This is the first of the series of articles by the Daily Kansan to acquaint the campus with the various organized houses, their members, officers, and history.
Sixty candles decorated Alpha Chi Omega's birthday cake last week, when members of this national sorority celebrated Founder's day. Established at DePauw university on Oct. 15, 1885, Alpha Chi was the sixth women's fraternity to be organized.
Today there are 66 active chapters on college campuses throughout the United States.
Phi chapter at the University of Kansas was established in 1914, by a group of women locally known as the Alpha sorority. After living in several houses, the group purchased its present chapter house at 1246 Oread in 1921. This house, which
had been the Sigma Nu house, was enlarged and remodeled in 1926, and a new wing was added a few years later.
Seven women were the founders of this group at the time when the star of co-education was rising high and the need of sororities as a means of solving college women's social problems was no longer questioned. James Hamilton Howe, dean of the school of music at DePawu, and James G. Campbell of Beta Theta Pi assisted these women in organizing this group to develop social activities and to promote scholarship.
The group's badge is the lyre; its flower, the red carnation. Scarlet and olive green are the sorority colors. The national magazine is called the Lyre and was first issued in 1894.
Barbara Sherrard is president of Phi chapter. Other chapter officers are:
Lorraine Teeter, vice-president;
Elizabeth Ball, treasurer; Beverly
Water, recording secretary; Barbara
Johnson, corresponding secretary;
Sara Lee Drais, rush captain;
Eleanor Brown, house manager; and
Sue Hamel, social chairman.
