154 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

every Monday, when she comes to fraternity meeting. But our
parties were not our most effective means of gaining Freshmen,
we think. We tried more personal rushing this year, and feel that
our list of pledges shows the result.

We enjoyed reading in To D R A G M A of our new chapters, and wish
them to know that we are prouder than ever of them. Upsilon's
home is beautiful, and makes us quite envious, but nevertheless,
we do love our fraternity room. We've improved it a great deal
this year, and it is very attractive. You see, we've been working.

We haven't let Freshmen occupy our minds to the extent that
we have entirely forgotten our fraternity ideals, but have con-
tinued our settlement work, despite excitement. Several of us
have a class once a week. We teach domestic science in its several
branches, besides having story telling and games for the younger
children. Some of the university boys have other classes. We do
not wish to take all the honor to ourselves in this work, for girls
from other fraternities and the nonfraternity girls have joined us.
This draws us all closer together, and makes us appreciate our
opportunities and one another more.

Has this letter been very disconnected and flighty? I f so, that
is the way our thoughts are, for all we can think about is our pledges
and how happy we are. Our wish for all our chapters is that they
may be just as successful as we.

Omicron sends you all greetings, love, and wishes for a happy
New Year!
