TO DRAG MA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 101

phreys of Lincoln. Helen Westveer and Rose Krause, being sopho-
mores, have been taken into full membership. T o welcome our
pledges into the fraternity, the active girls gave an informal H a l -
lowe'en dance at the chapter house, October 28.

A new ruling has very recently been passed in the inter-sorority
council (otherwise known as Pan-Hellenic) for pledging. Begin-
ning with next year we are to have second semester pledging, which
is no doubt a definite step toward sophomore pledging. It was
decided upon after a long struggle, Alpha Omicron being one of
those opposing it to the last.

Nell Bridenbaugh, '08, is back in school working for her Master's
Degree. She has been elected to the German Club. Carrie Coman,
'15, has been elected to Mystic Fish, the freshman inter-sorority or-
ganization.

Alpha Omicron Pi is secretary of inter-sorority council this year.

T h e first part of November we had the pleasure of meeting Mrs.
Farmer, and her brief visit was greatly enjoyed by all of us. H e r
accounts of the other chapters were very interesting to us, especially
the views in regard to the coming convention.

A week before Christmas a Christmas party was held at the chap-
ter house after fraternity meeting. Instead of giving each other use-
less presents, several very nice and much needed presents were given
to the house. We had a dandy time with the usual Christmas tree
and "eats" and then we had the satisfaction of feeling that we had
done something really worth while.

At the beginning of this new year we wish to extend our best wishes
to all our sister chapters, and to wish them a bright and prosperous
year.

Well, college and work once more! It seems like old times, and
what fun it is to see the girls again. Nothing very exciting has
happened since the last letters for final examinations were upon us
in next to no time.

However, one very pleasurable incident was the visit of our
Grand President, Mrs. Farmer. We enjoyed her visit very much,
but as she remained only a few days, we were not able to do a great
deal in the way of entertaining. We gave a small informal tea for
her one evening, and after meeting, she told us a number of inter-
esting things about our different girls in the east.

Farce in the afternoon.
