RUTH MCCOY T PAN I-IELLENIC The Pan Hellenic council consists of two members from each sorority who act as group representatives, determine rushing rules, and make decisions on all inter-sorority problems. The council meets at least once a month and attempts to create a more unified feeling among the various groups by giving each representative a chance to give her ideas and those of the group she is representing. More girls than ever before entered Washburn in the fall of '43 and Pan Hellenic worked hard to make rushing go smoothly. Because of the war and the changed school schedule, the council found it necessary to relax rushing rules. Pledging was delayed' until early November and open rushing was permitted for the six weeks previous to that time, so that all girls would have an equal opportunity to be rushed. The quota of Alpha, Virginia Alexander, Social Chairman, and active girls allowed in each chapter was raised jane Gorman, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Maurita from 40 to 45. This change enabled a larger num- Reed, Delta Gamma. ber of girls going through rush week to be pledged. Officers of Pan Hellenic are selected by a rota- tion system, and Ruth McCoy, Delta Gamma, is serving as president this year. Other representa- tives and their offices are: Marjorie Titus, Treas- Mrs. Paul Hansen, Counsellor of Women, serves as faculty adviser, and alumnae advisers from each sorority are: Jean Mcliachron, Delta Gammag Marion Pratt, Zeta Tau Alpha, Mrs. Ward Martin, urer, and Joan Stolpe, Alpha Phi, Mary Grace KaPPa A1Pha Theta? and MYS- Chesnel' F10Yd, Burkhardt, Secretary, and Olga Oifen, Zeta Tau Alpha Phi.
