LAMBDA—STANFORD UNIVERSITY

We are always late in the year getting started as fall registration is
not until October 1. Everything is at last in running order and we are
ready for a new year which has every indication of being a successful one.

There are sixteen girls in the house this quarter which is an average
number for Lambda. There are eight old girls back and eight new girls who
are making things hum witli their enthusiasm.

Alice Lundberg has returned after a year's absence. We are sorry that
Helen Chapman and Frances Hadenfeldt will not be registered this quarter.

Our biggest thrill this quarter has been our new chapter room
which is resplendent in its red satin and ivory paint.

Laura Hamelin, formerly our alumnae adviser has gone to Kansas.
Her place will be taken by Velda Berry.

Our house is under new management this year. We have combined
with the local chapters of Delta Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta in hiring
a woman to take charge of the management of our houses. We have
found it very successful so far as it takes the drudgery and unpleasant
responsibility of hiring servants and so forth off the shoulders of the girls.

IOTA—UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

Here we are at the close of a most successful rushing season, with
some of the darlingest pledges found anywhere in the university. We have
heard the remark that we have the best looking pledges on campus. They
are Edith Armstrong, Kokomo, Indiana; Katherine Caughlan, Kokomo,
Indiana; Dorothy Hall, Oak Park, Illinois; Ethel Hull. Chicago, Illinois;
Catherine Lawlass, Chatsworth, Illinois; Emma Morrison, Columbus, Wis-
consin; Ruth Pouk, Chicago, Illinois; Eleanor Steinert, Chicago, Illinois;
Priscilla Wilcox, Champaign, Illinois, and Esther Wirtz, Chicago, Illinois.
They have started into all activities offered for freshmen and are very
promising. Saturday, October 10, there is to be a dance given in the
chapter house in honor of the pledges. The house will be decorated with
chrysanthemums, a symbol of Homecoming at Illinois.

Our home has been newly redecorated and with the addition of a new
parlor suite it offers a very attractive appearance. The house is not large
enough to accommodate everyone so some of the sophomores are living in
an annex.

This year the girls are out to win cups. The first chance was the
selling of Homecoming stamps and although we did not win the cup we
ran for a very close second. Betty Rennen, '26, was chairman of stamps,
and Wilma Law, '28, was on the committee. A stunt has been submitted
for the Homecoming show and we have high hopes of winning. Leonie
Mcl-aughlin, '27, is on the Chrysanthamum committee.

We have two new good-looking cars among the AOITs. Betty Rennen
is the owner of a new Chrysler 6 roadster and Florence Leete has a Nash
roadster.

Convention certainly was a grand success and we are all so interested
in the many new ideas which our President brought back with her.

Jane Louise Brown,' 26, is Woman's Editor of the Daily Mini. It is
an office of great honor and no one is better suited for the position than
our own President. She was recently elected secretary and treasurer of
the Student Council at Illinois.

Leonie McLaughlin has returned from her trip to Europe and has
many interesting experiences to relate.
