recover completely. Kappa is enjoying a breathing spell now and
what we consider a well earned one after our splendid efforts and
results in the fall.

The proposed plan for sophomore pledging went through in local
Pan-Hellenic here so next year will mark the beginning of an
absolutely new and untried experiment with us. But we feel
thoroughly well equipped and if its to be a strain and inconvenience
the first year we all feel that it could never have happened to us at
a more opportune time for we have twenty one in our chapter this
year and all coming for degrees. It will certainly seem "funny"
though not to be in one continuous state of excitement and uncer-
tainty for the first two months of college—it will be a novel change
for all of us and I think the companionship will help and strengthen
us all and make us better equipped to start in the next year.

We've one new "little freshman" since our last letter—Mattie
Carskdon—from Maryland.

Outside—just the big rough exterior that the world sees—we're
just living quietly like every one else is—but on the inside—we
know ! Its the same lovely thing—the house that we've been planning
and living and dreaming for a year and now its almost here! Not
quite, of course, or our joy and happiness would just run over and
we couldn't keep it from being plain to the world, but still it's near!

February 8 has been set for the day when the real business begins
and then things will just spin along. We've "conjured up" grand
pictures of it in our minds and are just hoping to be all in and
settled before Commencement. So here's hoping to have "you all,"
every blessed one of you at our house-warming in June.

ZETA. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
The first semester at Nebraska is over and Zeta is waiting to in-
itiate her twelve freshmen, February 18th.
We have had three informal dances at the chapter house, and are
looking forward to our annual formal dance March 3rd at the Lin-
coln Hotel.
A recent new ruling at Nebraska has upset things a good deal.
The men decided that taking "cabs" to the formal dances was en-
tirely too much of a luxury. But the girls of course were not of the
same opinion. Two representatives from each fraternity and sorority
met in inter-fraternity council at our frat house to decide this im-
portant question. The objections of the girls were over-ruled and
so henceforth we walk.
