For the New York World's Fair Beekman Tower (Panhellenic House) Is Fraternity Headquartell."s

Hundreds of New York fraternity women will welcome visiting Panhellen.ic members and their friends in the Club Rooms of the New York City Panhellenic, Inc., at the Beekman Tower hotel, 3 Mitchell Place, where they will serve tea to visitors every afternoon for the duration of the Fair. Each of the twenty-three national fraternity alumnre groups in the city, as member un.its of the Fra­ ternity Women's Committee for the New York World's Fair, will be responsible for one week and will supply the hostesses during that time. Members of each group will also assist at the college and university center in the Hall of Special Events at the World's Fair, where the Fraternity Committee is sharing the space delegated to the New York Branch of the American Association of Un.iversity Women for the reception of college women from all parts of the country. Practically all of the women's colleges and universities in the United States will be represented by hostesses at this center. As an added service to visiting fraternity women, the New York Committee is preparing a booklet which will serve as a directory of fraternity wom­ en's achievements in New York. Many of these business and professional women are co-operating with the Fraternity Women's Committee so that visitors may be received and conducted through the offices of the organization with which they are connected. The New York Telephone Com­ pany, for example, has agreed to permit fratern.ity visitors to inspect its facilities .

28 SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE How to Help in Rushing

RECOMMENDATIONS should be sent immediately to college or alumnre rush chairmen. Prompt action will insure summer con­ tacts, and ample time for fall invitations. Summer rushing and calls by college and alumnre Sigma Kappas are very desirable whenever not in conflict with local rush rules. Send communications to rush chairmen or advisors known to you, or to the nearest member of the International Rush Committee, or simply address Sigma Kappa Rush Chairman at the chapter address given in the TRIANGLE.

Follow the outline in sending your recommendations, using this sheet, file cards, or w1·iting a letter.
