AN OPEN LETTER TO THE WOMEN AT PC Women of PC be recognized! Wake up! Stand up for what you know is right!

You hear a lot of talk on campus these days about the FRIARS CLUB. Some students' are for it, others are against it. So be it. We are not entering into that controversy. We want to draw your attention to another group. A group of men. An exclusive group of men. A group that discriminates. They won't allow women to join! Who are they? They are the men of Friar Council Knights of Columbus.

Who do they think they are? Or better, who are they? What do they do? What's so great about the "KofC"? The KofC — specifically Friar Council KofC — is a group of men who are practising Cath­ olic men. They number — on campus — about 160. They hold 4 blood drives a year that helps save lives. They are dedicated to the pro-life movement that speaks out on the sacredness of human life. They march once a year in D.C. to prove their point. They have a program go­ ing at PC to assist the elderly in the neighborhood around PC. They have a visitation pro­ gram going at the VA hospital. They Serve the campus Masses at PC. They hold an annual Easter egg hunt for the youngsters in the neighborhood. They participate in a State wide Tootsie Roll drive to help the retarded. They donate a lot of money to charities. They have a lot of Fraternal activities for the members of the council: outings, trips, socials and an annual Fraternity Night Award social. They are probably doing more than any other single group on campus. Yet they don't receive a penny from Student Congress. And they don't want to. That's why they can discriminate. Their revenue is from members' dues and various fund raising projects such as the Halloween tunnels. Their principles are Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. They are a Catholic group that take their faith seriously. And lastly, they are the only Fraternity at PC. WOMEN OF PC WAKE UP! Unite! Join the only Sorority at PC! Join a group of women who can do everything that the KofC is doing — except we can do better. Join the DofI at PC: St. Catherine of Siena Circle DofI. St. Catherine of Siena Circle DofI (Daughters of Isabella) was founded at PC in 1982. We began as a group of women at PC who were known previously as "The Ladies Auxiliary to Friar Council KofC". History repeats itself. The first Circle of the DofI began as a "Ladies Auxiliary" to a KofC Council in New Haven in 1897. WE PROTESTED. We got tired of doing "women's work": putting on their make-up for the Halloween Tunnels, fixing their trays of food for their fraternal socials to which we could not be invited. So we decided to form a SEPARATE BUT EQUAL O RGANIZATION. We found one that already existed founded on the same principles as the KofC: The DofI. The DofI are founded on the principles of Charity, Unity, Sorority and Patriotism. It has its own secret ceremonials of initiation too. The DofI is the women's answer to the KofC. St. Catherine of Siena Circle DofI is a history maker. It is the FIRST College Circle of the DofI. (The KofC have about 60 college Councils in America). WOMEN OF PC WAKE UP! We admit that the KofC is a great organization — for men. But we have the potential to be far greater. But we need members. We need women — practising Catholic women who take their faith seriously. Women willing to join other women at PC dedicated to CHARITY, UNITY AND SORORITY. The eyes of two nations are watching the women of PC. More than 1,300 Circles of the DofI in the United States and Canada are watching the fate and future of St. Catherine of Siena Circle — the FIRST COLLEGE CIRCLE in the DofI's History. Why the name "Daughters of Isabella"? We are under the patronage of Queen Isabella I of Spain — the woman responsible for Columbus' success! Had it not been for Isabella, Columbus more likely than not would have died on the docks in Spain. The KofC is firmly established in the "new world" — the world financed by Isabella. We think it's high time that we took our rightful place in "the new world" as a group of dedicated Catholic women: the DofI. Want to know more about us? Our goals? Plans? Attend St. 'Catherine of Siena Circle DofI "Candidate's Night" on Monday, November 28 at 7:00 p.m. in the Colonel's Corner. Refreshments will be served. It will be a brief but very informative meeting. It could be the most important meeting you ever attended at PC.
