ALUMNAE CHAPTER LETTERS

NEW Y O R K ALUMNAE

New York Alumnae chapter has really nothing to write about. We
feel though that we have had a successful winter. We meet on the
first Saturday of each month at the homes of members for a pleasant
afternoon chat. Alpha chapter sends at least one member and often
more. We feel this joint meeting with the active chapters to be help-
f u l for both sides. Unfortunately we do not see as much of N u
as we wish, but we know how busy they are and feel they are with
us in spirit.

SAN FRANCISCO ALUMNAE
The April meeting of the San Francisco Alumnae chapter was an
innovation and one that we feel was a success. I t has been the
custom in the past to entertain the active Sigma .chapter, and last
year there were included the freshmen of Lambda as well. But so
many college events, social and otherwise, crowd the semester that
we decided to give a luncheon in place of the usual card party,
preceding our regular meeting, with the seniors of Lambda and
Sigma as our guests—the girls who are to become members of
Alumnae chapters in the near future and who should for that reason
feel the closest interest in alumnae activity. Unfortunately the
Lambda girls were kept away by an important game on their campus,
but from every other point of view the meeting satisfied our hopes
for it.
After the luncheon—held, by the way, in a room quite to ourselves,
at a hotel whose chef must be an artist—we pulled our chairs a bit
closer to the table, where carnations, though not "the fragrant rose
of deepest red," were reminiscent of its color, and held our business
meeting. Discussion of various definite lines of expansion occupied
an hour or so—a field, by the way, in which an alumnae chapter
can find abundant opportunity for service to the whole fraternity;
plans for drawing up a ceremony for installation of officers in our
Alumnae chapter were formed and a committee appointed. There
seemed so much to accomplish, so many channels for our enthusiasm
to pass through, so many good points from Miss Safford's letters
to think over and cherish—that the short hour passed all too quickly.
