ana fraternity circles at w dSADuiA
have eliminated in two interesting an
nouncements made today. The first is
that the Sigma Delta Psi sorority Will
entertain the active members OF Kappa
(kansas university chapter or app
Alpha Theta who will be in town for
the Washburn-K. Z. football Saturday,
giving a tally-ho party at the game in
the afternoon and q luncheon and eve
ming entertainment at b Country club
in honor of the visiting sorority h
is interpreted by the wise to indicate
the establishment at OF a
new Theta chapter with the Sigma
Delta Psis as charter members. The
Sigma Delta Psi, like the other sorority
and the fraternities at Washburn, is a
local organization, started about four
years ago by a small set of prominent
Washburn girls. Kappa Alpha Theta
is one of the largest, strongest and
most important Greek letters ~sOrorities
in the United States with chapters in
most of the leading co-educational col
leges and universities Kappa chapter
at Kansas university is an influential
chapter in the national council and it
is supposed, will stand ponsO for the
Washburn sorority. The Thetas nave
also an alumni organization of consid-
cradle strength in Topeka which can
undoubtedly be depended upon to as
sist the Delta Psis in. their ambition to
be taken into a national sorority.
But the Delta Psissneed not depend
altogether upOQ DUilH IIOE
and any organization might be proud
to take them in. It is safe to say there
is not a sorority chapter in h cOun-
try which could make a better show
ing the way of ~cleverness, beauty.
charm and good breeding. Among the
active members are Miss Katharine
Kellam, Miss Clara Fleishman. Miss
Louise McNeal. Miss Marian Thomp-
son, Miss Clara Daniels, Miss Josephine
Keller, Miss Bessie Renwick. Miss Ma
bel Renwick, Miss Marguerite Mills,
Miss Daisy Monroe, Miss Madeline
