After about three days our pledges will no longer be on the pledge

list. Panhellenic made a rule requiring the girls to pass the first

quarter of their work before they could be initiated. Our examina-

tions came before the holidays, and our girls successfully passed them

all. Since our last letter Louise Pendleton. '18, has been initiated.

About the first of December we had a tea at the Dallas Country

Club, and invited a large number of the students. It was just a

little informal affair, but if they enjoyed it as much as we did, they

must have had a very good time. However, when we were the jolliest

was in our own little fraternity room together, on the night before

Christmas eve. We had gotten a pretty Christmas tree, and some

gay decorations. We left enough room for the gifts, which were not

to cost more than twenty-five cents each. This was an understanding

among us, so that we might give better presents to our room. Carrie

Crane, Kappa, '16, now in the University of Missouri, and Anna

Kate Gilbert were with us. I t was suggested that we find a poor

family to whom to give our tree, so that they might enjoy i t ; but we

found that the servants were planning a Christmas party, so we let

them have it for their fun.

The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M . C. A. are doing active work now, and
are interesting almost all of the students. The boys are lining up
for baseball work, but practice has hardly started. Our number has
increased and everyone is still very enthusiastic over the University.
1 here is a good spirit of democracy among us girls, and our common
cause is supporting anything which is of benefit to our college activi-
ties.

(The Editor recently received a letter from the President of Nu Kappa,
asking that an error, which occurred in the November number be corrected.
Mr*. Margaret Bonner Bentley, whose name was given in the November num-
ber as a charter member of Nu Kappa and as a pledge at Randolph-Macon,
w a s not a pledge at Randolph-Macon, although she is, as was stated, a charter
member of N u Kappa.)
