Pen Feathers' BY JANE COX Canteening is getting habitual and class cutting chronic, and all greeks are murmuring final and solemn vows of blessed unity. Seven of the ten fraternities annexed neophytes Monday evening; the Kappa Sigs pledged their eleven a week ago Monday; the Phi Beta Delta's haven't reported; and the S. A. E's can't. * Phi Sigs have hailed three new pledges since the publishing of that list of new fall greeks. They are Frank Hedgepath, of Columbio; John Hazeton, Greeleyville; and Dowling Woodham, Bishopville. N. G. Broadway was their prize pledge last year. They selected a superlative too, from their active list: Lang Hogan. * At the end of their open season, Sigma Delta pledged eight girls. They are Bernice Gensberg, Doris Gottleib, Doris Lippman, Elza Meyers, Evelyn Schafer, Miriam Solomon, Tillie Stern, and Celia Zusman. And from these Doris Lippman was chosen president, Bernice Gensberg, vice presy; Evelyn Schafer, secretary; and Elza Meyers, treasurer. Henry Zimmerman, last of a long K A lineage, became a fraternity finalist Tuesday nite. And soon to trade cash for fraternity secrets will be a little flock of Pi Phi's and R. G. Scorboro and G. C. Kirby to Pi KA. 0 The girls of Kappa D, who run things in installments, are the only co-eds ritually started so far. They have second stage of pledging Tuesday evening for Virginia Bracy, Mary Louise Gadlock and Betty Wertz. On October 22 they'll get the third degree and their actual rights to active titles. And pledge dancing still swings out. The Pi Phi's Monday, Chi O's Thursday, and tonite, the Delta Delta Delta's. Soon the few girls who don't know the few boys who don't know them can smile happily at each other in the class rooms. There doesn't seem to be any certain place to have their flings this year in order to be socially correct. The Pi Phi's had theirs at Ridgewood Club, the Chi O's at Mrs. Sloan's, and the Tri Delta will be at the Jefferson Rathskellar. FILLER: 0 The Chi O's are making it a practice to serve themselves every other Monday evening in the sorority room, before the active meeting. They had their first feast this week, with rushees invited. 0 A somewhat similiar plan is the one which the DZ's are starting next Monday. They'll have a joint active-pledge Dutch supper up street, on the first Monday of every month. Mrs. W. R. Blackwell is president of the newly organized Pi Phi Mothers' Club which met for the second time Tuesday. And Mrs. B's little Margie holds the gavel this semester in the active chapter. (Mrs. B also looks just like Margiel) * And the Zeta Mama Club is having a picture show patiy Ghis Monday to be. Its title is "Crescent Hill Memorial Park," and it will be seen only by Zeta dotters. * The Sigma Nu's had a visitor, Lawrence D. Reedy, during the week. He put them through their paces Wednesday and was the ex cuse for partying Thursday evening at John Spigner's home. Mr. Reedy is the editor of the fraternity magazine and assistant to the general secretary. Still hounding rushees, Sigma Chi gave a hay-ride party Tuesday nite. * Prospects of a football game and homecoming celebration seem to be limiting the territory covered during the week-end. Suzanne WNil son, from up Winthrop wvay, not the ex-Carolinian, will be dowvn for the game and dance and also Tommy Ingram. But most of the traveling happened during the week-end. *PC for KD (all of which is not a presidential policy). Seven of them went up Wednesday for the first formal frat rushing of the sea son--Lil Boulware, Linda Copeland, Olivia Gillespie, Barbara Ballentine, Paulette West, Frances Simpson, the genial pledge prexy who furnished the home in Clinton, and Margaret Osbourne, whose car got'em there. * Harriet Williamson visited Wednesday afternoon and evening with he Winthrop girls while brother-in-law \vVardlaw drove up to see his nother in Rock Hill. Florence county sends more students to Carolina han any other county' in ther state (except Richland), but it also has nother sizable unit within the Blue Halls. 0 Betty Boineau, another of Camden's dark haired damsels, will be he only one missing from the campus this week end, according to all available reports. She's leaving tomorrow for Charlotte and the Clem on-N. C. State football game. (Any other absentees please ignore the verlooking, but you should have told someone you were going.) And a bundle of Carolina's best chrysanthemums to the heating lant, which came through during the cold blast of last week end. That raft hit harder in Sims than any that Congress could have concocted. THE CLAUDE E.
