TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 63

Emily Tarbell was hostess at her home for the summer meeting in mid-
August. Mary Lutz, Agnes Crowell Rood, and Thelma Vinal were special
guests, all fortunately in town for the summer. Cordelia Vance sent us
a report of convention, a most delightful one.

The chapter plans to have a different one of its members act as hostess
at the chapter house each day during the rushing season. The alumnae will
have charge of one of the six parties allowed under Panhellenic rules.
Great is the interest in planning it.

The spring meeting of the Inter-fraternity Conference of the Women's
Fraternities, at Syracuse, brought the alumnae Greek-letter women closer
together. I t was decided that Miss Louise Leonard, Grand President of
Alpha Gamma Delta, should be asked to address a convocation of all incom-
ing freshmen women at the university to explain fraternities and fraternity
life to them. The alumnae are to cooperate in keeping rushing expenses
at a nominal figure. One hundred and fifty dollars is suggested as an
adequate sum to cover the expenditures of the ten days of the rushing
season.

NASHVILLE

Summer time in Nashville is not a very busy season, due to the fact
that most of us are in transit for at least a part of the time, visiting our
more fortunate friends in cooler climes. We have had only one meeting
since June, and that a convention meeting. The two delegates just returned
from the "Land of Ten Thousand Lakes" gave glowing accounts of the
hospitality of the girls of Tau and Minneapolis Alumnae chapter who made
possible our most successful and enjoyable week at Radisson Inn.

On May 28, when we, together with N u Omicron, were in the midst
of a local Founders' Day banquet at the Hermitage hotel, a note was sent
up from the main dining room asking i f a visiting Alpha O might join us.
We were very glad indeed to have with us for the rest of the evening
Lucy Somerville, Kappa '16, who happened to be passing through Nash-
ville at that time. We wish that all Alpha O's who come to our city from
time to time would let us know so that we can meet them and help them
to enjoy their visits.

A l l our efforts this summer are being concentrated on making money
for N u Omicron's chapter house into which they move in the fall. A t
present we are filling a chest with handmade household articles to be
raffled off at so much a chance. W i t h this money we expect to buy a living
room suite for the house. A charity card party which we hope will also
net us a nice little sum is on our list of activities f o r the fall.

Summer vacations have greatly thinned our ranks. Ruby Turnbull,
our president has been away f o r many weeks and Dorothy Nolan, the
vice president, is having a wonderful trip abroad. Josephine Hobson has
been acting as president in their absence, but she hasn't many alumnae
to superintend. Elizabeth Clinton is in Columbia and will be there all
