President - - Jacqueline Bai.da Secretary KATHLEEN Pliu.i.ll 3 Treasurer - Gladys Roc km li.lkk Rushing Chairman - Lois Sanders Early in the year a group of unaffiliated girls met to form an organization for the independent women on campus. Out of that first meeting grew slowly, the pian for a new sorority. Realizing that the odds were against them, the girls worked long and hard to make their organization strong enough to stand up against the strong competition of the other four, well established sororities. Finally, after a long period of planning with the administration, they were granted a three year probation period by the Inter- sorority Council of March 25, 1945. and chose the name Pi Tau Pi. Then began some more hours of work, under the guidance of the newly elected officers and with the help of two very able advisory members. Mrs. Wm. J. Peterman and Miss Jean Douglas, pledged their sup- port to the sorority immediately after it was formed. The group planned their ritual, wrote a constitution and had many meetings discussing colors, mottoes, pledge pins and sorority pins. Already. Pi Tau Pi has started to function as an active group on campus. During the third quarter rushing period, five new girls were pledged and initiated into the group. Plans for fall rushing, pledging, hell week activities and other sorority activities are being drawn up now. The girls of Pi Tau Pi still have a hard road ahead of them . . . they’ve just begun! The sucess of the few activities that have been carried out point the way to future years of promise for Ripon’s new sorority. 22

Bartlett President - - Doris Ai.fokd Vice President - PAT IIEI..VNDEK Vtcre(ary-trensurer - Alice SCMliCK f'SG.I Represent. - June Nickels For the first time in many years, it was the Bartlett group of freshmen that was the smaller. But these Bartlett girls were not to be overshadowed by the larger group up the hill. Inspired with the traditions found within the wails of the time-honored hall, this energetic group of Bartlett frosh soon had the halls ringing with the sound of their good times. But it wasn't only fun that kept them busy. Their frosh year is filled with the memories of hours spent in play practice for the Mask and Wig. or typing up in the Days office, till the wee hours working on the Greenhorn issue. They were active in Ver-Adest. WAA. the women’s hockey team; they helped make high school seniors feel at home during Friendship Week-end. Bartlett was also well represented on the honor roll. On “Frolics Night.’ the Bart- lett girls walked oft with top honors, in their skit about rhe Merri-men. When it came to sports, the sorority girls realized they were up against a good team after a few minutes of play agetinst these energetic gals. Bartlett elections were held during second quarter under the new system of the Wo- men's Self Governing Association—to ena- ble the girls to become better acquainted before making their choice of leaders. Their four new officers were presented to the rest of the school at a Sunday afternoon tea in the student lounge by the president of WSGA. The Bartlett girls may pat themselves or. the back for a successful year. They prid- ed themselves on their loyalty to their house and to each other. Their great spirit is a great asset to the campus. The Harriett frosh give out with tln-ir well-known smiles. Here are Florence Sick. Doris Alford, Anne Blaedon, Nikki’’ Nickels, Fatty” Bridges, l.oretta Oquist, Eleanor Mealy, Marge Smith, Norma Weiss and Eleanor Schuck.
