standing are sent each year. For some
reason or other, Betty did not come
in when we expected her, and we al-
most had the party without the "sur-
prisee."
Then we turned to composing songs!
The AOII's won the health song contest,
a feature of the annual Health Week.
We sat together in the diningroom, and
when the time came for us to sing, we
surprised them all with motions to fit
the words. Our prize was a box of
chocolates.
Spring was in the air during the last
week in March. So three of us turned
farmerettes, donned old clothes and
worked in the flower beds around the
house. I f the weather stays warm, we
will soon have riotous blooms.

By MARJORIE HOLLENBERG, University of Cincinnati
After finishing a rushing season and
second semester bidding, last February,
we all were thoroughly worn out, but
oh, how happy! We made our tea at
Vernon Manor, February 10, a valen-
tine one; and each rushee was given a
beautiful red rosebud with a heart,
bearing the letters AOII, in gold, tied
to it by red ribbons. The room at the
Cincinnati Club, where we gave the
formal dinner and dance for the rushees,
February 21, we decorated as a night
club. The tables were arranged at the
sides of the room, leaving the center clear sold. We actives are proud of them.
for dancing; and the ceiling was hung
with multi-colored crepe paper and
balloons. During the course of the eve-
ning, there was a floor show, consisting
of tap dancers, a blues singer, and a
group of serenaders. The last large rush
party, the buffet supper, was given at
the home of Ruby Doench, February
26. After dinner, there was both bridge
and a doll show, to entertain our guests.
The result of these parties was that six
girls chose Alpha Omicron Pi, as their
sorority: Dorothy Behymer, Virginia
Hall, Ruth Hargett, Lola Momich,
Frances Morris, and Margery Philio.
Later, we added three more pledges to
from thirty-five colleges. We had a tea
the first afternoon for AOII delegates
and their friends and opened our parlors
for discussion groups. E . Louise Hof-
feditz ('31), edited the "I.A.W.S. News,"
the daily mimeographed sheet of con-
vention activities.
Mildred M . Lyle ('31), is a member
of the honorary varsity basketball team
which was announced at the formal
athletic banquet. We had five girls
there, all members of class or varsity
teams of the major sports. Myrtle M .
Binney ('31), and Mildred are both
members of the junior class basketball
team which lost the championship game
to the Sophomores by only two points.

phreys, and Catherine Lyle. The whole
nine of them are working hard, and are
getting into activities on the campus.
On Sunday, March 20, they gave a
lovely tea at the home of Catherine
Lyle for the pledges of all the other
sororities on the campus. It was very
successful. The pledges have been sel-
ling tickets for a production given by the
Fresh Painters' Organization of the
University, and are far ahead of the
other sororities in the number of tickets
On February 20, Theta E t a initiated
Sadie Taylor, at the home of Dorothy
Doresy. Sadie has helped us tre-
mendously both in rushing and enter-
tainment. She is truly an enthusiastic
worker for AOII.
Mr. Carl Rich, the husband of Mrs.
Frances Rich (Omega), who has al-
ready done so much for Theta Eta
chapter, is offering a ring each year to
that pledge of our chapter who has the
highest scholarship and who has been
the most active on the campus. The
design of the ring is to remain a secret
