the expenses are divided among the members. We do not have any
taxes. T h e rent f o r our f r a t e r n i t y room is the only certain expense.
We pay this out of our initiation fee. We live in a dormitory and
are under the chaperonage of the Dean of Women. A t our dances,
the alumna; or faculty ladies chaperon us.

KAPPA

BY CHAPTER TREASURER

Like a l l of you, we are confronted by various expenses and we
have various ways of meeting them. Our monthly dues practically
cover a l l of our immediate needs. Special assessments are made f o r
a l l social functions. O n the first and t h i r d Sunday evenings during
the month, we have open-house to the faculty and student body at
large. T h e girls take turns, i n groups o f two, as hostesses. Each
hostess pays one dollar to the treasurer t o w a r d our Serbian F u n d
which is a stated amount that we have subscribed toward the sup-
port of the two Serbian girls educated by the college. On other Sun-
day nights, the fraternity is at home to its members only, and the
hostesses serve l i g h t refreshments at their o w n expense. We also
have a system of fines which add to our treasury. T h e fines are
levied as f o l l o w s : tardiness at meetings, fifteen cents; unexcused
absence, twenty-five cents; failure to observe housekeeper's rules, ten
cents; and failure to pay monthly dues on time, ten cents.

From our initiation fee, forty dollars is taken each year for fra-
ternity representation in the college annual. The remaining money
is spent on our house improvements. We have limited our after
meeting suppers to once a month in order that we may give forty
dollars to the Jubilee Fund

We do not live i n our house and therefore do not have a special
fraternity chaperon. Our housekeeper is elected f o r the year f r o m
the chapter and with the assistance o f two girls appointed each week,
must see that the house is kept clean and i n order.

Expenses are a necessary evil and ours are peculiar to the condi-
tions here, but this is the way we use to meet them.
