By ANN VICARY A date which often goes unmen- tioned in the annals of sorority his- tory on this campus is April 15, 1891,1 the date on which Kappa KappaI Gamma extended an invitation to six, other fraternities to meet in Boston to discuss methods for bettering fra- ternity conditions. The need for interfraternity con- tact had long been felt, but the first move was made toward organization when seven, Alpha Phi, Delta Delta Delta, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi, met in Boston, Common Problems Justify Move The fact that most of the problems met by women's fraternities were common to all, and that, still more significantly, the fraternities were Hear Address By Dean Lloyd Social Conduct Is Theme Of Talk To Freshmen More than 400 freshmen women heard Dean Alice C. Lloyd's address on "Campus Conduct" yesterday in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre of the League. The lecture was given as . part of the 1938 Orientation piogram for women. In introducing her subject, Miss Lloyd explained that she wished to give her audience "helpful suggestions and advice" on social conduct. Dis- cussing the question that is upper- most in most freshmen's minds at this particular time, Miss Lloyd admon- ished her audience not to take sor- orities and rushing too seriously. She explained that experience in college can be fine whether in a sorority or not, and warned the freshmen that rushing is artificial. On the subject of drinking and smoking, Miss Lloyd explained that the University does not dictate as to these practices except to forbid smok- ing in Univeristy buildings, especially the library. However, she urged the audience to refrain from either prac- tice. Studies Are All-Important "Studies," Miss Lloyd pointed out to the freshmen women, "are the foundation of all that you do. Observe quiet hours in dormitories, league houses and sororities," she advised. Education should mean a broaden- ing of the intellect, Miss Lloyd de- clared. An attempt to understand the people with whom one associates, and the use of the educational facilities here will be an aid to that broaden- ing process. "Convention can be overdone," said Miss Lloyd, as she stated that she considered friendliness and natural- ness the basis of social poise. Announce Engagement The engagement of Ruth Hamilton Shaw to Charles H. Parrish of Owens- boro, Ky., was announced at a party this week by the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Johnson Shaw of Detroit. Miss Shaw attended Miss Newman's and Knox School in Coop- erstown, N. Y. Mr. Parrish attended the University. founded on the same ideals and with the same purposes, seemed justifica- tion for the move. Though the first attempts were not successfula similar meeting was called in 1902 in Chicago, with the result that "The Intersorority Conference," a forerunner of the present Panhellen- ic Association, was formed. The high standards of the Conference were to be enforced as a matter of ethical agreement, and it was hoped that the organization would promote a feeling I of mutual respect and amity between the fraternities, thereby facilitating the working out of their common pro- blems. * Annual Meetings Are Planned The plan of the Conference Was that a meeting would be held annu- ally, at the invitation of each of the fraternities in rotation, and composed of one delegate from each. Later this Conference ordered the formation of a Panhellenic Association in every university in which two or more na- tional fraternities were represented. The Michigan Panhellenic Associa- tion was formed on the initiative of Gamma Phi Beta. Many Houses Join Fraternities entered in the follow- ing order: Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Gamma, Collegiate Sorosis, Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Xi Delta, Kappa Delta, Zeta Tau Alpha, Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Phi Sigma Sigma, Alpha Gamma Delta, and Alpha Delta Pi. In 1926 Dean Alice Lloyd became the adviser. Prior to that time offices in the Asrociation had been held in rotation according to the order of each fraternity establishment on I - HAVE YOUSEEN THE NEW = ONA i Surprisingly complete-yet weighs only 8 lbs. 15 oz. with case.
