Pi CpAilcn The Pi Epsilon sorority was hostess a: the first of the formal rush teas held in the fall last year. The Fremont Country Club was the scene of their tea which followed an old-fashioned theme. This was further carried out in the invitations and flowers presented to the rushees. This sorority received the greatest num- ber of pledges—nineteen. These pledges spent their informal initiation performing such antics as lapfrog on downtown streets. The evening was climaxed with a chili sup- per in the home of Marjorie Lang. Pi Eps were proud of their showing in the Homecoming parade. Their float, a covered wagon drawn by horses driven by the girls, took second place honors. Formal initiation ceremonies took place at Petrow's Cafe and was preceded by their formal dinner. The sorority joined the Phi Omegas at the Midland Gymnasium for their formal dance following their initiatory activities. The exchange of gifts was a main feature at a Christmas party held in December in the Student Union. January curtailed activi- ties for the sorority because of vacations and semester exams. Social life was again resumed in February when the sorority and their guests went to the theater for a mov- ing picture. The Pi Eps were among the first to enjoy the spring at its best with a cabin party in April. The first half of the evening was spent in entertaining their guests informally at dancing and games. The all-sorority spring formal in May was an event eagerly awaited by the Pi Eps, who had charge of decorations. These fol- lowed a May theme and featured a large pastel May basket in the middle of the dance floor. Officers this year were Gloria Anderson, president; Marjorie Lang, vice-president; Jeanette Hobel, secretary; and Betty Lutzel- man, treasurer. Mrs. John S. Anderson spon- sored the sorority.

Phi Omega First affair of the year for members of the Phi Omega sorority was the annual rush tea which was again held at Western Theo- logical Seminary, ft centerpiece of yellow and white flowers, and candles and silver on polished mahogany, provided the table setting for this event. Guests were also con- ducted on a tour of the seminary. Fourteen painted girls with most bizarre costumes conga'd uptown in October as a part of their informal initiation ceremonies. The hungry girls returned to the Student Union for supper served by the old mem- bers. Formals were next donned by old and new members alike in November as the sorority met at the Pathfinder Hotel for their formal dinner and initiation rites, fit this time Shirley Liudahl passed the candy an- nouncing her engagement to Wes LaMun- von. Midland graduate of 1947. A dance featuring colorful fall flowers was held with the Pi Eps in the Gymnasium later in the evening. Phi Omegas spent a December evening in the Student Union entertaining their guests at an informal party. Cards, ping pong and dancing were among the sources of entertainment. One new member was added to the sorority roster in February. Also during this month, the traditional come-as-you-are party v as held in the Student Union at which members blossomed out in pajamas, shorts and pincurls. In April the Fremont Y.M.C.A. was the scene of an informal sorority party. Later in the month, a sorority shower was held in Beegle Hall to honor the former Frances Giffin whose marriage to Howard Mickel took place on Easter Sunday. Spring colors of yellow and green decorated the serving trays. Pride of the Phi Omegas was their new official garb of white sweaters with small yellow chenille Greek emblems.
