These articles, reprinted from Washington, D.C. papers, give some idea of the fascinating work which Dorothy is doing and has been doing for several years. But there are other facts that Dorothy tells about which are interesting to those who may be contemplating theatrical work back stage instead of behind the foot lights.

The national organization is headed by a former Washingtonian who now resides in Philadelphia, Mrs. Alice Hersey Wick, daughter of the late Gen. Mark L. Hersey. Mrs. Wick, however, still considers Washington as her home and makes frequent visits to the local chap· ters. The national philanthropy of the sorority consists of social service to less fortunate inhabitants of the rock· bound coast of Maine. For many years the sorority's boat The Sunbeam has carried food, supplies, and spiritual cheer to these coast and island people. The late Henry Van Dyke, who took a personal interest in the work being done by Sigma Kappa there, wrote a poem as a tribute to the sorority. A full -time social worker is employed. This project is carried on as a permanent memorial to the pioneer women who braved the disapproval of public opinion nearly 70 years ago in order to obtain a higher education, and who founded Sigma Kappa while pursuing undergraduate work at Colby College. Last spring the George Washington chapter of Sigma Kappa won the silver cup which is offered each year by the Panhellenic Association composed of the 13 sororities at the university, to the chapter whose members have the highest record in scholarship. In addition to this honor of group performance, the chapter is proud of an individual member, Miss Margaret Graves, who won the award offered annually by the Phi Beta Phi Fraternity to the Mrs. J.

TO SIGMA KAPPA Sigma dear, our thoughts of you, Are not, of course, so very new, But our feelings never will grow cold, No, not even when we're very 9ld. We always think of you When some wrong thing we start to do, And of how you've kept us going straight, Why, with you it seems no more than fate. So our hearts will ever stay With none other than our Sigma K; And we'll try to be true blue Ever doing as you want us to.

While many parties had their settings in private homes, the Huntington Hotel in Pasadena and the Palas Verdes Hills have also played their part. A buffet supper was planned for September 3 at the chapter house. This was the first event to take place at the house for the coming semester. Rush week (the week preceding registration) opened on September 5 with the mothers and daughters tea. Barbara Williams and Pat Herbert started their summer off right by an extensive tour of the east.
