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.
