CHI

B Y G E R T R U D E S. M A R K S , ' 2 1 , Treasurer
I t seems rather difficult to give the distinguishing characteristics
of Chi's chapter expenses, that is, the ones that w o u l d be of interest
to others. The Chapter and House Treasurers are separate. The
two House Managers, elected by the active chapter, look after rent,
menus, and care of the house. Board and room are paid to them
quarterly. The Chapter Treasurer, therefore, attends to the strictly
chapter business, such as rushing expenses, met by yearly dues.
Formerly dues were paid by the week. There is no l i m i t throughout
the University f o r rushing expenses. Twenty-five dollars is a f a i r
average f o r first semester rushing. I n i t i a t i o n fees are used f o r f u r -
nishings, dishes, and other house improvements. W e have no taxes
since at present we are living i n a rented house.

Just now we are starting a very vigorous campaign for the House
Fund, hoping soon to be able to have a home o f our own. Social
expenses—dances, banquets, etc., are met by special assessments.
Also special assessments are made f o r spoons f o r the seniors as
Commencement presents, wedding presents, etc.

Mrs. Hosley, a very charming and capable woman, lives with us
and acts as our chaperon at a l l times. I n addition, on certain
occasions—dances, receptions, teas, etc., we ask the wives of d i f -
ferent members of the faculty to assist.
