250 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

having joined Alpha Omicron P i last yenr when they ventured forth to the
University of Montana for a taste of western atmosphere. Amalia Shoemaker
has just come from Cornell and is now doing .scientific work in the depart-
ment of agriculture. Elena Merrick, also a Cornell graduate, has been in
Washington for some time, but her work at the National Cathedral School
for Girls here has kept her too busy to join the chapter until now.

Four of the Washington Alpha O's, Mary Fitch, Helen Henry, Adrienne

Shreve, and Betty Farrington, belong to the American Association of Uni-

versity Women here. We feel that the contact established through the A. A.

I". W. with other university and fraternity women is very much worth while

and enjoyable. As other members of our chapter join the A. A. U. W., we

hope to make a very definite place for Alpha Omicron P i among the uni-

versity women of Washington. ,

Eleven Alpha O's congregated for tea at the home of Betty Farrington a

few days ago. This is the largest number we have had together at any

time since the war and is very encouraging. It was quite remarkable to

get six of us together at the beginning of the year. We are audacious

enough to plan on fifteen for dinner next Saturday night when Mrs. Hennings

is hero. . CORNELIA MUNSKLL.

PHILADELPHIA ALUMNAE

The interest of the Philadelphia Alumnae chapter is absorbed at present
in the card party which we are holding in the North Garden of the Bellevue
Stratford Hotel on the eighth of April. The proceeds are to help defray the
expense of our local philanthropic work, the Needlework Guild, and therefore,
we are working very hard to make the affair a financial success. Scattered
as we are over all parts of the city and meeting only once a month, it is
difficult to get complete cooperation, but as each girl is working hard in
her own circle, we have very bright hopes.

Our next meeting which is to be a combined business and social one is
to be held at the home of Genevieve Glasgow Strnhley. Kappa. Unfortunately,
we are so pressed for- time that we will not be able to spend the entire
evening in pleasure. We must hold elections for next year's officers, settle
the business of the card party, and make further preparations for convention.
Perhaps we will elect the lucky girl who is to represent the Philadelphia
Alumnae at Knoxville! After reading the last issue of "To Dragma" each
and every one of us is anticipating that trip in June.

We have two marriages to announce: that of Alice Bounds Lipp, Psi, to
Fred Snow Davis, D. K . E . , formerly of Knoxville, Tennessee, and that of
Edith Gill. Epsilon. to Henry Chubb of this city. They were both big sur-
prises to the chapter. Edith is still living in Philadelphia but Alice has
gone beyond our jurisdiction. She is living now in Cambridge. Maryland.

OMAHA ALUMNAE

With only two more meetings for the year, it is a good time to look
back and see what has been accomplished. While we have not done any
outside work, we have been busy. When the members give their time, energy
and materials to two rummage sales, a magazine sale and a bridge-benefit
(which was changed at the last minute to a general tax) an officer knows
that there is interest, and it means a lot to her. Our meetings have been
a success as the large attendance shows, for we average around twenty each
time. In a great many cases this is the only time we get to see each other
as the months slip by. Once in a while we have an active member with us
from Zeta. This is a great pleasure for us, and she is usually besieged with
