156 TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI

Y . W. C . A. Annie Kate Gilbert, a Kappa from Dallas, is now a field
secretary in the Southwestern District.

Besides saying that we have some new furniture, a floor lamp and a
wicker table for the chapter-room, I don't know of anything of
interest to our sister chapters. We were certainly charmed with the
visit of Isabelle Henderson Stewart, who spent a day and night with
us. We gave one or two affairs i n her honor, but felt that the time
was all too short for us to see as much of her as we wanted to, much
less to do as much for her as we would have liked to do.

We have had a very mild winter here until the last three weeks when
the weather has been fearful, but'everyone seems to have the "spring"
wish, when out of door f u n will reign.

I n closing we wish all the joys that a brand new year can possibly
have in store for anyone, to our sister chapters; in short, may they
be healthy, wealthy, and wise (with all that the latter implies, i n
regard to Alpha Omicron Pi) is the wish of N u Kappa through

G E N E V I E V E GROCE, Chapter Editor.

BETA PHI—INDIANA UNIVERSITY

Dear Sisters in Alpha Omicron Pi:
Beta Phi greets you once again. I t seems years since the last time

we sent word to all of you. So very many things have happened
since then. For one thing we have started a New Year which we
hope will be f u l l of sunshine and good luck for each and everyone
of us. Our Christmas play time is past, and we are back again to
work harder than ever. And why must we work harder ? Surely you
may guess that semester examinations are just around the corner. We
are all determined to do our very best so that Alpha Omicron Pi
may have a high place in the scholarship ranking of sororities here.

We are so very sorry to tell you that two of our girls did not re-
turn from the Christmas recess. We miss them very much. Eleanor
McCarthy was called to her home in New York State by the severe
illness of her mother and cannot return this year.

Since we last wrote to you we have initiated two girls. We had
special initiation for them because they had the necessary credits, and
we wanted them each to be truly one of us. These girls were Emma
McClain and Edith Huntington.

Mrs. Stewart made us a visit in November. She stayed with us
for three days, and we were very glad to have her. We all enjoyed
her visit, and feel that it was very helpful to us. She was able to
make some very helpful suggestions, which we feel have benefited us
a great deal.
