222 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

CHICAGO ALUMNAE

The winter past has certainly been a busy one for the Chicago
Alumnae chapter but the enthusiasm still lasts, and we are planning
for several more good times before the year ends. Since I last wrote
you we had the promised "husband" dinner in January, which the
men seemed to enjoy as much as the Alphas. Indeed I know a
certain gentleman who thinks all Alpha good times should include
"the husbands."

For fully two weeks we labored getting together the necessary
articles, and then came our first chapter ritual meeting. How good
it did seem to those of us who missed those monthly reminders which
had meant so much in our college life!

In March we met the Rho active girls at luncheon at the Boston
Oyster House and were glad to have with us at that time several
Alumnae whom we hope to enroll as members another year: Laura
Buchanan Shockey, Z, Louise Norton French, P, and Kva Thomp-
son, ®.

I'm sure you will all be glad to know that we have grown and
grown through the long winter until we now represent five active
chapters. We have two new members from V, Mary Chase, and
Estelle Perry. And we have a future member, too, in little Corris
Elizabeth Peake who arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. J.
Peake (Corris Damon, Z ) , on March 30, 1913. I can do no more
than wish the same spirit of joy and helpfulness to all our sister
chapters.
