A year ago, when .Alpha Pi chapter was reestablished on West Virginia University campus, it was the dream of all of the newly initiated members to be able, one day in the very near future, to have a chapter house to call their own. Our house is no longer a dreamland future wish or hope, but an actual reality today. In September of this school year, twenty-two girls moved from three campus dormitories to a home of their own. Our house, a three story yellow and green frame, typical of the style fifty years ago, extends the university "fraternity row" by one block. One of the most outstanding features of our home is the large front porch and our porch swing. A Gamma Phi alumnas, whose husband courted her on the swing, bought it and re turned it to its original place on our front porch, for as long as we of Alpha Pi, occupy our present home. decorated bedrooms.

CRESCENT OF GAMMA PHI BETA / MAY � 1960 11 Elizabeth Fee Arnold Named NPC Housing Chairman There is always an exciting moment at the close of the biennial meeting of National Panhellenic Conference when appointments for the ensuing biennium are announced. It was deeply gratifying to those of us who know Elizabeth Arnold to hear her name read as the new National Panhellenic Housing Chairman. She will serve in that capacity until the close of the 1961 NPC biennial meeting. Her duties will be to work with college administrations in working out types or plans for housing when sororities are first established on a campus, to conduct meetings of National Panhellenic Delegates who wish to discuss housing on a particular campus, to implement all NPC Housing agreements, and to conduct a survey of Panhellenic housing at the request of the NPC Executive Committee. Elizabeth's keen intelligence and zest for new activities make her an ideal choice for this demanding assignment. Her experience as Grand President of Gamma Phi Beta gave her valuable knowledge of many college campuses, as well as personal contacts with administrative officers. She brings to this new assignment a thorough understanding of the many problems involved in housing collegiate chapters, plus her innate tactfulness in handling them. Gamma Phi Beta is exceedingly proud

of Elizabeth .Arnold ... as NPC Housing Chairman, and as our National Pan hellenic Delegate. Mrs. Gerald Arnold Elizabeth W.

Levy s of Memphis Offers a Fashionable Guide on What to Pack for Our Southland Convention

Climate-wise, the Mississippi Delta area may be termed "semi-tropical." Taking Biloxi as the typical example of Gulf Coast weather, we find summer temperatures range from a high

of 90 to a low of 74 ... with the area drawing approximately 1 1 inches of rain during the season. Needless to say, convention-goers will want to pack their

� Rooms are air-conditioned ... so a light shoulder wrap of some kind is necessary. To dress appropriately for the occasion is not only the basic rule of fashion, it is a matter of good taste. Delegates and visi tors to convention are therefore asked to follow these decrees for planned Gamma Phi Beta activities:

Classic apparel is appropriate for official meetings . . . cotton

dresses . . . skirts and blouses . . . tailored linens, for example. Shorts and bare sundresses are out.

Three banquets are scheduled . . . one requiring formality of dress. Party-pretty summer frocks or cocktail fashions will be right for the two other banquets. On our two informal evenings, colorful cottons and sun dresses may be worn. One final note: New Orleans is a cosmopolitan city and in general, the women dress as in any large eastern city. Resort

Pearl accessories and silver lame shoes compliment her banquet cos tume.

NEW ORLEANS IS A COSMOPOLITAN CITY . . . sunback dresses and resort attire would be out of place. So for the big day in the French Quarter, a sophisticated day costume is in order.

To say these are "changing times" is trite. To realize the change, come with me to the campus! Registrations have increased so greatly that they are now processed by IBM machines. It is no longer physically possible to canvass the new students and select the one-third who will be rushees, even on campuses where this is permitted. Rushees register two or three days before rush begins. They number 300 to 1,000 or more. Unless you have been a part of it, you cannot imagine the behind-the-scenes pandemonium in chapters that have not received unrequested recommendations. Open Houses ... and the rushees arrive, carefully labelled with name tags. (Remember the fun we used to have putting on name tags?) Have you ever tried to remember names you have never seen before when you have only the time it takes to say, "How do you do"? Widiout names and without unrequested recommendations, it is fantastic to imagine that party lists can be prepared on time. The Alumnae Recommendations Chairman barely has time to mail a request to you that you can return before rushing ends. Your little sisters in the chapters must pass over girls from your com

We are more than grateful to our chairman of Alpha Phi chapter's Advisory Committee, Joan Sispela Gordon (Denver) and her cooperative, con scientious and hard working committee members: Zane Powelson Bowers (Colorado College), Dorothy Robinson Roberts (Denver) and Dorothy Hulbert Wing (Colorado College), who deserve many bou quets of pink carnations for their contribution of loyalty and service this year to further better rela tions within the chapter, with alumnae, our house mother, on Colorado College campus and in our community, Mrs. Evelyn Cunningham, our housemother who came with us last September deserves much praise and credit for "a job well done"; her sincere inspir ing leadership has helped both college and alumnae members, and we are most fortunate in claiming her as "one of ours."

We so often take individual officer duties as a matter of fact, but let all of us pause just for a moment when we see them and thank them person ally for the many hours of service they have given to our chapters this past year; "take the arm out of that sling" and dial their numbers for a sisterly grateful chat. Since we are a small chapter we will probably have to depend upon reports from Convention in Mississippi next month. Santa Claus passed "this trip" by last December.

Gamma Phi Beta from the past has given A heritage that makes a fuller life. Gamma Phi Beta in the present bids Us strive for lasting values and ideals. Gamma Phi Beta in the days to come Will prove that fundamentals can endure. Therefore we shall embody in our lives The truths that make for finer womanhood.

Once more we pledge a loyalt-y that means Adherence to all true and noble things; A learning that enriches all our days With magic gold that is forever ours; A labor that each hour will glorify The simple, common task, the common cause; A love that will be strong and great enough To compass and to pity all the world.

cLoue, cJ^abor, cU-earnina, aLouauu � Lyur Creed

I will try this day to live a simple, sincere and serene life, repelling promptly every thought of discontent, anxiety, discouragement, impurity, self-seeking; cultivating cheer fulness, magnanimity, charity and the habit of holy silence; exercising economy in expenditure, generosity in giving, carefulness in conversation, diligence in ap pointed service, fidelity to every trust and a child-like faith in God.
