TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 95

February sixth, on which night we expect to have an initiation, and
shower for the house. We look forward to the visit of Mrs. Farmer
for whom we are planning to entertain. We will have a dance too,
on St. Valentine's day. With best wishes for the success of her
sister chapters, Sigma closes her news of the present.

THETA, DEPAUW UNIVERSITY
Theta has been extremely busy during the past few weeks pre-
paring for examinations and now that they are all over we feel quite
relieved. We shall surely enjoy the short vacation between semesters
for we believe we have honestly earned it.

As far as social activity is concerned, Theta has done little outside
of her own household since the holidays. We have given a few of
the customary faculty and fraternity dinners but all of our big
"stunts" will come off in the next semester. On January 8th we
celebrated what was known in "ye olden days" as "Twelfth Night."
Usually the festivities observed on this night are of the Hallowe'en
nature but we turned aside a little to accommodate our plans; and
gave a pantomime representing the twelve stages of a DePauw
"case." In the first scene, the man in the case calls upon a friend
and there sees the picture of the girl in the case. In the second
scene he meets her. In the third, he has a pipe dream in which she
appears as the "Girl of my dreams." In the fourth he wins great
praise by his skillful playing at a basketball game. In the fifth
they have a library date. In the sixth scene he takes her to a concert
at "Meharry Hall." In the seventh he treats her at the "Greek
Candy Kitchen." In the eighth he calls at her home and meets
another man there. This causes a quarrel. In the ninth scene they
"make up" and go to the "mount" for supper. In the tenth he takes
her skating. In the eleventh they are caught spooning on the "Stone-
wall." In the twelfth scene he gives her his fraternity pin and "they
live happy ever afterward."

To DePauw girls these scenes were very natural and not at all
unusual. After the performance we served very light refreshments
and the girls and the few visitors present sincerely said they enjoyed
the "show." It is remarkable how much these unpretentious affairs
increase the happiness of the college life.

Two weeks ago Theta pledged another charming girl, Nina
Maple and we are looking forward to the time when she will be
entirely one of us.

DELTA, JACKSON COLLEGE

I wish it was as much fun to write a chapter letter as it is to

read one. We have had the best time pouring over that last To
