makes us appreciate all the more the chapter room which alone makes
sociability possible. We have also given a tea i n honor of the Grand
Secretary, an alumna; dinner, a Founders' Day dinner, and a New
Year party. And those of us who were wise enough to accept
Cecile's invitation one Sunday afternoon, had most delicious tea and
sandwiches and a glorious view of the Hudson at Sunset.

Nu wishes you all a happy 1916.

Sue Bryant, of Lewisburg, Tennessee; Marian Swain, of Lemon
City, Florida, and Lynn McNutt, of Knoxville, Tennessee. We
are surely proud of that list, and know they will make dear, loyal
sisters of Alpha 0 . Saturday after we pledged them, we gave a
party in their honor, and in honor of our mothers and patronesses.

We gave only five rushing parties this year, since Panhellenic
