TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 139

were mighty proud to pin the red and white on nine of the finest Freshmen
on the " H i l l . " They are all excellent material, and know something of
what the fraternity stands for, while three of them, being little sisters, are
well up on the subject. We are now looking forward to a time not far off
when we can call them real sisters in Alpha Omicron Pi.

The Annual U . T. Carnival was held Dec. 16th, and our stunt "A Music
Store" won the sorority cup, thanks to the Freshmen who got it up and
carried it out.

Basket ball has replaced football, and we have an unusually good
team, two of the girls being "letter men."—We are hoping that they will
allow inter-sorority games this year.

Exams are not far off and, of course, we will all have to study hard
after the holidays, but our Freshmen are good students and we are not
worrying about them.

We are all delighted that the A. O. Pi Convention should come to
Knoxville, and are looking forward eagerly to meeting and knowing most,
if not all, of you.

KAPPA—RANDOLPH MACON COLLEGE

For the first time in all of Kappa's life, she can announce the results
of the season's rushing this early in the school year. This is due to the
fact that our system has been somewhat altered so that we had what we
called "Promise Day" on November the eleventh—when bids were issued
as usual and those wise ones who chose A. O. Pi (and shall we say the un-
wise ones who chose otherwise?) were formally bound by a promise to
be followed, i f enough work is passed on examinations, by the usual
pledging on pledge day in February. We had a most exciting day, and
concluded it with a banquet at the house in honor of the "promisees."

We feel no hesitation about saying that we are absolutely satisfied
with, and inordinately proud of, the seven girls who were "wise." One of
them is class president, and all of them are leaders in class affairs. No one
can imagine what a relief it is to settle down with mind at peace after six
weeks instead of five months of hectic rushing.

Randolph-Macon had the honor of being hostess to the Student Gov-
ernment Conference of Northern Colleges in November, and we were
delighted to have among the delegates, a sister A. O. Pi from far-off
Maine, whom we all found most interesting. We only wish there could
have been more of our kith and kin present.

On Founders' Day, we had, with the alumnae, a ritual meeting, and
supper at the house. The house, by the way, has been newly adorned
within and without—new rugs, new curtains, and upholstering, and a fine
new roof to top it all. The alumnae gave us a beautiful lamp and we
wish you all could pay us a visit while we are so dressed up.
