Pi Beta Phi ' s lucky 113th chapter found a home on the University of Florida Campus. At a time when being first in anything is hard, the girls of Florida Delta Chapter were proud to be charter members of the 15th sorority on campus. The initiated charter members of the chapter were warmly welcomed with a tea at President and Mrs. O ' Connell ' s home. Mrs. O ' Connell and other Gainesville alumnae greeted national officers of Pi Beta Phi and representatives of sororities, fraternities, and other campus organizations. Throughout their first year, the Pi Phi ' s enjoyed being helped by and working with several fraternities. Both ATO and Sigma Nu chapters donated space for fall rush parties since the young sorority did not yet have a house. Working with the Lambda Chi ' s for Homecoming events and with the TKE ' s in their canned food drive rounded out a busy year. Jan Littlefield represented Delta chapter as Panhellenic Treasurer, while Kathy Dolan was one of Miss University of Florida ' s ten semifinalists. The busy Pi Phi ' s also captured the all-participation trophy in the Gator Olympics. The Pi Phi ' s experienced a new dimension in sorority living while awaiting construction of their house. The girls lived together in an apartment complex, reserving one apartment for sorority functions and activities. It was a wonderful year for the Pi Beta Phi ' s. sorority colonized VP- Manning, Linda Sec- Eng, Sharlan Treas- Parker, Linda Rush Chmn- Codianne, Mary Pi Phi ' s honored by a tea at the home of Mrs. O ' Connell. 365
