26 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICROX PI

MR. T R I M P E (Sigma Chi)—As the discussion has developed it
has been confined, perhaps, up to this point, to organization for the
purpose of combating in a way the anti-fraternity sentiment which
is getting to be such a very serious menace to all our interests. We
will have to have a basis of comity and understanding. We will
have to have the concerted and official co-operation of the various
bodies we represent here. We will in other words have to perfect
a practical, efficient organization.

MRS. CHASE (Alpha Gamma Delta)—Information is the great
thing we need in our fight; it is one of the sinews of war. Second
there must be money subscribed.

MR. E. HOLDERNESS (Sigma Alpha Epsilon)—If I could stand
before the congress. I should voice it as my firm conviction that, i f
we stand today on sinking sands, it is because we have not stood
together as fellow-Creeks on the broad foundation of perfect frank-
ness, confidence and co-operation.

M R . MATTHEWS (Tan Beta P i ) — i believe that we will find in
every case that we have heard about (concerning anti-fraternity leg-
islation) there is some personal animosity at the bottom of the action.
