RHO—NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY

No letter.

LAMBDA—STANFORD UNIVERSITY

Stanford opened as usual on October 1. After several days of
upheaved and greeting of old friends we are now settled down to the
usual routine.

Our chapter is smaller than ever before this year. Only ten girls
are living in the house, but we are fortunate in having four girls living
in the vicinity with their families. One other, Anna Fitzhugh '25, is
living in the women's dormitory where she is acting as sponsor to the
new women. She will be back in the house spring quarter.

Once more we are facing late spring bidding, with a whole year of
uncertainty ahead of us. We will make a week's formal rushing at the
beginning of winter and spring quarters. Our only rushing function this
quarter will be a tea. Competition is very keen on this campus as there
are ten sororities and only about one hundred and twenty-five new women
have been admitted.

There were several marriages solemnized this summer. Ruth Meisner
and Herbert Darling were married in July and are now living in Boston
Laura Davis and Howard Hamelin and Ellowenc Delahoyde and Daniel
Evans were married in September. Both couples are living in Palo Alto
Virginia Flippen was married to Kenneth Lilly in August. They are
living in Bakersficld.

IOTA—UNIVERSITY O F ILLINOIS

Iota is all ready for a big year. We seem to be in the thick of things
now. Since rushing we have had a tea for our pledges and our new
chaperon, Mrs. Catherine Morrill. A stunt has been turned before the
Homecoming stunt committee and we hope to have the homecomers see
Iota win the cup.

Next Saturday we are having a pledge dance. The plans sound very
enticing. Tiny programs shaped like balloons bearing a huge '28 will
correspond with the real balloon favors, also flaunting the numerals of
our freshmen.

These pledges arc worthy of the cleverest dance that could be planned.
They are Ethel Alymer. '27. Chicago; Eva Benson. '28. De Kalb: Louise
Feldwisch. '26, St. Louis; Wilma Law, '28, Savanna; Florence Leetc, '28,
Chicago; Helen O'Shea. '28. Chicago; Mary Leslie Robison. '25, Pekin;
Angelene Saling. 28. Decatur; Bethel Srout, '28, Pontiac; and Roberta
Stroheker, '26, Barry.

Iota is very proud of the scholastic standing on the campus last year.
Not only docs the house as a whole rank high, but several of the girls
have won special honor. Dorothy Dickinson. '25, was made a member
of Phi Beta Kappa. Helen Grimes, '26, and Cherric Malcolmson. '27,
were among the nine university women making 5 point averages. Cherrie,
Margaret Burton and Blanche Smith were members of the new sorority,
Alpha Lambda Delta, for freshman women making above 4.5 averages.

Because Iota did not have a letter in the May number you have not
heard of some of last year's activities. Dorothy D.'s name headed the list
of Mortar Board when it appeared on the Senior bench May Day. She
is also president of Thcta Sigma Phi for this year.

Jane Louise Brown. '26, spends all her spare time making out assign-
ment sheets for the Daily Mini. Gertrude Moore, '25, was one of the
eight campus beauties in the Illio. She also lead the Summer Prom.
