter activities. The alumna? look
forward eagerly to the receiving of the letter, which has proven a
very effectual aid in retaining the interest of the alumna? in their
active chapter and in their alma mater.

Much just criticism has been made in various issues of To DRAGMA
as to the way in which active chapters neglect their alumna?. How-
ever, it is the opinion of some of the interested Iota alumna? that
there is often much which might be said in commendation of the
active chapter, and in adverse criticism of some of the alumna?. The
active chapter is often negligent and careless about its correspond-
ence—there's no use denying it, but alumna? are equally negligent.
Surely we alumna' are not so "far removed" from our college days

70 TO PRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

that we have forgotten how very busy college girls are all the time—
especially i f they have the responsibility of the management of a
chapter house;—Yes! college girls are busier than are we alumnae
in our homes or in our other work!

Is not one of the purposes of To DRAGMA to inform alumna as
well as active members of the activities of the various chapters?
Invariably the alumnae who are not so interested in their "home"
chapter as they should be, are girls who do not acknowledge the re-
ceipt of alumnae letters, who do not send information about them-
selves to the active chapter (such as marriages, births, changes of
address, etc.), and who do not subscribe to To DRAGMA. I t seems
to me that we should have a negligible amount of criticism to make
of either the alumnae or active members, i f our alumnae would all
subscribe to To DRAGMA, would send necessary information about
themselves to the active chapter, would correspond with each other,
and would then depend upon a semiannual or even annual letter for
more intimate information of the activities of the active chapter.

NEWS OF THE COLLEGE AND GREEK-
LETTER WORLD

SOME WEAPONS USED I N TEXAS

(We are indebted to the Reference Bureau News Bulletin for the
following extracts from letters in favor of fraternity organization and
life. The letters with others were used in the recent Texas con-
troversy against fraternities.)

"When in college I found my fraternity associations most delightful
and helpful and beneficial. I believe the Greek-letter fraternities,
as a rule, exercise a very positive and wholesome influence. I am
heartily in favor of them."

CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS,

Former Vice-president of United States.

Your statement "You were a member of a Greek-letter fraternity
in your collge days" is true. I smile, however, at that statement be-
cause it is only a very small part of the truth. I am still as loyally a
member of Sigma Phi as I was in my undergraduate days. Indeed,
my affection for, and interest in, Sigma Phi has been augmenting
through the years. I owe to my college fraternity a debt which I
shall never be able to repay.

Thus, you see, I believe thoroughly in our Greek-letter fraternities
even though, in some institutions, and at some times, the undergradu-
ates in the fraternities have not been properly guided, and have given
themselves to excesses and have not recognized their obligation to the
fraternity and to the college. At Wesleyan University the frater-
nities are my right arm of strength in administration. There is not
one in which the leading spirits do not stand for the highest and
the best.

WILLIAM ARNOLD SHANKLIN,

President of Wesleyan University.

I suppose I value my college education as highly as most men, and
yet I have often said and I am glad to say again that i f I had to
surrender out of my life the formal learning I got in college or the
social and spiritual benefit derived from my college chapter, I would
prefer to try some other way of getting the formal learning.

I went to college without having had much contact with men.
Throughout my entire college course and even subsequently thereto
my chapter and my fraternity supplied me friends and associates of
the most tender, inspiring kind. My life in the chapter house was
surrounded by helpfulness and friendliness. I did not discover in

72 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

my associates any snobbishness toward nonfraternity college men, nor
have I ever been willing to believe that a college chapter worthy of
our better fraternities could be otherwise than a source of inspiration
and emotional benefit both to its members and to the college life of
which it forms a part.

NEWTON BAKER,

Mayor of Cleveland,

COLLEGIATE

The students of Swedish Universities have no college fraternities,
but the nearest approach to them is at the University of Upsala where
what is known as "nations" exist. Membership in a nation is re-
quired by university law. These nations are formed by the organiz-
ing into groups of the students from the different parts of the coun-
try. The nations are famous for their singing, each of them vieing
with the others in song. Upsala has about 2,000 members of its
student body. Those who have studied students ways in all parts of
the world are convinced that the nations of the Swedish students are
only another vindication of our own fraternity system. I t is human
nature to organize, and the only way to kill it is to kill human nature.

It is a noteworthy thing that William and Mary College which
produced the first college fraternity is also the mother of the honor
system. The first college fraternity was organized there in 1776,
and the honor system followed it some three years later.

An analysis of grades earned by fraternity and nonfraternity
students at the University of Washington shows that the "Greeks"
stand higher in scholarship than do the "independents," and that
sorority women surpass all other students in classwork. I t also shows
that the women of the university surpass the men, regardless of mem-
bership in secret societies.

Fourteen of the fifteen sororities on the campus outstripped the
average of scholarship set by the university as a whole, while only
seven of the twenty fraternities exceeded the general average.

October—The Delta of Sigma Nu.

From The Eleusis of Chi Omega we glean the following. Would
that all chapters of all fraternities might consider rushing as an
"incident"!

Rushing is an incident, not the main business, of all organized social life.
A fraternity is one form of organized social life.

