234 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

we thank Edith Broun for inviting us to join them. The alums were
splendid the way they aided our theatre party plan.

On Jan. 4th Helen Schelnin ran a house benefit, engineering a group
which went to the Hippodrome and paid $1.35 for 85c seats. The addi-
tional 50c going to the house. This party cleared close to $25.00. Three
cheers f o r Helen—do it again, yes?

On February 6th Helen Cock ran is running another house benefit, in
the form of a bridge party, which will be held at the house, 69 Wash-
ington Place.

At the same place on the 26th and 27th of February we are holding
a cake and novelty sale. There will be fortune telling, novelties from lc
to $1.00 (brass, Chinese things and what-nots). In another corner we
plan to have a white elephant table. I f you have anything which may be
useful to some one but not to you, send it to us—Christmas presents,
maybe ?

W i t h exams so near everyone is so rushed, but soon they will all be
behind us and the sun will again shine.

Our newest members taken in on Founders' Day are now well on
the way to hard work. Our dear Julia just filled up her committees right
and left so that now every girl is working diligently.

Nu wishes to take this opportunity to thank all our sister chapters
for their kind Christmas greetings. We were very happy to see them
come to our little house.

R U T H GLORIA LAWLOR.

OMICRON—UNIVERSITY OF TENNSSEE

A f t e r our splendid rushing season we settled down to real work.
Besides regular school work our girls have entered many college
activities. Elizabeth Walker is a member of the Advisory Board of the
Junior class and she and Elizabeth Hale were on the University Carnival
staff. Elizabeth Hale is on the Orange and White staff. Katherine
Alexander and Elizabeth Walker are in the Glee Club. Mary Moore
Shanton and Elizabeth Young made the girls' basketball squad. Evelyn
French, Lyna and Sarah Flowers are among the girls nominated for the
beauty contest. Helen Hobson and Ruth Beck are military sponsors.
Our social calender began with a lovely dinner Hallowe'en, given for
us by Mrs. Coykendall, a former patroness and now the mother of one
of our pledges.
Jo. Pratt spent a day with us on her way to install Kappa Omicron.
On December the second we gave a tea at the home of Josephine
Wallace, one of our pledges, f o r all the alumnae, patronesses, and moth-
ers. The house was beautifully decorated by Jennilee McCracken, who
is now a florist.
Founders' Day was celebrated with a supper in the fraternity room,
the loveliest part of which was a huge birthday cake with twenty-nine
red candles.
In way of philanthropic work, we have made a number of dresses
for the Babies Home and have had our freshmen make scrap-books for
the Children's Hospital. Elizabeth Walker and' Elizabeth Hale conduct
recreational hour at the Babies Home. Martha McLemore, Evelyn
French and Ruth Beck are serving every Tuesday at the Y. W . C. A .
tea-room.
I t was a sad let-down after a glorious Xmas to have to settle down
to "boning" for exams—just two weeks off. We are checking up on our
freshmen to be sure that they all make the required C—but of course
they all will.
