best part about this imposing list is that Ada we extend our congratulations on
we are absolutely certain that each and
every one of them will carry on the
Alpha O tradition to distinction.
We've been stealing ideas for rushing
from some of our sister chapters, and
probably the best of the season's parties
was our cabaret. Gay waitresses, a
miniature orchestra, sparkling lights,
and bright costumes gave quite the ap-
propriate atmosphere, and the merry
faces of the girls were evidence of its
success.
Nu's spring formal is to be held at the nine Senior girls recently elected to Phi
Ritz-Carlton Hotel on April 11. We are
quite disappointed not to be able to tell
you about it. But it is one day too late
for this letter.
Two other chapter affairs are promis-
ing merry days for us. The intersorority
spring dance is to be held at Briarcliff
on May 29. Of course that means a
treat. And then we have planned to
have open house next week for some of
Omicron Entertains Grand President with Many Affairs
By K A T H E R Y N E PENNYBACKER, University of Tennessee
Spring and initiation have come to
Omicron hand in hand, and they were
ushered in by a visit from Elizabeth
Wyman. We were so happy to have our
Grand President with us, especially at
this time, for it is the first time that
a President has helped in initiation at
Omicron.
We initiated thirteen pledges on the
first day in April. At the banquet at
the Andrew Johnson Hotel following the
initiation service, we were very much
Surprised to learn that we were giving
a birthday party for Miss Wyman.

Kappa Leads Sororities in Scholarship
By PAULA VOGELSANG, Randolph-Macon Woman's College
The last two months have been very
exciting for us. First, there were the
May Day elections. On the night of
February 14 it was announced, in a
clever stunt, to all the college world
79
our deserving "brothers" in the college.
Just as we predicted, Ada Munroe
and Helen Wilkenson have been carry-
ing off all the honors in the recent class
and intersorority swimming meets. T o
having been elected to Eclectic, the
Washington Square College honorary so-
ciety for junior girls who have demon-
strated their ability in scholarship, and
in outstanding service in extracurricular
activities. Ada is becoming so popular
that we wish she would learn not to
blush so, when she has to appear at the
Day Org. assemblies in order to receive
her honors. Although we do admit that
on T a p Day the blush was most be-
coming.
Edith Sharp ('30), was one of the
Beta Kappa. I t has not been the policy
of the Washington Square College chap-
ter to elect Juniors to its membership,
so that Senior year election counts for
a double honor. Of Edith we know
that she is one of those rare people
who can combine a fine and distinctive
scholarship with personality and an alert
and healthy interest in things extracur-
ricular.
tiation, the "Freshmen" entertained the
"old girls" with a dinner at the Andrew
Johnson. It was lovely. The table was
decorated with "jack" roses, and the
place-cards for the old girls were cor-
sages of these roses. The Grand Presi-
dent was guest-of-honor at a tea given
by the Kappa Delta sorority that after-
noon, so we were rushed from one
lovely affair into another.
We have been so busy with initiation
we have had a dreadful time trying to
crowd in practices for the tennis tour-
nament. This is the last of the inter-
sorority sports, and we have great hopes.
that Mary Broughton ('30), would be
the May Queen this year, and that Sara
Anderson ('30), would be her Maid of
Honor. Naturally we are very proud
of this unusual honor, and also of the
