U C H A P T E R is exceedingly fortunate i n that it is allowed the
use o f a room i n the University B u i l d i n g without charge. T h i s
room is c o m f o r t a b l y furnished and is at the disposal of a l l fraternity
members. T h i s permits us to keep our dues down to ten dollars per
year, which is payable annually, at the beginning of each year. The
initiation fee is fifteen dollars. W e feel that it is desirable to keep
the expenses of the f r a t e r n i t y as low as we consistently can because
a large number of our members are self-supporting and we do not
wish them to feel that membership in our fraternity is a luxury
which they must forego.

Last year we incurred considerable expense i n redecorating and

cially, as disclosed by our debt to the Grand Council f o r annual dues
for 1918-1919. A t present we are waiting to hear f r o m the Grand
Treasurer as to the amount i n arrears.

Committees are appointed to take charge of the room each week.
The committee i n charge f o r the week is responsible f o r the cleaning
of the room and is at liberty to do the work or pay some one to do i t .

Owing to the fact that N u Chapter is established in a professional
school, where there are morning, afternoon, and evening classes,
rushing must be done at an hour which w i l l be convenient f o r the
greatest number o f students. W e have f o u n d that this result is best
accomplished by giving late afternoon teas, at which several of the
members act as hostesses, and contribute the refreshments. T h e sup-
per which is served at the initiation is paid for f r o m the funds in
the treasury.

We, i n Omicron Chapter, do not pay monthly or weekly dues, as
the custom was at one time, but we divide the expenses so that each
member shares the expenses equally.

During the period when we are entertaining and meeting new
students, with the idea of bidding, each Omicron member entertains
and spends the amount she wishes. When the b i g parties are given,
