140 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

ZETA—UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
You would all love to meet our new chaperon, mother Ayres. We know
that she has Alpha O at heart and is going to be one to whom we can al-
ways turn. Mother Ayres has an Alpha O daughter, Helen, ex '18.
The freshmen showed a lot of pep and gave us a clever Christmas
party and we were so glad to have some of our alumnae down f o r it.
They can not come too often to please us. You can just tell by looking
around our house that Alpha O was remembered at Christmas. During
vacation the Omaha alumnae gave a tea f o r the active girls there and f r o m
all reports the girls had a fine time.
Lois Haas and Dorothy Woodward will graduate in February. Dorothy
is going to leave us right away and i f she were not going to have such
a perfect trip to California we might keep her here. Lois is going to do
her best to teach school right near us.
Mercedes Abbott was elected member to the Honorary Teachers' col-
lege society. Bonnie Hess is now a member of Theta Sigma Phi, Women's
Honorary Journalistic Society. Some of the girls are doing Americaniza-
tion work. Now we are all starting on a drive to sell "Cornhuskers." One
of the biggest events of the year is to be a Carnival and A O n is to have
a booth. We are going to have regular rainbow costumes and just make
folks want to buy what we sell.

Right on the heels of final exams comes mid-year rushing. W e are
planning on few but clever parties. We'll let you know the results of it
later.

SIGMA—UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
Sigma Chapter had a most prosperous and happy fall semester. Each
girl not only was interested in A . O. Pi alone, but we each had our outside
interests, as social service work or campus activities.
We did not initiate until after the second mid-terms in November
last semester. Our freshmen proved to be great poets and skilled act-
resses on that day. Initiation ended with a formal banquet.
We had a real Hallowe'en party on October 21st, with pumpkin faces
as lamps, black cats f o r programs, and pumpkin pie and coffee f o r eats.
On November 17th we gave our formal tea and dance.
The fall term was rather late in closing, so the spring semester did
not begin until January 15th. We have hopes f o r great success in the
coming terms.

THETA—DEPAUW UNIVERSITY
A great many things have happened since last letter. As a small
part of our charity work this year we gave a Thanksgiving party f o r the
children of the Orphanage. I really believe we had more f u n , or at least
as much, as any of the kiddies.
Earlier in the fall the chapter gave a delightful tea f o r Mrs. Chilton,
our new chaperone f r o m New Albany. Shortly afterward our Freshmen
