204 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Other organizations besides the f o o t b a l l team, however, have been
making themselves f e l t — a n d among these are the girls' sororities.
Despite the fact that i n many instances several of us were a f t e r the
same freshmen, ( f o r there were a quite a number whom everybody
wanted) there was on the whole, an unusually friendly spirit between
the different sororities throughout the rushing season. A n d this year,
instead of each sorority giving a separate reception of their own, we
had one big, formal, Pan-Hellenic reception f o r both the o l d and the
new non-fraternity girls, to which were also invited the members of
the faculty and of the men's fraternities, besides the individual
friends of each sorority. I t was given at the University Club, and
very probably, since everything came out successfully, i t w i l l become
an annual affair.

A n d now we just have to say a few words about our own crowd,
for while we do not like to boast, we must let you girls know that
A l p h a Omicron Pi has been very lucky at U . of T . this year. We
have five of the very best "fish" already pledged, while two more
have asked f o r the Christmas holidays to decide, while at home with
their mothers, whether they shall remain non-fraternity girls, or
become A l p h a Omicron Pi's. Our five pledges are Kathryne Wilkey,
of Chattanooga; Pauline Hobson, of Somerville ; Marjorie Newman,
of Knoxville; Wista Braly, of Lewisburg; and Edith Verran, of
Rockwood. A n d so far, a l l are very docile l i t t l e pledges.

One of our K n o x v i l l e alumna?, A i l c y Kyle, has married and left
us, and although we miss her g r e a t l y — f o r she has been one of our
most interested alumna?—we have no fear that her interest in Omi-
cron chapter w i l l ever wane, and we hope that as Mrs. Peet, of
Boston, she w i l l become associated w i t h our alumna? chapter there,
and so remain a part of our A O n w o r l d .

Kappa is most proud of her eight new sisters. When last I wrote
they were just "goats," but now they are t r u l y of us and we are so
happy to increase our chapter roll at the top of our letter with their
names. The initiation was beautiful and we wished that every A O I I
