1O)tRMINGHAM welcomes the dele lHN gates to the biennial convention of
 the Kappa Delta fraternity this week and bids them accept her most cor. dial welcome.
 A splendid 9personner is represented by the delegates of this fraternity and no finer coterie of young women has ever come to Birmingham than these bright, attractive college girls who with tremen- dous vigor and energy are maintaining a high standard of work and living, and through the medium of fraternal order are binding themselves together to "do their bit'' along the highest lines of spleli- did young wonlanhood.
 One of the members of the Kappa Delta Is writing of the fraternity's aims and X purposes has expressed it beautifully-a member beloved and honored by all her co-workers-Laura Walton Duncan-in the following words:
 Since it is natural for individuals to associate with others of like tastes or as- pirations or purposes, I believe that or ganization is necessary to attain the greatest results.
 Because the Kappa Delta sorority, as college organization. gathers within it's shrine students in their impressionable period, and holds before them the high est ideals of personal achievement and service
 Because the highest development of soul life is only possible as we associate and live with others. In this way we de velop those social virtues of recognition of the rights of others, elimination of self, and self control
 Because our sorority composed as it is of girls of like aspirations and purposes but of different personalities and capabiii- ties makes it possible to develop those virtues so essential to success in life Because as sisters. knowing the limita- tions of our associates, and remembering our failngs, we try to carry out that \ definition of lady: One who thinks \more of other peoples rights than her Npwn feelings, and of other peoples feel ihgs more than her own rights
 Because being limited in numbers, and Having definite aims and plans to attain and carry out, we can work more effec- lively to the advantage of the individual member, and the group as whole
 To the group of young women who are working to such ideals, to the Kappa Delta fraternity, Birmingham extends heartiest greetings
