Service - Miii ded A DP ' s M x Fnu, Good Deeds Nine new members, Janice Ahrens, Laura Faulkner, Geraldine Haines, Dale Nowotny, Sus- an Cooley, Adrian Simon, Marlene Simon, Sharon Fortune, and Karen Miller were initiated in the spring semester. Although the sorority was originated as a social club, its calendar now includes service projects. Following their annual Christmas party, the girls visited a needy family to give them food and clothing. Then in the spring, mothers were feted at the Mother-Daughter Tea where Mr. Gil- bert Bleau spoke on France. To conclude the schedule of rush parties, dances, and other projects, the oldest sorority on campus held a final May banquet. Also attracting rushees, besides the club qualities, were the sandwiches and treats at the refreshment table at the fall rush party.
