20 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

The chair appointed as a committee on recommendations: Miss
Hutchins, Gamma Phi Beta, and Miss Shepard, Delta Gamma.

The report of Miss Green, Secretary of the Conference 190S-0 >,
was read. She gave the following summary of the year's work:
Secretary's Report:

Eight hundred copies of the report of the Seventh Conference
were printed and distributed.

A letter was written to inform Alumnae more definitely in regard
to the purposes and plans of Pan-Hellenic. Four hundred copies
of this letter were printed and distributed.

Other work of the Secretary was the compiling of a list of the
Deans of Women; the preparation of the list for the exchange of
fraternity magazines; the writing of a paper for the fraternity maga-
zines on the results of the National Pan-Hellenic Movement during
the first seven years; and all the correspondence with local Pan-
Hellenics incidental to the office of Secretary.

During the year two fraternities were admitted to conference,
Zeta Tau Alpha and Alpha Gamma Delta. No provision having been
made in the National Pan-Hellenic Conference for admission of
fraternities during the year between Conferences, the Secretary, on
the advice of former Secretaries, submitted the petitions to the Grand
Presidents, whose vote on both fraternities was unanimously favor-
able.

of local Pan-Hellenics are lacking in some essential provisions, and
thus many difficulties have arisen which could have been avoided
with the proper constitutions.

There should be a realization of the need of broader activities in
connection with the Pan-Hellenic work, and less emphasis should be
placed on rushing as such.

Each delegate then presented a report from her fraternity, giving
convention action on subjects of Pan-Hellenic interest, and presenting
recommendations from her fraternity to the National Pan-Hellenic
Conference.

These reports, together with the Secretary's report, were referred
to the committee on recommendations.

Special reports were presented as follows: Woman's College of
Baltimore, University of California, Washington University of St.
Louis, Washington State University, Syracuse University, Northwest-
ern University, Barnard College.

These reports were referred to the committee on recommendations.
The report from editors of fraternity magazines were read.

Exchange of Fraternity Magazines:
Motion carried that the plan of exchange be continued; that the
