In rapid succes- sion, three sororities became affiliated with national groups and, observing a tradition estab- lished last year, the Council honored each with a tea closing the installation activities. Two inter-sorority sings, one each semester, preceded the semi-annual awarding of the Esther Russell Scholarship cup. The first semester Alpha Xi Delta won the cup for the second consecutive time while Gamma Phi Beta received it second semester. Following the system of delayed pledging, the Council initiated a method of registered rushing, preferential bidding, and the quota system for pledging. Each sorority was allowed twenty freshmen, four transfers, and an unlimited num- ber of upperclass women. To aid the new students, Panhellenic compiled a leaflet of rules and defini- tions pertaining to rushing and bidding. t Maintaining an active fraternity life during a wartime crisis was the difficulty which confronted the men who represented the four fraternities on the Inter-Fraternity Council this year. Pouring over the blue prints of Fraternity Row-to-be the Council worked on a post-war plan for the nationalization of two of its members, bet- ter fraternal spirit, and a more integrated program ol' fraternity and administrative activities. Immediate action was taken in regard to the revision of the pledge rules at the opening session last September. Reorganized to meet the demands of military units, the new system approved the pledging of service men, and methods of rushing and initiating. Groups were enabled to pledge men immediately and to initiate after the first estimates of grades were released. In spite of heated discussions over the Council table at weekly meetings, the whole program was directed toward the spirit of universal brother- hood for which Inter-Fraternity Council stands.

Filling the role of mother, big sister, and coun- sel, the Freshman Adviser was one of thirty junior and senior women chosen by the W.S.G.A. legislative board and Dean Audrey Kenyon Wilder. Selected for qualities of personality, leadership, and scholastic ability, the Adviser was assigned to contact freshman women before the semester opened. It was her task to visit the girls in her charge and to help them make necessary adjust- ments. She listened to their troubles, or kept them from becoming homesick, not to mention steering them clear of eight o'clock classes, recommending second hand books, and pointing out that blue draperies are better than gray ones. Freshman Advisers sponsored a series of teas for new women students. They acted as hostesses and committee chairmen, helping new students become acquainted with each other and with up- perclass women. These junior and senior women helped to solve many problems and smoothed the path of the freshman woman. IFRONT RUW Clrjt lu righliz Dorothy Ili:-slmp, iii-ttv Zan-nglc-in Van lflcc-L.

The girl who wore the orange badge was the Sophomore Aide, who acted as a guiding light to all new freshman women. Chosen by the W.S. G.A. legislative board on the basis of personality, scholarship, and friendliness, these thirty some students helped in welcoming freshman women to the campus. The beginning of each semester found the Sophomore Aide busily acting as a big sister to each new girl, and helping her little sister become acquainted with the school and its customs. Through her, the new freshman began to feel at home. Some Sophomore Aides attended all the fresh- man teas and other social events to become ae- quainted with the girls in this way. Others lived at Shatzel Hall and helped freshmen in their ad- justments to dormitory life. It was an honor to be chosen a Sophomore Aide and the sophomore realized her duties to the new l'reshmen. She understood the difficulties of ad- justment, for it was only a year ago that she herself had been a freshman in need of advice. FRONT ROW Uvj! In rigllllz Martha 'l'ransuv, Mary Wi-Ilhaum.
