OMICRON—UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE

Our rushing season was more quiet than usual. We had two big
parties, one of which was given by our alumna? and the other by a

patroness. Instead of having the third allowed us by Panhellenic
we gave twenty-five dollars to the Y. W. C. A . War Fund. I n our

little parties, also, the alumnae helped us out greatly. We have six
pledges and one new member, and we are as proud as we can be. Our

new member is Johnetta Hancock, a junior this year, and our pledges
are Grace Ware, Elizabeth Ware Donald, Helen Shea, Melba Braly,

Eula Scott, and Mary Bryant.

Mrs. Stewart's too short visit came just when we were in the midst

of rushing, and we are sorry we didn't see more of her. We hope
she w i l l return soon, for we all fell in love with her, of course. You

all know by now what a source of inspiration and help she is.
We have not done any Red Cross work as a chapter, but several

of the girls have been knitting and one or two sewing. The class in
freshman sewing, by the way, has been making hospital shirts. As

for other work, several of the girls are interested in settlement work,
and have classes at the Henetry Settlement.

We must tell you that our president is one of seven girls to make
Phi Kappa Phi, and the only sorority girl. We are all very proud

of her, especially as she is completing her course in three years.

Thanksgiving has become a time of reunion for us, i t seems. This

year we had about ten visitors, including those girls whose homes are
here, but who are teaching somewhere else this year. Mrs. Morris,

one of our patronesses, gave us a delightful party. You can hardly
imagine what a delight it is to the members of the active chapter to

have such visits from the older girls.

Omicron sends love and best wishes f o r a happy and prosperous

new year to each and every one of you. Editor.

KAPPA—RANDOLPH-MACON WOMAN'S COLLEGE

Since our last letter Kappa has six new members, and Mrs. Stewart
was here for initiation too! We were rather surprised when a tele-
gram announced that she would soon arrive. I t was Halloween
