divided her time between the active and the alumnae chapters, and
was too busy to accept many social engagements. But we were all very
proud to have her with us, and we hope that she will visit us again.

CHI—SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
Chi is beginning to settle down after our week of rushing with it
six parties, and unlimited personal rushing. We pledged four tine
girls: Cordelia Vance, Berwick, Pa.; Norma Baker, Richmond Hill, N
Y . ; Eunomia Lewis, Brooklyn, N . Y . ; and Dorothv Mapes, Cornwall
N. Y .
Activities are now reigning, causing the pledges to wonder if they
came to college for studies or activities. Cordelia has already made Glee
Club and University Chorus, while Norma, our artist, is sketching every
thing from the peanut-man at the football game to Liberal Arts build
ing, in trying out for a position on the art staff of the Phoenix magazine
Dorothy is searching every nook and corner this week for news in hopes
of becoming a "regular" on the Daily Orange, our college newspaper.
We are happy to announce the initiation of Carol Kendall, '27, Betty
Whitney, '26, and Mary Harper, '27. Some day, when we build our new
home, it is to be planned by Mary. She is the only woman in the College
of Architecture at Syracuse.
Mary Williams, 25, was elected last May to Eta Pi Upsilon which is
the same as Mortar Board in other universities. She was also chosen a
member of Lambda Tan Rho, honorary Romance Language fraternity.
Mary has added another office to our list, that of president of
Romance Language club. Are we not justly proud of our Mary?
Helen Roszcll. '25, was chosen social chairman of Classical Club this
fall.
Alice Reeve, '26, who left us last year, has returned.
Next week the inter-sorority basketball tournament begins and Chi
is hoping to have its name engraved on the cup. The games are being
played on Hendricks Field, our new athletic held for women.
Syracuse has added another school to the university, that of Public
Citizenship, the first of its kind to be established in the United States.
Elihu Root spoke at the time of its inauguration.
With the installation of Alpha Delta Pi, last May, we now have all
the national fraternities on our campus.
We are often pleasantlv surprised by the visit of the Epsilon girls.
We certainly enjoy seeing them.

UPSILON—UNIVERSITY O F WASHINGTON
I know all the chapters will be interested in knowing about the
new girls we pledged this year. A new system of pre-registration rushing
on the campus started one week before registration day. All the new
girls coming to take examinations for gymnasium opened the way for
the new exjieriment which worked out very successfully. The first week
began with a big tea and then was followed by a dinner and luncheon
for the next three days. After this rush the second week dates were
rent out and the following girls were pledged: Edith Broom. Margaret
Burnsides. Vilva Corv. Tune Gaine. Margaret Evans, Dorothv Hesseldenz,
Gertrude McCanne, Helen Jean Randall, and Marguerite Reichart.
We are happy to have with us this year Gladys Ameson from Alpha
Phi and Dorothy Dickinson from Alpha Sigma.
Elizabeth I emley. Anita Mayrand and Loretta Lawler were initiated
on Sept. 23. We were more than fortunate to have Laura Hurd here
to conduct the initiation.
