208 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

March, to our new members and newly-weds. Fearing the grooms
might feel overwhelmed by so many girls, we extended the invitation
to the husbands of our married members and were very glad of an
opportunity to meet them.

We are hoping for wonderful results from the visit of our Grand
President who has just sent word that she expects to be with us the
first week in May. As we will have to share Miss Safford with
Alpha and the New York Alumnae, our plans cannot be definitely
made until we confer with them but we hope she will enjoy her
visit with us as much as we will.

OMICRON. UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE

On the night of February twenty-second, the unsuspecting passer-
by might have heard groans and shrieks, mingled with smothered
laughter and stern cries of "Swallow i t ! " and "Hold still!" pro-
ceeding from our room in Barbara Blount Hall. For were not we,
with the able assistance of several of our alumnae: Roberta and
Harriette Williams and Lillian Wells, of Chattanooga, Ailcie Kyle,
Lucretia Jordan Bickley, and Minn Elois Hunt, of Knoxville,
initiating four suffering goats? Little it mattered to them that the
room was beautifully decorated with potted plants and ferns; they
were not in a state to appreciate beauty. But even black and blue
spots could not prevent them from appreciating the eats which came
afterwards, and how good they were! We certainly are proud of
our new members, who are already showing the proper spirit by
studying the constitution every spare minute, for exams are peril-
ously near now. Our initiates are Margaret Conover and Aubrey-
Faulkner, of Knoxville, Mary Annie Landy, of Louisburg, Tenn.,
and Elizabeth McCargo, of Mt. Airy, N . C , and four finer fish
would be hard to find.

Pan-Hellenic has recently enjoyed an interesting talk on National
Pan-Hellenism by Miss Monning, the Phi Mu Grand President.
After the meeting which was held in our room, the Z T A's served
tea and sandwiches.

Omicron has given a beautiful silver loving cup to the fraternity
room, in memory of Janie Mayo, who died last year.

Louise Wiley was one of the six senior girls to make Phi Kappa
Phi, the honor fraternity, while Mary Rust is vice-president of the
senior class and assistant editor of the Volunteer, the Tennessee
annual.

A l l the old Alphas, and little new Alphas join m sending greet-
ings to our sister in other chapters, and in wishing the best of success
to you all.
