C. P., the student rolls have gradually included more and more women. Some twenty years or so ago, there was a Women's Club at the College, which was active for a time and then went out of existence. One of the essentials of a pleasant and successful college career is the in- clusion of social life along with tl1e school routi11e. The need of some social activities for the girls of the College led to the organization, in 1913, of Lainlida Kappa Sigma, which for several years was a local a11d an open society. During the session of 1917-1918, efforts were made to establish it as a national sorority, and some chapters were formed in other colleges that year. It was then made a secret and a selective organization. The sorority now has four chapters in the East, four in the Middle XYest, and three in the Far West, in schools which are members of the American Con- ference of Pharmaceutical Faculties. For son1e years tl1e Council of Alpha Chapter carried on the affairs of the society, but last spring a Grand Council was organized of graduate members of Alpha and otl1er chapters, with the Grand Office here in Boston. The social affairs of Alpha Chapter for the year are included in the College Calendar, published in another part of this book. But the objects of tl1e sorority are not Wholly social, for it endeavors to help its members in striving to liye up to its high ideals of loyalty, of helpful service, of scholarship, and hopes thereby to develop in tl1em greater strength of mind and soul. 101

XYitl1 the coming of the year 1922, the desire to expand gripped the members of this organi- zation. Isaac I. Weiser, one of the founders of tl1e fraternity, succeeded in organ- izing four new chapters,-Beta, at the Albany College of Pharmacy, ciilllllllll, at the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York tColumbial, Delta, at the Rhode Island College of Pharmacy, Providenceg Epsilon, University of Buffalo, College of Pharmacyg Zeta, Ohio State University, College of Pharmacy, Columbus. The first national convention was held during the SLIIUIHCI' of 1922, at the Hotel McAlpin, New York City. Every chapter was represented, and a Supreme Council to govern all the chapters of the fraternity was appoi11ted. The conven- tion was a profitable one, as a successful future for the fraternity seems to be insured through the adjustment of conditions to make the organization a stronger working unit. The Rho Pi Phi Magazine was launched this year, and it has already begun to bring the different chapters to a closer acquaintance with each otl1er. Rho Pi Phi, through its policy of helping to produce clean, honest, and good pharma- cists, may gradually reach a position where it will rank with the best organiza- tions of its kind in the country. 1 O3
