PAN-HELLENICS
ANNUL RULEON
HIGH SCHOOLS
Viewpoint Still Antagonistic
to SOr0ritieS Not
Academic.

Annulment of the Pan Hellenic ruling
that girls joining high school sOrOrites
could not be taken into membership in
national woman fraternities belonging to
the Pan Hellenic Association, which has
bcen enforced by the national body for
the last four years, followed a lively
discussion at the closed business ses-
sion Of the annual Pan Hellenic Congress
today in Parlor 3 of the ClaypOol Hotel.
The body stated that the an-Hellenic
has not changed its viewpoint on the
subject and that it still disparages the
high school sorority. In many cases the
sororities have masqueraded themselves
in various ways, their members being adj
mitted in colleges to National Greek let
ter organization, while those who ad-
mitted that they still were high cnoOl
frat members were barred.
IN considering the question it also
has been brought out that in many
States there are laws against sororitIes
and many high schools have banned
them. Indiana has such State law
and high school sorOrities which thrived
in profusiOn in previous years in the
local schools have faded Hnto obscurity
OF late. 1t is whispered in profound
secrecy that the groups are still in ex-
istence, that high school fraternalfsm is
i dead letter but not dead relationship.

cussion luncheon, which is open to all
