of distinction the sorority has authorized the use by founders and
grand officers of a gold ring ornamented with the sorority monogram,

Mud on Wheels—Doubt and distrust will not bring triumphs.

The girl who joins a sorority and then begins to find fault with
its management, criticizes its officers and otherwise to create doubt and
distrust among members and non-members is to be pitied for lack
of horse-sense. She wants the sorority to get results—but every-
thing she does and says has a tendency to prevent the thing she most
desires. It fact she is herself an obstacle in the way of progress, a
stumbling block to her sorority. Good results for any sorority are
never obtained by girls of this character. The girls who get results
are the girls who have confidence in themselves, in their fellowmen
and in those who are trying to improve the conditions of their soror-
ity. These girls prove their faith by their works, and win their goal
by striving for it. They are the power which makes the wheels
move forward. The knockers who do nothing but doubt and com-
plain, are just so much mud on the wheels.—The Parchment, S I X .
