32 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Dorothy, Cora, Marguerite, and Mary belong to the dramatic club;
and all belong to the Y. W. C. A.

Even with so much work, we yet have time for play. We illus-
trated this fact recently by an " A t Home" in honor of Blythe White,
'11, who is visiting us. A l l of her college friends were invited, and
we were also fortunate in having as our guest Mrs. Thomas, a cher-
ished patroness from out of town. The chapter rooms were very
attractive with palms, ferns, roses, and girls—such a lot of them!
The sophomores were i n charge of affairs, and certainly their first
appearance as A O I I hostesses was a success. Dorothy and Blythe
received the guests with feelings unruffled as to details, while Mary
and Innes were altogether carefree and charming. The success of
the afternoon made us long for more, and already we are planning
other parties and dreaming of improvements in our rooms,—as i f
they could be improved! I t is a great temptation to relate some of
these dreams, but perhaps you have them too—one kind or another!—
and I confess the chapter letter is too long. So i f you are truly in-
terested in I I Chapter and its plans, come, pay us a visit—really,
Alphas, our welcome is always hearty!

OMICRON, UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE

For the first time in its history, Omicron is unable to announce
in the November To DRAGMA, a number of new sisters. But as the
rules passed by the faculty and upheld by the Pan-Hellenic Associa-
tion, forbids pledging until February, we are sitting calmly aside
watching the little freshmen pass in array, and mentally selecting
Alpha material.

Our chapter consists at present of four members,—Laura Swift
Mayo, who is working for her Master's degree in Science, one
senior— Myrtle Cunningham, a junior—Ailcy Kyle, and Marjorie
Pease exulting in the proud rank of sophomore. Our number will
be increased in January by the addition of Minn Elois Hunt and
Nettie B. Armstrong, both of whom were prevented from returning
to college in September. But as few as we are, we are not without
recognition, and hold one or two offices in college life—Laura Swift
Mayo is secretary of the Co-ed Cotillion Club, and Myrtle Cunning-
ham holds the offices of president of the Cotillion Club and presi-
dent of the Rouge and Powder Dramatic Club.

Omicron also feels herself lucky in her alumnae. A number of
our old girls are living in town and are helping us, doing as much
for us, as i f they were themselves actives. We feel that we are
almost robbing Kappa by having with us Ada Donaldson. And oh,
what grand times we have had, listening to your escapades, Kappa,
and how we envy you your plans for a chapter house. And that
