30 TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

plaint or Pan-Hellenic difficulty has been brought to the notice of
the Secretary of the Intersorority Conference for investigation. Sec-
ond, no group of chapters has applied for admission to the Con-
ference.

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

Soon after the Sixth Conference, the Pan-Hellenic Association
of Michigan sent to the Secretary a statement of the position of
Sorosis, together with a request for special dispensation. The Sec-
retary sent to the Grand Presidents the following query: "Are you
willing to grant a special dispensation to your chapter at the Uni-
versity of Michigan, allowing them to pledge senior high school
girls?" A l l eight Grand Presidents concerned agreed to grant the
dispensation f o r the college year 1907-08. The Pan-Hellenic at
Michigan was then notified that a special dispensation was granted
it until the Seventh Intersorority Conference convened.

Representatives of the Intersorority Conference were invited to
meet with the Conference of Deans of Women in State Universities
for one session, Friday afternoon, December 20. Each fraternity
was notified of the meeting and sent a representative when possible
(A report of this joint meeting appears elsewhere in this report.)

The question of pledge day seems by no means settled, some
schools which have had a late pledge day even agreeing to try matri-
culation day for next year. I n view of the difference of opinion upon
this question and considering how thoroughly the matter has been
discussed, one' delegate makes a timely suggestion that attention be
turned to the amelioration of faulty conditions common to all fra-
ternities.

According to the direction of the Sixth Conference, Miss Thomp-
son compiled and distributed a report on the present condition of
Pan-Hellenics in the United States, a most valuable article for the
use of all chapters.

Later a letter was written to inform alumnae more definitely in
regard to the purposes of Intersorority. Four hundred copies of this
were printed and distributed.

As directed by the Sixth Conference, the Secretary has printed
200 blanks for presenting matters for the vote of Grand Presidents.

The Secretary has had constant demand for the names of sec-
retaries of Pan-Hellenics. She had printed 500 blanks to be filled
with name, address and fraternity of Pan-Hellenic secretary. These
blanks were sent to colleges and returned so that there is now on file
for the use of the incoming Secretary a complete list of Pan-Hellenic
secretaries.

The manner of exchange of magazines has proven unsatisfactory.
