Chaperones.—The office should be dignified by better definition,
and more authority. One way of doing this is to make the chaperone
a member of the committee of the chapter, whose duty it is to for-
mulate suitable house rules, and to secure their observance. Such
a committee should be of great assistance to a chapter in determining
its social activities, etc.

Rushing.—This way of recruiting the chapters is deplored. Soph-
omore pledging is approved, and a scholarship standard of eligibility
is advocated.

Parties.—The use of University buildings for parties is advised
wherever this is possible, as opposed to clubs and halls not located
on the campus.

Scholarship.—The practice of some fraternities in securing from
the Deans periodic reports of individual grades for each chapter is
believed to encourage scholarship.

Visiting Delegates.—The Deans are glad to meet these ladies,
and welcome conferences with them early in their visits to their
respective chapters.

This report was followed by a discussion of chapter houses and
chaperones. Mrs. Tennant reported her list of eligible chaperones
as very small, but that, i f a small salary was connected with the
position, more chaperones would be available.

Motion carried that the president appoint a committee to consider
with Deans of Women the position of the fraternity chaperone in
college life, also the functions and qualifications of chaperone. Com-

Adjourned for the annual luncheon of Intersorority Conference
delegates. The luncheon was at the College club, which kindly
gave us the use of their rooms for our last session.

T H I R D SESSION.

The session opened with a continuation of the discussion of the
meeting of fraternity women and Deans. Particular attention was
called to the fact that the Deans had concurred with former Inter-
sorority Conferences in recommending a Sophomore pledge day.

Motion carried that the Seventh Intersorority Conference again
urge a late pledge day, preferably a Sophomore pledge day.

The committee on recommendations then presented its report,
which included all recommendations from delegates reports to the
first session.

y. Pan-Hellenic Recommendations.

The following recommendations are submitted to local Pan-
Hellenics with the request that each Pan-Hellenic give them careful
