Dukes, Steele PAN HELLENIC COUNCIL President Mary Liz Humphreys Secretary Ellen Peters Treasurer Minor Steele With the establishment of the three National Sororities, the National Panhellenic Council was formed in 193iS. The ohject of the council is the maintenance of a high place of sorority life and inter-sorority relationship, to co-operate with college authorities in their effort to maintain high social and scholastic standards throughout the whole college. The council accomplishes this through forums on the discussion of sorority problems. The council sponsors a tea at the beginning of the year to intro- duce the freshmen to the sorority girls and three forums are held to acquaint the freshmen with the sororities. They sponsor an inter-sorority dance, which is one of the big social events of the year. Most particularly, the council governs rushing on the campus. They have made regulations which cover next year s rush period and they formulate certain policies which are carried out by the three sororities.
