MEMPHIS

We have been quite busy for the last two months with plans for a
chapter at Southwestern. We entertained at first about twenty prospects;
from these we chose the five we thought most suitable f o r A O n material.
They are attractive girls and were already being rushed by the two
fraternities in the university. We asked these girls to form a local
and petition us for a chapter. Imagine our joy when all five accepted.
They got together at once and elected a president and named their
organization Kappa Omicron in honor of the two chapters of ACTI most
largely represented in our alumnae group.

Margaret Branscomb wrote that she would pass through Memphis,
so we wired our Grand President and they met here to pass judg-
ment on what we had done. They seemed to approve very heartily. We
had a big banquet and all felt like undergraduates again.

Catherine Craig from Nu Omicron was one of the out-of-town guests
for the banquet.
