nities at Barnard; written replies to invitations to join a fraternity;

need of constant effort to keep fraternity women informed on Inter-

sorority Conference matters; high school fraternities; indefiniteness

of Pan-Hellenic constitutions; fraternity presidents as delegates to

Motion carried to assess each fraternity five dollars ($5.00) for

Intersorority Conference expenses, each delegate to instruct her

Grand Treasurer to send the assessment direct to the Conference

Secretary.

MEETING OF DEANS OF WOMEN

The Deans of Women of State Universities in Conference at

Chicago, December 18, 19 and 20, were in substantial agreement on

the following topics of interest to fraternity women.

Chaperones: The office should be dignified by a 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. Reported by MRS. WOODWARD,

Adviser of Women,

University of Wisconsin..
