TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 41

Collins, Assistant Professor at New York University, tells us that her
husband's book on salesmanship has been recently published.

Evelyn Helland is an instructor in the chemistry department, and
Dorothy McDowell continues her work as assistant in the mathematics
department.

Miss Agnes Tufverson studies law in the evenings and does corpora-
tion work during the day.

Miss Clara E . Van Emden spent the summer in Holland. She has
completed her work at college and expects to take the bar examinations
in October.

We have mentioned only a few of our girls. When we write to To
D R A G M A again we hope to introduce the others.

At our last meeting we made plans for the coming year. Rush
parties, teas, dances, and all sorts of good times are waiting for us. We
will tell you about some of them in our next letter.

OMICRON—UNIVERSITY O F TENNESSEE

We are all back and hard at work again—seventeen strong. Omicron
had three new members right away this year, for Elizabeth Long, Mar-
garet Harvey and Dorothy Hayes were pledged and initiated in May, just
before we disbanded for the summer. And what's more, last week we
initiated Virginia Black, who was pledged last fall but went to Syracuse
for the second term and thus failed to be initiated with last year's
freshmen. We are also glad to have Margaret Smith back in the chapter
after her year of teaching.

We have bought some new furniture for our room, including a
serving table, a console mirror, draperies, and a new Victrola, which is
our joy and pride. For the first two weeks of school, we weren't allowed
to bring freshmen into the frat room, and the way our hearts were torn
between the desire to play^ the Victrola and fear of turning loose for
an instant our numerous "prospects" was truly agonizing.

Now the rushing season is in full swing, however, and we make good
use of our room. Formal rushing is confined to the week-ends and the
season is only three weeks long, so we are depending largely on our
very industrious "personal" rushing. Pledge Day is October 15, so
naturally we are getting quite excited. We will end things up with a
very "spiffy" dance this week-end.

We wish to extend a vote of thanks to the new Memphis Alumnae
chapter for the way in which they helped our four Memphis girls rush
this summer. They put us in touch with several splendid girls. Here's
hoping they'll feel their efforts repaid when they see the nice new alumnae
we'll send them in a few years!

KAPPA—RANDOLPH-MACON COLLEGE

Everybody is excited over the planning of our rush teas, and the one
week of open rushing following four weeks of silence, both of which
have been instituted as part of our new rushing system. The brightness
of Kappa's prospects for the best and most successful rushing season
ever, we feel, is due, to a great extent, to the kindness of our alumnae
in sending in a bigger number of recommendations.

We are fortunate in having five very attractive little sisters. One
of them has been elected freshman president, and although we have not
been allowed to bid her as yet, we already feel that it is "all in the
- family."

I am sure that you will be interested to know that Louise Johnson,
one of our last year's seniors, who became Mrs. Frank Gilliam this
summer, is now in the Belgian Congo to remain three years with her
