Everything went smoothly and, besides the strain on rushees and rushers, it was a grand get-together for new and old students. I And speaking of Dink, it was she Who,was instigator of the big and little sister plan which was climaxed at a lovely banquet in Steward's Hall last Tuesday night. More than 300 girls were present, the largest number of Carolina girls we've ever seen assembled, at one time. Praise is due. Virginia Webb who was toastmistress. Chi Omegas have moved into their new home in the Hillcrest apartments on Green Street. Thursday afternoon they gave a party there for new pledges. Katherine. Knight, a transfer and Chi Omega from Florida State College for women has been t welcomed into the chapter here. Several girls, Mary Dixon, 1 Durrett Lipscomb and Catherine Hines were out of town for the week-end-probably trying to catch a breath between Rush Week and school opening. Zeta Tau Alpha entertained for their pledges at a banquet at -he Jefferson Hotel last Wednesday night. Frances Smith, the Zetas' capable president, made a toast to the sorority and was answered by Dink Gaines. Evalyn Woods toasted new pledges and response was made by Edith Gunter. Attractive place cards in the shape of pledge pins were used. Pi Beta Phi's are already getting thrilled over their formal which is to take place the night of November 4 at the Jefferson F1otel. So far as we know, this will be the first sorority formal of the season. Charlotte Burch has been appointed chairman of the dance committee. What with football games monopolizing all our Saturdays and trespassing on Fridays, the ideal night for a dance, it's getting harder and harder to find a suitable time. Pledges of Pi Beta Phi, in whose honor the formal will be, were honored with a luncheon at the Hotel Columbia fol lowing pledging last Monday. Initiation of Sadie Scott, Ann Scott, Elinor Brand, Clifton Strohecker, and Peggy Bailey will take place next Thursday. Martha Withers, president of the Coed Association-is to be eommended on the progressive step taken in publication of the new Coed Handbook. It's really a handy book for upper class men as well as freshmen. Sponsors for the Homecoming Game tomorrow have been selected by the Social Cabinet, and will ride in special cars to the stadium. They are Cornelia Yoder, Margaret Thompson, Betty Teague, Adelaide Taylor, Natalin Lifches, Catherine Webster, Martha Newman, Florence Sempson, June Webb, Helen Kronrad, Annie Lee Moore, Polly McKenzie, Linnie Lee. Grace Kilgore, Naomi Newsome, Sara Harrison, Marjorie Collins and Margaret Rollins. Social Cabinet, under the direction of John Dargan Rodgers, Sara Harrison, and Jack Page, is giving its second dance of the season tomorrow night in the University gymnasium. This will be a fitting end for the gala day. Sara Earrison, by the way, is the second girl in the University to be elected to the Social Cabinet. The first was Betty Wrenchell an A. D, Pi, who graduated two years ago. Delta Zetas have pledged Mary Frances Polk of Columbia in addition to the pledge group listed in another section of this| paper. The Delta Zetas' province director, Mrs. James Keezel 1 )f Winterpark, Florida, visited the local chapter followving Rush - Week. She was entertained with a luncheon while here. A { lance in honor of new pledges is being planned for next Satur-' :lay night, October 8. Tentative plans are for the dance to be at the Elk's Club. A. D. P1's are having a large, informal ,dance Monday night at Lake View for their new girls. Tomorrow, the local chapter will entertain for their Georgia chapter following the Home 30ming game with Georgia. Louise Efird, a neve pledge,, spent < bhe weekend at Davidson, and Eloise Oliver visited Leila Mayes n Fl'orence. June Webb spent the weekend in Charleston.t Sigma Kappas have announced their pledge officers for .the rear. Peggy Lollis was made president; Billie Lewis, vice- j )resident; Katherine Hawkins, secretary; and Juanita Causey, c shaplain. Chapter rooms of the sorority are located at 1806t Jreen Street this year. T1ri Delts have a good idea-pledges have been divided into I two.groups-upperclassmen and freshmen-and each group has a a separate set of officers. For the upperclassmen, president is ~ Betty Miller; vice-president, Elise McLain; secretary, Lydia a [,ee; treasurer, Mickey Bowman. The freshman are led by Blinor Finn, Kitty Bird, Sally McCaw and Carol Cole. To Con rerse College last weekend went Elise McLain, Anne McKay, gary Hull Kaminer, Gale Johnson, Lydia Lee, Mamie Thomas r mnd Jean Gibbes.
