186 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

KAPPA OMICRON BECOMES OUR NEWEST
CHAPTER

Ti n ; INSTALLATION of Kappa Omicron came as the climax
of one of the most delightful trips I have ever taken. Cir-
cumstances made a change imperative f o r me, and the installa-
tion of a new chapter furnished the means. I had visited en
route Pi Delta, Kappa, Omicron, Nu Omicron, Tau Delta, our
Grand President, Pi, and associated alumnae chapters, and so
was especially f u l l of fraternity spirit when I reached Memphis,
at six a. m., Thursday, November 19. I was met by Linda Best
Terry, Kappa and Memphis Alumnae, one of the new chapter's
sponsors, Grace Gilfillan, president, and K i t t y Kelley, treasurer

of Kappa Omicron. Mamie

Hurt Baskerville's train ar-

rived shortly after mine, so

we waited and drove her to

the sister's where she stayed.

Then Linda drove me home to

breakfast with her charming

family. During the four days

I spent with her, I had ample

opjx)rtunity to learn the mean-

ing of "southern hospitality."

A f t e r breakfast Linda told me

of arrangements, between tele-

phone calls and telegrams

which began to arrive even

then and kept up till Saturday

Plans included tea at the uni-

versity that afternoon, initia-

tion and banquet Friday, meet-

Grace Gilfillan, Kappa Omicron's ing of the city Panhellenic
President Saturday, (the active going
with all the rest of South-

western to Mississippi for a game with Ole Miss) formal

ritual election and tea at Shirly McDavitt Lake's on Sunday

tea at Ehzabeth Clinton's for faculty friends and relatives on

Monday, then the Memphis Special for New York.
