such as cannot be gained through any other source. They feel sure
that such reports followed by praise or blame from the Grand Presi-
dents to the chapter, would help greatly to raise the standard of
scholarship.

They stated that they were very much in favor of Sorority
houses, and thought them best managed by the older alumna;.

The meeting was a very helpful and enjoyable one, and the rep-
resentatives came away determined to urge the Conference to aid
the Deans in every possible way in the splendid work they are doing.

THE INTER-SORORITY COUNCIL OF NEBRASKA

UNIVERSITY

The Intersorority Council of Nebraska University was organized
in May, 1906. It consists of a president, who is a member of the
faculty and one active member and one alumna from every sorority.
It is entirely a separate organization from the local Pan-Hellenic, and
differs from it. One point of difference is that the faculty is repre-
sented in the Inter-Sorority Council and not in the Pan-Hellenic.

The object of the Inter-Sorority Council is to legislate for the
best interests of the sorority not only from the students' standpoint,
but from the standpoint of the faculty also. The first action taken
by the Council was to prohibit rushing in any form for six weeks
after registration week. During registration week the number of
large parties given by each sorority was limited to three. As this is
the first year that rushing has been restricted at all, there was, of
course, some dissatisfaction, but we believe that in the end it will
prove to be a wise measure.

One of the duties of the Alumnae members of the Council is
to watch over the record of scholarship of the girls of her own soror-
ity. In this way it is hoped to keep the scholarship of sorority girls
above reproach.
