President's Message

thirty-eighth conA-ention is fast becoming a memory, but what a happy memory of friends made, of beautiful OURsurroundings, of delightful entertainment and of most helpful business meetings. I trust your convention delegates have given you full details of all of these. To me the most grati fying part of the meetings was the keen interest the active chap ter delegates took in the many discussions. When young girls ask to be allowed to give up their only free afternoon to a meet ing for the purpose of discussing scholarship and pledge train ing, then we older officers realize, more than ever, what a splendid strong group we have to work with. I am looking forward to two more happy years as yottr president and my sincere hope is that at the end of that time I may turn over to my successor a sorority in as good a condi tion as Gamma Phi finds herself today. This will be an easy task if each of you continues to do her part as you have in the past. The fact that I was re-elected is ample reward for the time I have given to the work. In taking care of the material affairs of our sisterhood let us not forget the ideals that our Founders set up for us in 1874. With best v^'ishes for the welfare of all Gamma Phis I am loyally Your president, Millicent L. Hoffman Thirty-eighth Convention Registration National Officers Official Delegates

After graduation from East Den ver High School, Louise Robinson en tered Denver University, was duly ini tiated into Gamma Phi Beta, and main tained an active interest from the time of her entrance into the chapter. As an alumna, she continued the interest and the activity, was president of the chapter, and has served from the very beginning of the camp upon the board of control. Much of the success of the camp has been due to her tireless ef forts. She, also, has been active on the Board of Directors of the Theta Lodge.

In 1927 she was Theta's delegate to the Mackinac convention; in rushing season she always shines as a most com petent and most persuasive rusher ; and her ability, push and efficiency have been proven by her management of the convention Crescent Moon.

To continue the discussion the group left convention hall and moved back to Gerry Benthey's room where they started to analyze the situation: "What do we think of the policy of penalizing the chapters that fall below the average of the university by taking away the chapter's social privileges for the year?" one asked.

The youthful resident manager of the Broadmoor, James Barker Smith, deserves a paragraph all to himself ; for, surely, no one more materially aided us in the full enjoyment of our five days at the hotel. His unfailing patience and tact ancl his sixth sense in regard to everything that added to our com fort and pleasure are appreciated by those who were in attendance.

George G. Roberts, Doorman at the Broadmoor

George G. Roberts, genial and atten tive doorman of the Broadmoor Hotel, welcomed and dismissed each member of the sorority; and one of the pleasant memories of the convention will be his never failing courtesy, his personal in terest, and his eagerness to serve. And what finer tribute to our organization than this voluntary statement? "After serving the public for the past thirty years in hotels and on railroads ;ill over the United States and serving as doorman at the Broadmoor for the past ten years, I've never handled a nicer convention than the Gamma Phi Beta from June 19 to June 24, 1934."

DAILY DOZEN FOR RUSHERS

Give the best of your personality to your task. Avoid knocking another sorority. Not only is such a proceeding ill-bred and apart from sorority etiquette, but it defeats its purpose. Make the rushee realize that sorority life at its best is a valuable and lasting part of college life. Manage your campaign in so detailed and methodical a fashion that there will be no slip in its presentation. Attempt to discover the freshman who is less spectacular than some of her mates, but who has the fine and stable qualities that will make a strong chapter member.

pledge yourself to be honorable in every action. Hold always before you the ideals of Gamma Phi Beta. Inform the freshman of college history, sorority tradition, and campus custom.

Be sane and safe in your procedure. Engage the enthusiasm and help of every alumna. Try to reflect in your rushing schedule the simplicity that is the essence of good breeding. Act with the dignity that should mark each member of the sorority.

Probably the modern fraternity is far from perfect. So was the fraternity of a century, a half-century, a quarter-century, a decade ago. Forms and fads and fancies change, but youth is fairly constant. Fraternity leaders are making a determined ef fort to keep abreast of the times, and to meet the extraneous conditions to which youth is subject. If one were to cast aside all organizations save those without fault, he should have none at all. The fraternity is serving its age, as it has continued to do since long before our time. Let it be our concern, therefore, not to seek for a substi tute, but to continue to improve it. Dial of Theta Upsilon ALPHA PSI OF GAMMA PHI BETA

Whether or not it was our recent national convention with its renewal of old friend ships and the formation of new ones or whether it was the vibrant realization that our chapters are now on the brink of that all-important business of choosing friends �for rushing is a business of just that�that caused me to stop and ponder over a tribute recently paid to a great man, 1 do not know. But of all that was said of him, of his many-sided life, his vast intellectual and business interests, his time devoted to civic enterprises, his wealth, his philanthropies, none held my interest as did this phrase�"a specialist in friendship" and in it I found cause for meditation. Such a tribute might, perchance, be open to all of us�if we would have it so and should each of us desire to develop the art of making friends and increasing our capacities for friendship. Everyone is afforded bountiful possibilities for friendship�friendship that revels not only in laughter and joy but that maintains through work and play alike. We are constantly contacting pecjple but many of us rarely stop and give any thought to the perfecting of our ability to make friends and to be�a friend. We speak of the perfection of organizations along various lines but how many individuals give any contemplation to the matter of perfecting their capacity for true friendships? art of So, as we go about this serious business of living, let us justly consider the that friendship, that we may, without ostentation and to some slight degree justify tribute�"a specialist in friendship."� The Lamp of Delta Zeta.

No one denies that "A house divided against itself cannot stand," but how many of us forget or disregard this? A clique is one of the surest and swiftest ways of dividing a house and developing a growing sense of discontent and unhappiness. A feeling of antagonism, perhaps unconscious at first, is bound to permeate and destroy the spirit and good-will of a house which is divided into factions at odds with each other.�Alpha Gamma Delta Quarterly.
