Local Pan-Hellenic Constitution:

I t is recommended to the Grand Presidents that there be a re-
vision of the local Pan-Hellenic constitutions, in order that certain
points not included in the present constitutions may be provided for.
This work is now in the hands of a committee, and will first be pre-
sented to the Grand Presidents, and, i f an affirmative vote is received,
instructions will be sent to the local Pan-Hellenic Associations.

Distribution of Pan-Hellenic Literature:

On instructions from their Grand Presidents the delegates de-
cided that each National Pan-Hellenic delegate shall have control
of the distribution of National Pan-Hellenic reports and papers,
within the fraternity, and of instructing the chapters as to the use of
the same. She may, at her discretion, delegate the work of distribu-
tion to another officer of her fraternity.

The Conference adjourned to attend the luncheon for fraternity
women at which there were one hundred representatives.

THIRD SESSION

The third session was called to order at 4 :30 P. M . , Saturday,
September 18, 1909.

Michigan Pan-Hellenic:

The petition from the Michigan Pan-Hellenic Association was
granted by unanimous vote of the delegates, acting on instructions
from their Grand Presidents. During the next year, until September,
1910, the fraternities at Michigan may pledge girls in senior year of
high school; provided, that i f a pledge is not initiated within a year,
she is regarded as dropped.

The Conference desired, however, to go on record as opposing
any further dispensation to Michigan, and desired that the recom-
mendation be made to the Grand Presidents that, i f the Michigan
Pan-Hellenic again petitions for a dispensation, it be not granted.

Recommendations to Fraternities:

The following recommendations were adopted by the Eighth Pan-
Hellenic Conference:

1. That the fraternities be asked to vote on the following ques-
tion : That there be no rushing before matriculation. Matriculation
to be defined as the day of enrollment as a student in the university
or college.

2. That the delegates to the National Pan-Hellenic be members
of the national governing bodies of the fraternities, or ex-coun :il
members, or persons well versed in Pan-Hellenic matters.

3. That there be no initiation of any pledge until ten hours'
work is completed, and that there be a common entrance requirement
