152 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Lorenze. We were very unfortunate in losing another pledge last week,
"Red" Murddock, the fortunate, being a certain man from Buffalo. They
will be married in March, and Red just had to leave school to learn to
sew and cook.

We celebrated our Founders' Day in a most glorious manner. Our
thirteen pledges gave us a wonderful banquet at the Spinning Wheel, one
of the best we have had for years. One large room and the entire mez-
zanine were ours. The decorations were beautiful with thirty large
corsages of red roses \ arrayed around a crystal globe with red ribbons
running to each place. Between courses the pledges gave several extremely
clever vaudeville acts in costume.

Our newest patroness gave a delightful Christmas party f o r us before
we went home. I t was chuck f u l l of excitement and pep with a Santa
Claus and gifts. The actives had take-offs on all the freshmen; but the
pledges were not to be outdone. Two engagements were announced, both
freshmen—Cornie Lampsen with a brand new Sig pin and Red Murddock
with a gorgeous diamond.

Omega certainly was on her feet in athletics this fall. More than
half the chapter went out f o r hockey, soccer, or volley ball; most of these
made squads, and several were elected captains. The rest cheered like
mad at all the big games. W e believe the athletic field to be one of the
very best places to break down narrow prejudices and make friends; and
for that reason we encourage all the girls to go out and try f o r teams.

In just a week the Madrigal club will give their fourteenth annual con-
cert. Five Alpha O's will warble, Helen Ballinger taking some of the
alto solo parts.

W e are glad to announce that Beta Phi Sigma, a local sorority here,
has been granted Delta Gamma. This makes six national sororities on the
campus.

VESTA MAGEE.

OMICRON PI—UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
The new year has started so well that we can scarcely believe that only
two weeks ago, we Watched all our chances to make 1922 count disappear
into nothingness. But we're doing our best to make a good start in Omi-
cron Pi in 1923 and we hope for great success.

We are still—and shall be f o r a number of years—in the throes of
excitement and work for our Woman's League Building. We have had
our big all-campus bazaar with a dance conducted by the Woman's League
also, in the evening. I t was the first dance of the sort we had tried and it
was a great success. A O n gave a Bridge Tea and was able to turn in
twenty-five dollars to the fund. I n fact, every organization of women
connected with the University seems to spend most of its time thinking of
new ways of making money f o r our much needed building.

This Saturday we have our last event of the term—before examina-
tions begin. That event is the Woman's Fancy Dress party. Each group
