'JS' Jo ANN MCCARTHY ROSEMARY QU IGLEY JEAN HUISKING STEI NSCHNEI DER KAPPA llilllllli-l Pl AN IMPORTANT step was taken toward further developing and unifying leadership of Catholic college women throughout the country in l926, when initial plans were laid for the founding of Kappa Gamma Pi, the National Honor Society of Catholic college women. The desirability of establishing such an organization was discussed at the conference of Catholic Women's colleges held in Louisville, Kentucky, lt was favorably received and during the next two years local chapters were formed within the particular colleges participating. ln i929 the first National Congress was held at Seton Hill College, Greensburg, Pennsylvania. At this congress delegates from twenty- three colleges were in attendance. At this time the Constitution and by-laws were adopted, and officers elected. The purpose of the organization is to set a high standard of character, scholarship, service, and leadership by stressing the importance of intellectual pursuits and the necessity for upholding Catholic educational ideals. Kappa Gamma Pi limits membership to honor graduates of approved Catholic Colleges, and thenurnber elected in one year must not exceed ten percent of the graduating class. Barbara Doti, Jean Huisking Steinschneider, JoAnn McCarthy, Mary Ellen O'Keefe, and Rosemary Quigley were elected from the class of l948. Members admitted to Kappa Gamma Pi during the past five years include: Marguerite Laube Daley Mary Jane McMaster Vivian Fricker Leonard Helen Marchese Eleanor Weisbrod Ruth Weisbrod Darragh lSister Helen Mariel Mary Morris Powell Mafla De LOUl'CleS Balbas ' Eileen Hone St. Andre l-OVGTTB Tiefenbach 54.4 MARY ELLEN O'KEEFE BARBARA DOT' 188

The Delta Chapter was installed at Georgian Court College this year. lt was established for the purpose of promoting standards of high scholarship in the Depart- ment of Business Administration, to bind the members into closer friendship and loyalty to one another, to dignity the profession of com- merce, to extend the feeling of tolerance and understanding, to encourage participation in school activities, and to uphold the interests of our Alma Mater.

.iw E . -1 3 Eileen Delaney, president of the Georgian Court Alumnae Association. IT IS the Alumnae Association' that is the unifying bond between Georgian Court and her graduates. This organization binds to- gether those students who have left Alma Mater to make their way in the world. ln this way those who were bound together by ideals and common interests during their college days may retain and enrich these friendships in the years to come. The Alumnae Association has followed an active program throughout the year. At the autumn meeting, held on October second at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City, plans were made to create active chapters in the various counties and cities where Georgian Court graduates are situated. This was voted upon and officers elected for each group. The founding of the branch chapters has been. highly successful and spreads Alma Mater ac- tivities over a very rnuch greater- portion of the country which heretofore was without this bond. Plans have also been formulated for the issuance of an Alumnae News Report. This will consist of the whereabouts and news of all members of the college alumnae and is to be published in the late spring or early summer. The Annual Bridge and Fashion Show was held at the Starlight Roof of the Waldorf- Tllll lllilllll All SSlllll1l'l'lll Astoria on February nineteenth. lt was both a social and financial success, being well attended as well as reuniting graduates of past years who had lost contact with one another. Georgian Court students were present at this affair with several members of the class of '49 acting as hostesses. Throughout the year the various member chapters of the Association presented teas, dances, and other affairs. The undergraduate students are- encouraged to attend these func- tions wherever possible and in this way become familiar with the activities of their own chapters. ln May the Annual Alumnae Weekend was held on the college campus. A large repre- sentation of former graduates was noted and it was at this spring meeting that the members of the senior class were presented to the Asso- ciation and became official members. The officers of the Alumnae Association are: Eileen Delaney, president, who repre- sented the Association at the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae, Viola Kroehl Hargan, vice president, Carolyn Four Frohn- wieser, corresponding secretary, Margaret Tirrell O'Brien, recording secretary, Mary Hoolihan Seaver, treasurer.
