TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 125

T N THIS ISSUE of our magazine, three definite alumnae units of our
*• national work are described, each admirably carrying into the world
the spirit of Alpha Omicron Pi. Several more such units are being planned,
and its is hoped, and expected, that more and more, alumnae chapters will
turn their attention to work of this kind. Nothing is more strengthening
to the internal organization of a group than a- common interest in some
one big work, and nothing is more strengthening to the external interests of
a group or a class, and we suppose fraternity women might be called a class,
than some constructive, helpful work for those outside that group or class.
In the September To DRAGMA the national work pledge card was printed.
If you have not filled it out and mailed it to the Grand Vice-President,
please do so at once, for without your help, our national work cannot
progress as it should.

Kappa Delta has pursued a plan believed to be unique among
Greek-letter organizations in financing her Endowment Fund.
For a long period of years, antedating the W o r l d War, the Na-
tional Council has been definitely reserving a portion of the gross
income of the national treasury, as well as that portion of each
life subscription to The Angclos which is shown by statistics
to be requisite for guaranteeing the magazine during the f u l l period
of the member's lifetime. A t the 1923 Convention the National
Council proposed the by-law providing f o r an Endowment Fund,
consisting of the funds so accumulated, aggregating a minimum
of $25,000 at that time, to be administered by a trust company
under the direction of an Endowment Fund Committee, cooper-
ating with the National Council. I t was provided also that the
f u n d should be augmented yearly by the surplus Angclos sub-
scriptions, plus a percentage of the gross yearly income of the
national treasury.
