A x EXTRACT FROM T H E RHO CHAPTER LETTER
P>LIT the best of a l l is convention at Northwestern! We can
scarcely wait u n t i l June 2 0 f o r we have so many plans and are so
anxious to know our other sisters. The topic for almost daily dis-
cussion is convention, and we hope f o r a wonderfully successful one.
I f our enthusiasm w i l l only be taken as an appeal to a l l loyal A l p h a s
to come to Northwestern in June!
CONVENTION
\ \ T H A T enthusiasm i t brings and what an eager looking f o r w a r d
" • on the part o f those o f us who are l u c k l y enough to g o ! I t is a
time when our dearest plans f o r our f r a t e r n i t y w i l l be discussed and
approved and disapproved wisely. I t is a time when the strong
bond o f sisterhood seems the t h i n g i n l i f e most w o r t h l i v i n g f o r —
when we meet i n true, j o y f u l f e l l o w s h i p . A n d i t is a time—this is
not anti-climax—when our troubles and disappointments may be
discussed and remedied. Enthusiasm—love—helpfulness.
STANFORD ( E X T R A C T FROM S A N FRANCISCO C A L L )
QJ T A N F O R D University, A p r i l 1 0 — N o more sororities at Stan-
f o r d is the recommendation which die women's judicial board
sent to the faculty student affairs committee today.
The communication follows:
The judicial board o f women recommends that no more sororities
be admitted into S t a n f o r d university while the 5 0 0 l i m i t f o r women
exists f o r the f o l l o w i n g reasons:
F i r s t — T h e admission o f one more sorority would encourage the
entrance of others into an already crowded field, eight sororities
among 5 0 0 women being a large proportion.
Second—The admission of more sororities would tend to destroy
the balance which now exists between sorority and nonsoTority
women.
T h i r d — T h e board is in favor of sophomore pledge day and the
entrance of a new sorority would tend to delay the accomplishment
of that end.
The judicial board is composed of Miss Ruth Sampson, Miss
Gertrude Workman, Miss Dorothy Marx, Miss Linda Bell and Miss
Ina Moise, chairman.
