Two of the groups of sorority girls
at Washburn are breathing sighs of
relief that this week is over for it has
! oeen week of work and hard times
fam1liarly known as HELP week. The
pledges OF the two sororities, Delta
Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta, have
| peen kept busy by the actives doing
all sorts of foolish things,
Ine Delta Gamma pledges were re-
| quired to carry little black notebooks
with them wherever they went and
each day all during the week they
| have told jokes. Each day a new
joke must be told and twelve people
must have laughed at the joke and
have written their signatures in the
/ little book before the pledge could go
| to bed. Cit is said that most of the
signatures were those of the mascu-
| line gender.) Other things required
/ of the girls were to go down the steps
| backwards, bowling twice on each one.
/ They washed windows and cleaned
silver, if they failed in any of these
things, or still more dreaded yet, they
We're compelled to clean up the yard.
Tho Theta pledges were required to
use powder very sparingly, no rouge
and to keep their hair up off of their
| ears. In addition all week they have
| addressed all the actives of the chap
ter as my lady" The girls also kept
| house, the money secured being used
to buy new cake tins for the house.
