18 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Mrs. C. G. Bigelow, Alpha Omicron Pi, "Scope of the College
Pan-Hellenic."

Mrs. J. R. Leib, Grand President of Alpha X i Delta, "Relation

of the Pan-Hellenic to the College."

Miss Margarethe Shepard, Grand Treasurer of Delta Gamma,

"Alumnae in College Pan-Hellenics."
Former conference delegates and Grand Officers from several

fraternities were present at the luncheon and at the conference meet-

ings, among them Mrs. Ida Shaw Martin, well-known in Greek circles

as author of "The Sorority Hand-book." I t was a great pleasure

to many of us to meet her personally for the first time, though we

have long felt her interest and influence in the broader scope of fra-

ternity life.

On Monday following the conference, Mrs. Parmelee held an
informal reception at her home in Rogers Park, in honor of Mrs.

Martin and other Grand Officers of Delta Delta Delta who were in

the city. A similar pleasant occasion some months before was the

luncheon given by the Grand Council of Kappa Alpha Theta to

Grand Officers and Pan-Hellenic representatives of other fraternities
in Chicago, during their national convention held at Chicago Beach
Hotel the last week in June.

On the whole, we feel that the fraternity women of Chicago are

at a great advantage in thus having the opportunity to come in close

touch with the National Pan-Hellenic movement, and sincerely wish

that alumnae of other cities could have or make an occasion for such
a general fraternity function, to the benefit and enjoyment of all.
At any rate, cannot every alumna (as well as active) member of

Alpha Omicron Pi keep herself informed on the workings of the

Pan-Hellenic Conference, and make an earnest effort to carry out

its suggestions and assist its progress towards ideal fraternity con-

ditions? L U L A K I N G BIGELOW, Z, '04.
