Sororities are an accepted thing on the Penn State campus now, but how they began is an integral part of the • women's 75th .anni versary story. It was a gradual development starting with the formation of small social clubs in 1922. The first step was to petition the Stu dent Welfare. Committee for ap proval. The understanding at that time was that the matter of "going national." should not even be considered until the spring of 1924. Nita-Nee First Club The first local - club established was Nita-Nee, now Kappa Alpha Theta, in January 1922. Soon four others •followed—Sychor (Kappa nappz. Gamma) in September 1922, La Camaraderie (D elt a Gamma) in November 1922, Areta (Alpha Omicron Pi) in. Decem ber 1922, and Alfost (Chi Oniega) in January 1923. Alter the original group was organized, rules were adopted for rushing and pledging addi tional members. The sororities banded tdgether in the Campus Clubs Council, the forerunner of Panhellenic. 'One of the early rules was that a year's residence was required before bidding. The Dean of Women and others felt that freshmen women had an advan_ tage living together as one large group for, a year without any fraternity distinction.. Bidding System - Modified . The present system of having bids go through the Dean .of Women's office is a modification of an older system. Dean Ohar lotte E. Ray, in a letter to the 113 DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Wonder Why No Cuts; Subject or Prof Reports from the pre-law majors have it that not all the lush specimens of femininity are limited to the student body. Upon investigation, the subject of this rumor was found to be Dr. Elain e Windrich, blue-eyed, early twenty_ish political science pro fessor. • Miss Windrich, who came to the College from the University of. California, claims she is still suffering from our ice box weather. When asked to comment on the comparative beauty of the two campuses, the Californian flashed a post card picture of her alma mater's floral-(bedecked Stu dent Union. Spring Rain "Of course," she continued, "I've never seen Penn State in the Spring. Does it rain much here?" The question remains ig nored. An expert tennis player, Miss Windrich won the University of California singles, championship when 2. freshman in 1938, and captured the California tennis club doubles cup in 1940. Serious Students Concerning' the student body, Dr. Win dri c h said, "They're arr.'azingly industrious, and there seems to be a minimum of cut ting." (—and U. of C. doesn't have a Corner Room either.) Incidentally, that Ph.D. degree was acquired in only two years' work without even a pause for a master's. Miss Windrich con fesses, however, that it -.took 16 hours a day of slave labor. Dean of Women at Colorado Col lege in. 1930, said:. "After albout a week of rush ing in September, each ,fraternity submits to a disinterested person (in our case one of the student pastors, Mr. Carruthers) a list of the girls whom it wishes to bid. "Mr. Carruthers then notifies each girl thus bidden that she has been bidden to a 'fraternity. He encloses , a °sheet giving the names o'f,the nine clubs and' fra ternities and asks the girl to number this in the order of her preference.
