mi Bella Bella PHI DELTA DELTA, a legal fraternity for women, was founded at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles on November 11, 1911, its purpose being the promotion of a higher standard of professional ethics and culture among women in law schools and in the legal profession. Although the founders were aware that “sorority” was the term commonly applied to Greek letter societies for women, it was thought that “fraternity” more aptly expressed the idea of the larger professional sisterhood which Phi Delta was destined to be. Over twenty-two chapters have been installed in various universities and law schools in the United States. Hecently a charter was granted to a group of women students in British Columbia, Canada, thus making the fraternity not only a national, but an international organization. Some members of Phi Delta Delta holding prominent positions at the present time are: Mabel Walker Wille-brandl. Assistant Attorney General of the United States and National President of the fraternity; Ann Agnes O’Neill, Assistant Solicitor of the State Department, Washington, D. C.; Lou-Ida Martin, Assistant Attorney General of Kansas; Edwina Falkner, Assistant Attorney General of Alabama; Hon. Mary O’Toole, Judge of Municipal Court of Washington, I). C.; Hon. Edith M. Atkinson, Judge of Juvenile Court, Dade County, Florida, and Hon. Georgia P. Bullock, one of the founders and Police Court Judge of Los Angeles. Tau Chapter was installed at Temple University on May .‘1, 1921, the charter members being Elizabeth B. Cole, Adda M. Lutz Ferguson, Mary E. Grisel, Gladys E. Hobart and Mary Rose Magee. Miss Henrietta L. Wiekev, formerly a member of Omicron at Dickinson College, is now affiliated with Tau chapter.

CfogelerS Society HE Chiselers Society was organized in the fall of 1922. The men were attracted to each other in scholarship and good fellowship. At its inception it had no name and continued so until the senior year, when Dean Chapman inspired them with the name they adopted. The Dean spoke of a famous member of the Bar who chiseled his way to recognition on the Bench. The suggestion to accept this name was immediately carried.