Two of the rarest gifts of the gods are a capacity for friendship and a
sense of humor. The possession of these gifts is essential to the attainment
of Chi Omega's standards of selecting new members. These standards are:

1. Choice, not competition.
2. Good manners.
3. Sportsmanlike conduct.

From The Alpha Phi Quarterly comes some splendid advice as to
selection of members. Both Alpha Phi's conservatism and the
strength of her national standing bear witness to her following her
own teaching. The first paragraph is from the Quarterly itself;
the second from a reprint in that treasure-house to the fraternity
editor, Banta's Greek Exchange.

We find a timely quotation in an old Quarterly: "Thou shalt not be snob-
bish in thy choce of new members"—the eleventh rushing commandment it
is called—but it seems to us it might well be the first and the second. We do
not mean snobbish merely in the matter of judging girls by the externals of
dress and looks, but snobbish in the matter of looking for and recognizing
scholarly ability and latent talents which might be quickly developed in the
appreciative atmosphere of the fraternity. We mean particularly in the mat-
ter of considering the timid, retiring freshman who often makes the strongest
senior and is as often overlooked by the fraternity. Heed the advice of the
alumna: who are better prepared to judge undeveloped character. Take time,
look twice and be willing to be influenced by the advice of the older girls!

Who should not become a fraternity woman ?

There is first of all the girl whom we will call the "real" independent.
She may be an, excellent worker, a girl of high ideals, in short one of the

TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 75

finest types of college women. But her methods are not those of the fraternity.
She works better alone, and lacks the communistic instincts which would en-
able her to render her best services in cooperation with others. The fraternity
is apt to work more smoothly and to endure less friction without her, and the
girl will feel less hampered if she goes her way alone, working after her own
fashion for the same ideals for which the fraternity strives. To be successful
she must indeed be strong.

Then there is the girl who thinks of the fraternity only with regard to
herself. She wishes to join the organization merely for the sake of its national
standing or for some other benefits which she personally may derive from it.
Of her I warn you, girls, beware, for she is like the "sucker" on the rosebush,
waxing strong itself, but sapping away the strength of the bush. Too often
does she number herself among the fraternity groups though all unworthy
to do so.

More pitiable still I find the type of girl who aspires to a fraternity because
she figures that once a fraternity girl her position is assured. She can then rest
on her laurels, confident that her pin will carry her through college with no
fnrther effort on her part. She, too, is one whom we find enrolled in our asso-
ciations, and I'm sure that when she is, her sisters frequently are ashamed of
her—but what does she care, she doesn't even have to be ashamed of herself if
they spare her that trouble.

On the whole, however, I believe that there are very few girls who would
not benefit from fraternity life; but there are many cases where the fraternity
life would be more benefited and beneficial without the girl who cannot work in
cooperation, and the girl too selfish to sacrifice herself for the common interest!

You see our light has not been "under a bushel," but "upon a
candlestick," and it is giving "light unto the whole house."

It has been said by some of the leaders of the fraternities that there are
things which our sisters of the sororities do better than we do and we doubt if
there is anyone who will question that. Among those things which they have
done better it has seemed to us that the matter of study and research of general
fraternity matters is one. Very many of the sororities, if not all, practice a
system of special study of the other sororities and of the fraternities and by
an ensuing examination disclose the result of the study. By this system the
sororities have been able to learn particularly of the things well done by their
rivals and they have not been ashamed to imitate each other when they dis-
covered a rival was doing certain work better than they. It has remained, so
far as we are aware, for 2 I I only, among the fraternities, to inaugurate a
similar system, and to lay upon its chapters the duty of a systematic specialized
study of the other fraternities and of general fraternity matters, as we sug-
gest in a news note elsewhere in this number. The sending of the series of
questions to the chapters implies study and the awarding of a trophy annually
adds a little sporting interest to the work. The plan is one to be imitated in
some form, for in the past there has been a woeful lack of general information
among our undergraduates as to other fraternities. Greater knowledge begets
greater respect in this case. It is to be said that the enthusiasm of our younger
brothers is constantly bringing something new to us.—Banta's Greek Exchange.

76 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

In the Greek Exchange for August appeared a splendid article on
"The Future of Women's Greek-letter Fraternities" by Ruth Haynes
Carpenter, Grand President of Kappa Alpha Theta. We give here
the concluding paragraph, which sums up her conclusions as to that
future.

And of that future what? To sum up its practical possibilities in one gen-
eral abstraction, it would seem that the greatest thing we have to look forward
to is our opportunity for keeping alive ideals in an increasingly practical age.
The practical things, the giving of service, through the multitude of activities
encouraged, the lesson of leadership, the lesson of self-expression, and of con-
servation of energy, all are animated by the vision of the ideal, to which we
may at best but draw nearer. "But we are too busy living our ideals to talk
about them" is a remark that passes as current coin i n society today. Well,
perhaps we are. I hope so. But is it possible that such an expression is an
excuse for the absence of ideals, a shamefaced unwillingness to recognize them,
or a cloak with which to cover the paucity of their number, or the meanness of
their character? I hope not. At any rate, and for whatever reason, we are,
as a people, increasingly reluctant to admit the presence of ideals anywhere
within our ken, and may women's fraternities of the future do their part to-
wards keeping the fineness of life among the actualities! Into whatever path
of life, may the college fraternity woman fare dauntlessly, giving herself
gladly in honor of her fraternity and of her womanhood. So may she live her
ideals, and, because self-recognition is compelling and wise, may she some-
times speak them !
