An unusual zeal and enthusiasm characterized the preparations for the annual Christmas Party held at Father Bakers Infant Home and St. joseph's Orphan Home. The singular appreciation and pleasure which were manifested among the orphans made the members of the sorority more cognizant of the truth of the maxim, Success lies in giving happiness to othersfl The gigantic success of the program ad contest of this year may be justly attributed to the increased zest and energy which were the result of the declaration that the annual contest was to be waged between the two college sororities, Kappa Chi and Alpha Sigma. Congratulations are due to every member of each sorority but especially to the victorious Kappa Chi.

T reasurer Above all we are a social club and have done much to make us retain the love of our college and the regard of our sorority sisters. Our numbers remain about the same, which is advertisement enough to prove that we all have a good time. To the active members of Alpha Sigma we extend a cordial welcome to the passive chapter as soon as the counterfsign, Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Sciences, can be given. We assure you a most enjoyable time the first lvlonday of every month. The mini' mum of business meetings will exist, but much good fellowship will always be ap' parent. Indeed, good comradie is the secret of the success of our meetings. Come oneg come all! l

. QUVILLI f T M gi ANQQA Since we were this year the Junior Sorority, the initiation of the incoming Fresh- man Class was our first task. The candidates were subjected to a week of probation during which time the Juniors tested their character and good nature by submitting them to many little trials and inconveniences. Friday, the last day of probation, was the real test, the Freshmen came, clad in the raiment of their childhood days, and performed many antics which caused much laughter and mirth among the upper classes. But the participants came through the ordeal valiantly, and we were glad to welcome them as members of Kappa Chi at the formal reception on October 14. This year Kappa Chi cofoperated with the St. Vincent de Paul Society in bringing Christmas cheer and comfort to the many poor families in the city. The girls did their share by dressing dolls and contributing clothing. On December 16 we had a spread , the purpose of which was to fill the stockings with Christmas candy. These, together with clothing, were then forwarded to the St. Vincent de Paul headquarters and were distributed where they would be the most appreciated. Shortly after the Easter holidays the two Sororities, Alpha Sigma and Kappa Chi, combined to give a May-time party. This was a new procedure and was acclaimed a brilliant success. Thus reads Kappa Chi Chronicle for the year 1924 f 1925. W Mazziur Glheqatvr ANNE I-IOWLETT, '20 ,... ......... ............. P 1 esident HELEN LEINERT, '20 ..........,, .............

Because of our increased membership this year, we have found it impractical to meet at the homes of the girls, and so we have met either in the ballroom of the Catholic Business Women's Club in Summer Street, or at the Lenox Hotel. We had two dinner parties there, the first in November, and the second in February, followed. by bridge. In December we also had a supper, this time at the College. Afterward we made stocking dolls for Christmas, which were used for the children of the families of whom we took care as our share of the Alumnae work. In order to become better acquainted with the younger Kappa Chi members, we had our annual joint meeting of the Actives and the Passives in May at the Lenox. Twice our friends joined with us to have a good time. On November 18, 1924, we held an informal dance in the ballroom of the Hotel Buffalo. We had Over two hundred guests. Later in the year, at Easter, we entertained at a formal supper dance in the Grill of the Statler. Invitations were limited to one hundred couples. We are very sorry to record the death of one of our members, Jean McCarey Sterne, for whose soul we had Requiem Mass sung in our loved College Chapel. 115'
