Delta felt very sorry, indeed, not to have a letter in the May
number because she had marvelous (?) tales to tell. Perhaps we
weren't proud to have one "Mary Ann" receive the highest honor

in college—that of representing Jackson College on the commence-

ment platform. She and Zilpah, too, were the only girls to make
Phi Beta Kappa.

To come back to this year and rushing, for it has begun with a

vengeance. To be sure there is absolutely no rushing this year, but

how much can be done by sweet smiles and a word here and there,
so it seems to us when the girls do it. As usual we are experimenting
again this year with Pan-Hellenic rules. The bids go out November
fourteenth and up to then we have no social intercourse whatsoever

with the freshmen. Each fraternity may have her large "hoodang,"

but apart from that there are to be no parties. We have yet to
determine how they will work out.

Ruth Penniman has again been chosen president of her class and
Etta is class marshall. Etta is also chairman of the athletic com-
mittee. As for the sophomores Leslie was as popular as Ruth for
she received a unanimous re-election and Ruth Wedge is again elected.

In A l l Around Club "Edith Van" is president and Pearle Longley
treasurer as well as secretary of the Student Government Board.

Let me tell Sigma how happy Delta has been to have Helen

and Evelyn Bancroft with us in the East. We had glorious times

before they went abroad and now we are so glad to welcome them
back. Of course we have heard all about your fire and how bravely
you have worked to recover yourselves.

And now we are busy planning for our hoodang which comes

next week and I know all our sister chapters will anxiously await
the results of November but not half so solicitously as we. So with
best wishes for the success of all our chapters and especially of the
younger ones who have had little experience in rushing but Delta

knows that you will all do Alpha Omicron Pi credit.
