TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 57

LOS ANGELES ALUMNAE
ne Did the rest of you enjoy the last To D R A G M A as much as I did?
h, Just to think that our scholarship is a reality! Congratulations Thelma
ve Brumfield, you have a record of which you may be proud. I think the
on Editor should come in for her share of congratulations too, as the
of Alumnae To D R A G M A was a great success.

The Los Angeles Alumnae Chapter is still concentrating on our
re expansion work at the Southern Branch of the University of California.
ce After spending a great deal of time investigating locals, we decided not
rt to support a petition from any of them. Instead we are sponsoring the
of formation of a new local. A committee has been interviewing and calling
ly on a great many girls, and we hope in time to make a selection of
w which all Alpha O's will be proud. We expect to help in the rushing
l) and organization of this group. Mary DeWitt is on the faculty and

will be their adviser. We were sorry to have Mabel Jackson resign.
However, she is still in the city, and will be able to help us.

At our last two alumnae meetings we have enjoyed having the active
H . girls from Lambda. Anna Fitzhugh told us of the difficulties in the

rushing system at Stanford. It was so interesting to hear in detail the
things about which we have been reading. We all felt in much closer touch
with the university.

We have a new future Alpha O here in Los Angeles. Alice Patten
has a new little Patricia. She arrived August twenty-sixth.
ng Martha Wolff was married to Mr. Robert A. Benkert on May 11th.

n, She had a lovely wedding at which there were several Tau and Lambda

on LINCOLN ALUMNAE
ed
Since our last letter the Lincoln alumnae have been very busy, as
we took a more active part in the rushing this year than we have before.
This season three girls were assigned to each party, two to act as
h- hostesses and the third to be sure that everything went smoothly in the
so kitchen. The rest of the older girls took turns acting as chauffeurs,
me calling for the rushees and taking them home. This left all the active
s. girls free to rush. Our college is so large and the competition so keen
ta that we all have to work hard during the week.
he
or Every year our chapter gives one party for the active girls and the
nd rushees, the only time during the week when we are allowed to entertain
ps away from the sorority house. This year our party was held at the home
at of Helen and Elsie Fitzgerald, a carnival with a roulette wheel, fish
pe pond and fortune telling booth in the garden. For prizes we gave cunning
be little gifts made by the different girls. We served the lunch in bright
colored tin boxes and we all sat around in the garden to unpack them.
We feel sure that the rushing was worth all the time, money and effort
rn that we put into it as we have twenty freshmen that we are sure are

u- all going to be good strong Alpha O's and girls that we are going to be
proud of all through their college life.

rk The first regular meeting for the year is to be held next Thursday
nd ^ ' Se e n n and is to be a party for Darrina Turner who is to be married
ss. the fifteenth of this month to Francis G. Paige. Darrina's wedding is
*° be an^ Alpha O wedding. It is to be at the chapter house with the
Alpha O's as members of the wedding party as well as guests.
