Rho Delta Chi Girls Support Mission Home Although it has been in existence just over three years, the club has already established many traditions. A noteworthy custom of the organi- zation is its support of the Mission Home for Exceptional Children. Members of the club made a special visit to the Home at Christmastime to cheer the children with carols, toys, and cookies. Also, for the third consecutive year a sorority member has won the Miss Posture Contest spon- sored by the P.E. Majors Club. Connie Fielding was the winner this year.
