Pan liellenic Ccuncil Interfraternity Council Officers President Nancy Gillham Vice President Flora Hauhart Secretary Eleanor Grigsby Treasurer Margaret Laxson The fraternity system, binding together in groups students with mutual interests and ideals, has become a very definite part of our higher educational institutions. In a spirit of cooper- ation and to more effectively advance the pur- poses for which they were founded, the various sororities of the country have provided a na- tional clearing house for inter-sorority prob- lems. The local Pan-Hellenic Council is affil- iated with this National Congress. In pursuing these aims, the Monmouth College Council holds regular monthly meetings and discusses questions of interest to the different groups. This organization links together the active chapters, alumnae, the National Pan-Hellenic Congress and the college administration. As an organization Pan-Hellenic has spon- sored a number of social events throughout the year. In October a tea was held at Hawcock ' s for all new women on the campus. In Febru- ary the Interfraternity Council was entertained at dinner in McMichael Home. A tea in honor of former dean of women. Miss Mary Ross Potter, was held in March. Pan-Hellenic Council has done much toward making life easier and less complex for Mon- mouth ' s freshman girls, and providing a help- ful, wholesome atmosphere for all the college women. Officers President Edward Barron Secretary Lawrence Pogue The Interfraternity Council is all that its name implies — a council for the discussion and solution of interfraternity problems. Com- posed of representatives from each of the three Monmouth fraternities, it unifies these differ- ent groups. It helps to promote a spirit of fel- lowship and good will on the campus. All of the various questions which come to its atten- tion are considered at the monthly meetings. Like all other human institutions, the Coun- cil is busier at some times than at others. One of its most active periods is during the first few weeks of school, when it directs the rushing of new members of the various fraternities. In collaboration with Dean Cleland it determines and enforces rules of conduct. Different days of the final week are allotted to each fraternity and for the last two days a period of quiet is ob- served. For some time a plan similar to Dr. Murray ' s popular exchange night has been practiced by the fraternities. Under the sponsorship of the Council some members of each group from time to time exchange meals with the other groups, thus widening the sphere of fellowship of each fraternity. Page Nineteen
