150 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

During the past two months, since you last heard from us, we have
taken in three new pledges. They are: Jean Fisher, Cedar Rapids, Iowa;
Margaret Stolley, Milwaukee, W i s . ; Persis Talcot, Joliet, 111. We have
also initiated Dorothy Gay, Ottawa, 111., and Deborah Sanborn, Kanka-
kee, 111.

We have all been busy this year with outside activities. Our bowling
team has been doing remarkably well, having won eleven out of twelve
games and so stands a good chance of winning the Inter-sorority Bowling
cup. The skating team has begun practice for the Ice Carnival on Feb-
ruary 10. We are in hopes of winning the skating cup again this year.

For our house fund we have been holding bridge parties charging one
dollar a table. We also have the store selling candy, apples, etc., to raise
money for this same fund.

We are holding a faculty reception January 12 to which we invite all
of our instructors and other members of the faculty.

We are all very sorry to be losing Stelle Johnson who is graduating in
February. Stelle is one of our oldest girls and has long been a favorite in
the chapter. We wish her great success and happiness in her future work.

Eta chapter wishes one and all a very happy and prosperous New Year.

NU OMICRON—VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY
The climax of our rushing season was a tea dance given in honor of
our rushees at the Richland Golf club. This was followed by a dinner
and a usual "Alpha O" night f u l l of "pep" and f u n . The affair proved
very successful and the following Saturday we pledged eight adorable
freshmen. They are Robbie Allison, a little sister whom we are very proud
to claim, Malita Everett, Anne Trice, Katherine Craig, Grace McVeigh,
Mary Thompson, Frances Thompson, and Irene Williams. They have
already caught the spirit of Alpha O and are entering into campus activ-
ities with a great deal of enthusiasm. Anne was elected to "Coeditors."
the Freshman-Sophomore literary club, and Robbie's brilliant grades pro-
claim a future Phi Beta Kappa. Margaret McCoy was elected Secretary of
the 1923 Senior class, and Cornelia Lamb, besides her numerous other
representative offices, is secretary of the Junior class. Also we have sev-
eral girls in both of the inter-fraternity social clubs.

Our Founders' Day celebration on December 8 was even more enjoy-
able than the one last year, and the feature talks on the National Philan-
thropic work and the 1923 Convention were very interesting. We were
glad to have so many almunae with us on that occasion, and wished that
more of them might have been there to help us celebrate.

A brilliant social event of December 19 was the marriage of Mary
D. Houston, our Alumnae adviser, to Charles Madison Sarratt of the
Vanderbilt faculty. They have just returned f r o m Florida and South
Carolina where they spent the Christmas holidays. I am sure that her
many friends in the fraternity at large join with us in wishing her much
happiness in her married life.
