To put briefly, then, the program of future Pan-Hellenic e f f o r t : — A long
time, a steady growth, a rebirth of the ideals of education.—Mary C. Love
Collins, in The Eleusis of Chi Omega.

There are fifty thousand women collegians and alumnae, i n our Pan-Hel-
lenic ranks. We are marching on toward a unity of understanding and
purpose. The community of interest in our Pan-Hellenic world demands our
recognition. This does not mean the breaking down or merging of our
individual organizations but rather the u p b u i l d i n g o f a timely co-operation as
well as a finer interpretation of the golden rule in our interfraternity relations
and an effort to liquidate the debt, through gratitude and service, which we
owe our colleges and universities as college women.—Cora Allen M c E l r o y ,
Grand President of Alpha Phi, f r o m Eleusis of Chi Omega.

FALLS CITIES PAN-HELLENIC ASSOCIATION
Louisville is one of those places where one might forget there are such
organizations as sororities and fraternities; i f one d i d not see a j o u r n a l or
run across an old college chum once i n a while. As there are only f o u r
alumnae members of Alpha X i Delta here and these live f a r apart, we o f
course do not get to talk "sorority" very often. A l l , therefore, hailed w i t h
delight the invitation the Falls Cities Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma ex-
tended to all the other sorority girls i n these cities to attend a meeting to be
held at the home of Alice Cary Williams, an old Kentucky University g i r l .
I think nearly everyone invited accepted. I must explain that the "Falls
Cities" are Louisville, K y . , New Albany, and Jeffersonville, I n d . , so called
because of their situation at the falls o f the Ohio.

There were eleven colleges and universities represented. Mrs. Samuel Mit-
chell presided at the meeting and called on a number of people from different
universities to tell of fraternity conditions at their own particular Alma Mater.
Some of the talks were very interesting, especially to sorority and college
starved people, as many of us were. Finally, Mrs. Mitchell asked i f the
members of any of the visiting sororities cared to discuss the plan o f
f o r m i n g a Falls Cities Pan-Hellenic Association. We finally decided to do so.
We are to meet twice a year, the first Saturday in A p r i l and the first in
October. Miss Lizette Woerner a Pi Beta Phi and Miss Heick, a Kappa
were appointed to plan these meetings and n o t i f y the members where they
are to be held.

There were members f r o m five sororities present—Kappa Kappa Gamma,
Delta Delta Delta, A l p h a Phi, Pi Beta Phi, and Alpha X i Delta.—Alpha Xi
Delta.

Apropos of the Eleventh National Pan-Hellenic Congress, the following
items have been chosen by the Arrow of P i Beta Phi f r o m various reports
of the event.

Perhaps the Greek world w i l l not be completely revolutionized by the
results of our meeting but there is an indefinable influence which w i l l reach
all chapters f r o m the coming together of so many who are divided i n name,
but who are w o r k i n g f o r the same good purpose and have the same high ideal.
—Kappa Alpha Theta.
