RUSHING SEASON W1·itten for The Crescent of Gamma Phi Beta at the re­ quest of the Gmnd Editor. Published in the Pan-Hellenic Number, October 1911. FROM THE VIEW POINT OF ANY SORORITY WOMAN ''Earth's noblest thing, a woman prefected,'' may be con­ sidered to express the foundation purpose of every sorority. Though given varied expression in our rituals and variously symbolized in our insignia, yet the effort of all sisterhoods is toward the same achievement- noble womanhood. And like­ wise, the girl we want is the same in each group. She must typify, actually or potentially, the social, · intellectual and spiritual qualities which blend in noble womanliness. The girl who possesses these qualities may present herself in two guises, the girl to whom we may give, and the girl from whom we may receive, help. And, similar again, is the love we bear our sorority, what­ ever her name or emblem- that love which is not only senti­ ment but involved principles, and upon that elevated ground every sorority member commands the fellowship of every other Greek woman. With these like phases in mind the evils of the present rushing system come vividly before us. We all recognize in that something which we call atmos­ phere, a force, subtle, pervasive and unconsciously influential. P eter, while warming his hands at the enemy's fire, was in­ fluenced by atmosphere, and denied his Lord ; so we, in the deceptive warmth of surface considerations, are wont to think of acquiring for our chapter, wealth, individual beauty or popularity, and an atmosphere of social recognition based upon these things. But when the name of our sorority be­ comes a synonym for college social position it is well to ex­ amine searchingly into the spiritual condition of the chapter. To these false estimates is added, in many places, the haste due to a short ru bing sea on, and the hamperings of Pan- 8 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE Hellenic agreements too often unwisely framed with a view to preventing freedom of intercourse between sorority girls and those whom they should wish to know well. Do we stop to ask ourselves what are the objects to be at­ tained in rushing~ Is it not as thorough an acquaintance as possible with the new student, her standards, her manner, her surroundings, and, providing she prove pleasing to us, the winning of her to our membership~ But should not this winning be based upon personality and congeniality, and not upon the lavish display and eyident expenditure given our rushing parties~ The tproposition calmly :considered-the girl who accepts our invitation to membership upon the basis of the cost and elaborateness of our functions is scarcely a girl calculated to maintain the high standards of our ideals or to manifest the type of womanhood which we so proudly claim for the members of our society; and yet, persistently, our expensive parties-not elaborate in the clever use of our wits, m\nd you, but in mere, ostentatious, competitive outlay of cash- contradict the spirit of our sisterhoods, and extend to the freshman the opportunity, nay importunity, to value us upon that very basis. And again, in the fear of losing a desirable girl, we stoop to infringements of the spirit of our Pan-Hellenic contracts, we condescend to slander or pick flaws in the fair fame of our sister societies, and we adopt measures incompatible with the tenor of the solemn vows we have taken to represent that honour which is finer than honesty, and that sisterhood which is universal in Christ. And after pledge-day, what then~ Shall we manifest that "thorough-bred spirit" which expresses respect, good-will, and which is congratulatory, to our sister sororities~ Shall we maintain an attitude of frjendliness toward the girl who was not elected, and who, on her side, may have feelings which were hurt, pride which was lacerated, and who, for all her non­ election, may be worthy of friendship: and social diversion? Splendid indeed are the rewards which accompany the NOBLE WOMANHOOD vs. RUSHING SEASON 9 fulfillment of sorority ideals. Dignity, poise, serenity, a life enriched, broadened and ennobled with the lessons and ex­ periences wrought into character by sympathetic friendships; all of these come in glorious fruitage to the sorority woman who lives close to her ideals.

Thinking back over two years, the recollection of our visit to Taal Volcano is not as clear in all its details as I might wish, but I will try to give you some idea of the novelty of the trip. It was the opening event of a two weeks' house party which we were holding at our provincial home. Friends from Manila had just arrived by boat, and at noon we started, a fine pro­ cession of eight carretelas and sixteen people. But I forget that you do not know the carretela. Imagine a framework for a cart, about four feet long and three feet wide with a bamboo floor, foot-high slats all around the sides, a rickety top on slender supports, a cane seat with a slat for a back- all this perched upon two wheels and drawn by two diminutive ponies is called a carretela. One writer has termed it the ''two-wheeled nightmare.'' There is no such thing as being comfortable in a carretela, but with this thought in mind, we reinforced ourselves with pillows and blankets for padding, for there are no springs on the "nightmare," and the pro­ vincial roads are rough. As we went clattering down the road we made a brave showing, and once outside the town, our caravan became a nine days' wonder for the natives along the way. A single passing carretela is an event in the "Bosques" and our party with so many American women was remarkable.

    Descendants of Elbridge G. Collins (1811 - 1875) & Mary Ann (Hanes) Collins (1825 - 1898) by Roger R. Connelly This report shows what I currently (28 Feb. 2011) know about the descendants of Elbridge G. Collins & Mary Ann (Hanes) Collins, my great-great grandparents. Elbridge was born in Portsmouth, Rhode Island in 1811 and settled in Clayton Co., Iowa in June, 1848, shortly after his marriage to Mary Ann Hanes in 1846. He died in Monona, Iowa in 1875 - I have been there and seen his gravestone. I believe he was the son of the Ebenezer Collins who was enumerated in the 1810 census of Portsmouth, Rhode Island (Elbridge's 2nd son was named Ebenezer), but that is not certain yet. I would be grateful for any information that you have that would make this genealogy more accurate and complete.
