TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 125

A Board of Directors, consisting of three members f r o m the active
chapter, the President, the Fraternity Treasurer, and the House
Manager, and f o u r members f r o m the alumna?, meets each month to
supervise the management of the house finances. T h e active chap-
ter pays to the corporation each month as rent a sum sufficient to
meet the interest and the payment on the principal. Each g i r l by
the end of her freshman year pays twenty-five dollars to the house
f u n d and ten dollars o f each initiation fee is also paid to the cor-
poration and this sum is intended to cover taxes, insurance, repairs,
etc.

The reports of the House Manager and of the Fraternity Trea-
surer as well as of the Corporation Treasurer are read before the
Board of Directors and there discussed.

Then the alumnae, through its four representatives on the board,
assists and advises the active chapter i n the management of its
finances.

THE VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE COMMITTEE O F

ALPHA OMICRON PI

B Y M A R Y D A N I E L S O N , Alpha Phi, 18, Chairman

A F T E R considerable anguish and much thought upon the sub-
ject, I think the Vocational Guidance Committee can infor-
mally announce its existence, and can give some tentative plan of
procedure.

A t present we are collecting data f r o m a l l our alumna: to find out
how many are i n vocational fields, and what kinds of vocations are
represented. I t is our plan to get this information properly tabu-
lated and catalogued so that we can put our fingers on i t .

Then we hope to obtain pamphlets from various placement agen-
cies and Bureaus of Occupations and make this i n f o r m a t i o n available
to all A O IPs.

I am greatly indebted to J. C. Colcord f o r many valuable sugges-
tions in regard to the work of this committee.

I have sent letters to a l l the alumna? chapters and to active chap-
ters where there is no alumna? chapter asking f o r a list of the
alumnae, their vocations, and addresses. Some have responded
promptly and I thank them. Letters are continuing to come, and I
hope that soon we may have definite information which our younger
sisters can make use of. The committee is extremely anxious to re-
ceive any help or suggestion that anyone may have to offer.
