consideration, and, as far as practical, adopt the principles of each
recommendation.

     a. Every Pan-Hellenic MUST conform to the by-law that re-
quires each fraternity chapter to be represented in Pan-Hellenics by
one active and ONE ALUMNA member. I t is urged that alumnae
be chosen with great care. Women several years out of college, who
are in close touch with their University's and their chapter's life, and
in sympathy with Intersorority Conference ideas and work—upon
which they should be well informed—should be chosen for these
positions. A long tenure of office for efficient alumnae members is
also deemed advisable.

     b. Pan-Hellenics are urged to adopt a rule requiring definite
scholarship attainment in the University, as a qualification for eli-
gibility to fraternity membership.

     c. We recommend to Pan-Hellenics that they endeavor to restrict
the expense, number and duration of social functions and engage-
ments by woman's fraternities as far as is compatible with local con-
ditions.

     d. We suggest that Pan-Hellenics be careful not to create
feeling between fraternity and non-fraternity college women through
too many or through inopportune Pan-Hellenic meetings and func-
tions.

     e. Pan-Hellenics are urged to avoid all public press notoriety
and to endeavor always to keep the respect of their University and
town communities.

     /. We strongly recommend that each Pan-Hellenic have some
general meetings to which A L L fraternity members are invited and al-
lowed to take part in discussions—meetings to read and discuss
Intersorority Conference reports; shortcomings of our last compact;
effects of a Sophomore pledge day in our colleges, etc.

     g. Since at the University of Wisconsin an organization of the
resident alumnae of all fraternities has proved most helpful in solv-
ing fraternity and university problems concerning rushing, social
life, etc., it is the concensus of opinion in this Conference that a
similar organization would prove helpful in every University where
fraternities are represented. I t is therefore suggested that in each
Pan-Hellenic the alumnae members take the initiative in forming
such an organization for their college.

8. Fraternity Recommendations.

    The following recommendations are submitted to each frater-
nity with the strong hope that each Grand President will urge their
adoption in the policies of her fraternity:

    a. That each fraternity hold its Intersorority delegate respon-
