Chapter Letters 43 fourth we gave a formal dinner at the Beardsley Hotel, in Champaign, after the dinner we returned to the chapter house and finished the evening, as well as our rushing season, with dancing. Among the smaller parties we gave were a children’s party, a breakfast party at Crystal Lake’in Webana, a dice party, and a conversation party. Bid day was October fifth. We felt well repaid for all our hard work when we pledged eight girls. On Wednesday evening, October twenty-third, we. were entertained by our pledges. It was, perhaps, the best party we had had, and we enjoyed it all the more because it was given us by the girls who were so soon to be initiated into our beloved sorority. Thursday evening, October twenty-fourth, we had our mock initiation, and the following Saturday six pledges, Vera Hunter, Hazel Elliott, Eleanor Mackey, Eloise Nation, Jessie Akester and Fannie Brooks, were formally initiated into Sigma Kappa. After the ceremony a banquet was held at the Beardsley. Sister Lois Reed was toastmistress, and toasts were given by Florence Williamson, Fannie Brooks, Alpha Myers, of Eta Chapter, Jessie Oard, Rowena Owen, Gwinthlean Par- sons, and Tirzah Bradley, Theta ’o6. We still have two pledges who were not initiated, Lois Teal and Blanche Derrough. So far I have written only of rushing season and its results. There are several other items of interest which we may mention. Gladys Straight was chosen secretary of Yo Moh, the Sophomore sorority. Maude Williamson is eligible for preliminary honors at the University. Florence William- son is a member of the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, and chairman of the calling committee. Sisters Louise Pierson, Beth Engel, and Ruth Peabody, of Eta Chapter, and sister Peirson’s sister Florence, were guests of Theta Chapter from October seventeenth to twentieth. Alpha Myers, and Edna Mahaffey, of Eta Chap- ter, attended our initiation.
