250 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

lightful affair. Mrs. Huntington spoke to us and her simple, direct message
found its way straight into our hearts and made us all resolve to be better
AOITs. Velma Leight Carter, one of our alums, also gave a very charm-
ing talk.

Next Monday night, the 11th of January, there is going to be a Pan-
hellenic banquet f o r the purpose of bringing all the sororities on campus
closer together.

just Frances Norton, one of our grave old seniors, (but loved by all ohfonu -s
the same), was recently elected to Pi Lambda Theta, a national
orary education society.

Marjorie Miller made Wyvern, honorary Junior society.
Elizabeth Cossitt, another of our Juniors and Junior Panhellenic
delegate, was on the committee f o r the Panhellenic ball.

Helen Whipple was made chairman of the Ticket committee f o r
Masques Annual Play, and stage manager besides. Helen's efficiency as
a manager is recognized outside as well as inside the chapter.

ALPHA SIGMA—UNIVERSITY OF OREGON

"In every way, we're getting better and better," even i f we do say so
ourselves. Really, though, we can feel ourselves grow, both figuratively
and literally, and we want our sisters in Alpha O to know it.

Looking over my notes I find that the material I have is just a
conglomeration of facts, but I am afraid I shall have to put them down
as they are, or this letter will be too long.

Since the last chapter letter, we have pledged six girls. Up to Christ-
mas we had pinned the golden sheaf on Roberta Douty and I^ona Hos-
tetler, of Portland: Roberta Wilcox, of Newberg; and Ethel Gasman, of
Spokane, Wash. The term that has just begun has no formal rushing, but
what there is lasts indefinitely. So far, Marguerite H i l l , of The Dalles;
and Emma Belle Woodworth, of Newberg, are wearing the Alpha O
colors.

Vivian Eiker, '28, is not able to be back this term on account of illness,
and Marylee Andrus, '27, has not yet decided whether she will stay in
school or go home for a while. Frances Dodds, '27, came back to us after
attending the University of Washington a whole term. Mary West, '27,
is living in the house this term and taking only a few hours of college
work, as she is working in the Administration office.

Lynn Jackson, our only graduate student, brought her Alpha O sister
around Portland to be introduced to the Alpha Sigma girls who live there.
Here sister is Gladys Jackson, X i , '22.

Roberta Wilcox spoke before the delegates to the High School con-
ference that meets annually in Eugene. She is also on several Y. W .
committees.

Marylee Andrus and Helen Cantine headed two committees of the
style show given before the High School conference. Vivian Eiker, Agnes
Palmer, and Mildred Vaughan were models. Helen was on the committee
of three students to meet with the faculty to arrange for the memorial
services for our late university president. Prince L. Campbell, who passed
away last fall. Marylee was on the ticket committee for Junior Shine
Day, the proceeds of which go toward Thanksgiving boxes for the Eugene
poor.

Marian Barnes is on the Women's League executive council, and on the
hostess committee for the Women's League teas that are held every
Wednesday during the school year to encourage wide acquaintanceships on
the campus. She has also been on numerous committees to collect money
for such things as the Red Cross, and the Daily Emerald circulation.
