106 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

CONVENTION AND Y O U !

GREETINGS

Without you, Convention will be incomplete! If you miss
Convention, you, too, will be denied one of the happiest ex-
periences of your life! There is no one, who has ever had the
good fortune to attend one Convention, but wishes she might
make the pilgrimage again, to enjoy its spontaneous friend-
ship and gain anew the inspiration and vision born of the deep
purpose of the Fraternity.

Convention is going to be a happy, happy time, but it is
going to be a very busy occasion withal. Alpha Omicron P i
stands at a crucial period in her development. Guided by the
experiences of constructive growth of the past twenty-six
years, true to the teachings—broad as humanity itself—from
which spring the principles of our existence, we shall labor to-
gether in the consideration of momentous policies. T h e re-
sults of our deliberations will test the worth of our organiza-
tion as never before and weigh our loyalty to the ideals we
have voluntarily adopted. Upon the action of this Conven-
tion will largely depend the part Alpha Omicron P i is to take
in greater service to the college world, to the promotion of
educational interests, to the advancement and enrichment
of the world in which we live. W e have obligations! W e
have aspirations breaking their bonds and demanding fullill-
ment! How thrilled we should be that we have a part in such
a program, that we sense our responsibilities, that we are
moulders of the future!

That member in the active chapter—who is most repre-
sentative of your chapter—who can contribute most to the
constructive discussions at Convention, who can carry back to
you the enthusiasm and message she there receives and whose
lasting influence will find reflection in the life of the chapter—
it is that member active chapters should send to Convention
as their official delegate. It is to be hoped that as many
alumnae chapters as possible will be represented in person
by an official delegate. Most of all even—we hope for a
goodly attendance of all members—especially those who are
not delegates, are urged to be present. The spirit and mes-
sage of Convention should touch the whole membership. Your
attendance will accomplish this. Your services and your ad-
vise in the matters to be considered are invaluable to the
Fraternity. W e need one another.

Without you Convention will be incomplete! There is
work to be done requiring the united energy and wisdom of
all of us. There is to be a continual round of good times and
