206 TO PRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

The Mystic Fish initiation took place at the Alpha O house this
year. Hermine Hatfield, of Lincoln, was chosen as our member of
the Mystic Fish.

As a result of the first pledging of the year, we took in six members,
namely: Hermine Hatfield and Helen Eckles of Lincoln; Lucile
Sanders and Mabel Sanders of Superior, Neb.; Nell Nissen of
Keonard, Neb.; and Nell Ryan of Columbus, Nebraska. They are
all strong and promising girls for Alpha Omicron Pi. We have
recently pledged Dora Scraggin of Oak, Nebraska, as it was time
for the mid-semester pledging.

Our formal this year is to be on Saturday evening of March 28.
The banquet date has not yet been definitely decided.

We found that the rushing rules were better this year than last but
we still agree that the old rushing method is the best.

Then we had the rush week before the school with its studies be-
gan. Now there is too much strain on us, and we are apt to do
an injustice to our lessons.

The University Girls' Club has given several teas and parties this
fall, and several of the Alpha O's have taken an active part in com-
mittee work. The last party, given on the night of the Boys' Corn-
husker Banquet was a great success, there being 450 girls present.
This occasion is a great aid to university girls, because it makes them
all feel that they are one body and so they become more democratic.

We Alpha O's had our Christmas party on the eve of Tuesday,
December 16. We had it at the sorority house and several of the
Lincoln alumna? were present. Instead of presenting each other with
gifts, the house girls gave a large library table to the house, while
the town girls presented us with table linen and napkins.
