The kaleidoscope of colors seems sym­ bolic of the kaleidoscope of feelings many alumnae have for our Fraternity. To explain their various feelings, let's explore these thoughts: Imagine that seven years have past. You are an alumnae and president of a club near an outstanding active chapter. For several years the chapter requests cookies for their evaluation sessions which your group gladly donates; how­ ever, the chapter never pledges anyone from your area. After many such one­ sided years, the alumnae club decides that its efforts aren't appreciated and stops sending cookies and stops writing references.

In thinking about these situations, We're happy together, r.S-U.C.L.A. you understand the kaleidoscope of ~ ings that must exist within an alurrl organization?
