The aims of the sorority are to create and foster fellowship among musicians during their student days, to give aid to worthy women musicians, and to further the cause of American music. Rho chapter, established in 1925, has been an active participant in the practice of these principles. Among the ac ' .ivities of Rho chapter for this year were two formal musicales, an informal party for eligible women, the installation of Mrs. Guy Fraser Harrison as a patronness, and a visit from our Province President, Margaret Glynn, and our National President, Bessie Covert.
