d NU KAPPA—SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY
y Nu Kappa is rejoicing over the pledging of nineteen freshmen this
year. This sets the record, for we have never before taken more than
fourteen. We are hoping that they will be record breakers in more ways
than one because the requirements for initiation have been made excep-
tionally hard. Wc are also looking forward to initiation next week when
we will take three of our last year's pledges, Ethel Ma}' Whitaker, Artie
ts Lee Sypert and Mary Mildred Haughton, into our chapter. We will all
e be glad to welcome them as sure enough sisters.
N.
l, Our chapter is very active in school work this year. Margaret Pepple
is president of Panhellenic, Mildred Shell is vice-president of the Y . W.
C. A., and Thedadora Elliot, one of our new pledges, is secretary of
y the freshman class.

es Beta Phi, after one breathless but extremely successful week of
lushing, has started on what promises to be a most happy year. First
and most important of all, let me introduce our seventeen wonderful
y pledges: Adeline Hughes, Angola, Ind.; Peg Coombs, Crawfordsville,
w Ind., Oxford's Woman's College; Jennie Carpenter, Sullivan, Ind., Illinois
e Woman's College; Mary Ellen Jenkins, Big Rapids, Mich., Sullin's Junior

College; Pauline McCoy, Sullivan, Ind., Oxford's Woman's College; Dor-
s othy Bennett, Fort Wayne, Ind.,; Vivian Ellis, Paoli, Ind., Cincinnati
a Conservatory of Music; Alice Cullnane, Kokomo, Ind.; Anne McFall.
Terre Haute, Ind.; Roma Anderson and Marjorie Uecker, Gary, Ind.;
f Laura Montgomery, Muncie Ind.; Catherine Goss, Detroit, Mich., Detroit
City College; Mae Mobley, Summitville. Ind.; Dorothy Sheets, Indian-
s apolis. Ind.; Mary Rogers, Bloomington, Ind.; and Frances Luke, Coving-
ton, Ind., Illinois Woman's College.

i Mildred Schneider deserves much credit for the way she piloted us
g through our mad scramble for "rhinies"; in other words, she was our
rush captain. Our rushing parties which we thought were extremely well
planned and clever, included a Jaqueminot Rose dinner, a "Stop, Eat and
c Laugh" luncheon, a Lavender and Pink tea dance and a Tropical dance.
. Beta Phi girls are well represented on the campus this year. Allison
Bolitho is president of W. A. A., undergraduate representative of Y . W.
l C. A., a member of Mortar Board, an I . U. sweater girl and a member
of History Club. Gladys Alger is head of swimming and a Plaeadis
. pledge. Thetis Kemp is Sophomore Organized representative of W. S.
G. A. Olive Derbyshire is a member of Garrick Club, honorary dramatic
organization. Dorothy Clarke is head of student gymnasium work. Marie
Sullivan is a member of History Club. We have eight girls (upperclass-
men) in W. A. A. The Freshmen are all busy with Garrick Club "try-
outs,'' hockey and soccer teams and other campus activities; fall member-
e ships have not been announced.
g
w Thetis Kemp is our newest and youngest initiate. Last year she was
r the youngest girl in school and an "A" student. We are all very proud
k to have her wearing an AOn pin.
n
e Our regular chaperon, Mrs. Chase of Fort Benjamin Harrison, will
t not come before November 1. Until then, Mrs. Zuck, who was with us
, three years ago, is acting as our house mother.

Last week, one of our pledges. Pauline McCoy, was called home by
the sudden and tragic death of her brother. Lowell McCoy. He was
also a brother of Miriam, our last year's president. We extend our deepest
a sympathy to the family.

d Last Saturday was the DePauw-Tndiaua football game and several
e pirl> from Theta visited us. Beta Phi extends a cordial invitation for all
AOn's to visit her and hopes that their prospects for the year are as
bright as hers. R E Z I N A A. B O N D .
