Pi Enjoys Sunday Suppers
By E V E L Y N M A G R U D E R , Newcomb College
We have had a supper for actives and
pledges every other Sunday night this
fall. This has done much to bring the
girls together and foster a stronger feel-
ing of fraternity and friendship.
And, of course, our celebration on
Founders' Day was, as usual, a most
enjoyable occasion. The alumna? chapter
gave a buffet supper at the Fraternity
Room with the active chapter and
pledges as guests.
We are proud to report that three of
our members were elected to House
Council. They are Mamie Packer ('32),
Nancy Stack ('33), and Elizabeth ( L i b )
Jones ('32). And two of our members
have won a place on the Newcomb Ball
Squad. They are Halcyon Colomb ('35),
and June Rowley ('34). Frances Price
('32), was elected East Wing Dormitory
president.
Our pledges are: Lockett Atkins,
