TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 221

The time for discussions were brief, yet I am sure we were all im-
pressed by the really broad and definite work that has taken shape,
and the earnestness put forth to achieve results.

BOSTON ALUMNAE
Boston Alumnae chapter is still busy with the year's work, al-
though we have not much to report this time. Some of the girls
have been sewing for the new room at Richardson house, and others
are making plans for entertaining our grand president. Last meet-
ing, March first, we had a miscellaneous shower for two of our
brides-to-be, Alice Rich and Dora Thayer, who were well remem-
bered with many dainty gifts. We also had with us Elise Mc-
Causland from Brown, as well as an unusually large number of our
own members. We have been at our new quarters three meetings
now, and already feel as much at home as at the old place.

LOS ANGELES ALUMNAE
No letter.

LINCOLN ALUMNAE

Lincoln Alumnae have had three interesting meetings since the
last issue of "To DRAGMA." In January, we spent a very enjoyable
afternoon with Helen Piper. We were glad to have Esther Devalon
Smith and Jessie Kriedler with us. No important business was
transacted.

For the February meeting, Emma Bennett was hostess. The meet-
ing was largely a social one, although the new treasurer, Edna
Harpham, took advantage of her opportunities. She is small but
mighty! !

Early in March, the chapter met with Edna Harpham. Second
semester pledging was the subject of an informal discussion. The
so-called "ideal system" seems to defeat its own purpose. Excite-
ment among sorority women, in Lincoln, has been intense, since
Delta Gamma's withdrawal from the "Intersorority Council." A l l
agreed that some decided changes will be necessary to make this
body an effective one. Second semester pledging has very few advo-
cates among Nebraskans. We were glad to read Miss Safford's
letter to Zeta. I t was just like her, f u l l of optimism, enthusiasm
and high and progressive ideals. One cannot help but take great
inspiration from her. We are prouder than ever of our Grand
President!
