body.
At nine thirty the chapter with

been held in the parlor Of the, hote
before that. The dining room was
handsomely decorated in college and
fraternity colors and the lights were
shaded in the bluff and red. The

the state who have accepted election

The Delta Chi Is among the young
fraternities in the University. 1t
confines itself to the law department
and draws its members from the var
ious fraternities of the institution.
Its growth into popularity has been
rapid and we'll deserved. Nationally
the fraternity numbers fifteen active
and two alumni chapters while petit.
tions have been received from seyera
larger institutions and the chances
are that expansion will be as rapid as
circumstances warrant.
