ALPHA P H I 91.6 A LETTER FROM NU CHAPTER

R"o 89. Nu chapter of A O I I has reorganized and we feel certain that
89. our sisters would like to know something about us, who we
ETA are, and what we stand for in college life.
ZETA 88.5
N u OMICRON 88.5 W e were initiated May 2, 1924, at the Women's University

OMICRON 88. Emden acted as toast mistress, and Miss Lehing and M r s . Hins-
TAU 88. berg spoke to us on " O l d N u Chapter." Speeches of greeting

OMICRON P I 88. Sallie Burger, in her speech " W e Initiates," introduced the
IOTA new girls and told of their activities in college. W e take the
ALPHA SIGMA 86.3 liberty to publish portions of her speech beginning with certain
UPSILON facts concerning the University.
86.
Psi "New York University is quite different from a University
86. where the girls board—spend twenty-four hours a day, and
OMEGA have no interests or duties outside of the school life during
85.13 the school year. Here the girls come in just for classes and
Pi 85.03 go home when they are through. Some of them commute and
others live so f a r up-town that they have little time for social
CHI 83.9 activities. Then, living at home, the girls have certain obliga-
LAMBDA tions and duties which they have to fulfill and which take up
SIGMA 83. their few leisure hours.

DELTA 79.7 "The student body of N . Y . U . is very complex—fifty per
Nu KAPPA cent Semitic, and the rest composed of all the types found in a
GAMMA 777 city such as this. There is not the freedom and comradeship
EPSILON which one finds in a boarding college where the students are
77.25 in general of a given type. This social problem is the most diffi-
75.4 cult one in the University. T h e League of Women is doing
much to bring about a friendly feeling with its weekly teas and
73.15 parties, but there is still a diffidence and no way of getting
72.6 kindred souls together. Just here is where the sororities do
68.7 the most work and are most needed. T h e y bring the right
68.1 girls together, connect their school with their social life, and
bind them with something more lasting than the casual class
District Avefages— 73.3 work discussion."

83.1 It was to fill this need that on M a r c h 15, 1920, a small
