108 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

is seeking primarily the good of the girl and not its own? She
is given a whole year to make good, and many a girl will do
work she never would have done had she not desired to be i n -
itiated. Many girls come to college and live under conditions very
different f r o m those under which they lived when attending high
school, and many a young freshman loses her head and forgets
the more serious side of college life. Y o u say you have had sev-
eral heart-breaking incidents in your chapter because of this. D i d
Y O U do all in your power to prevent these f r o m happening?
I f no one else took the responsibility did you yourself go to the
teachers of these girls, and find out the kind of work they were
doing in time to help, and then see that the older girls, proficient
in these courses in which the freshmen were failing, tutored and
aided them? I f you did not, then who is partly responsible f o r
the "heart-breaking incidents"? Surely, all of the blame cannot
be attached to this ruling of Alphi Chi Omega.

I n closing, I can only repeat that it seems to me that you
can better serve that greater fraternity of Christ's by serving
3rour apprenticeship in the smaller, more restricted one, and. by
striving to make your endeavors felt in this group, you will i n -
crease not only its power f o r good but your own as well.

I wish it were in my power to help to see things differently,
so that you could again wear the badge of Alpha Chi Omega
with a feeling of pride and devotion toward the thing for which
it stands.

Most loyally.
