Greek Letter Day . . .
By Jeryme English, Society Editor
Playing an important role in the civic and philhar
monic work of the community are the 13 organized alum
nae associations of Greek letter sororities and today wa
have pictured the presidents cf the active alumnae clubs.
The groups range in membership from twenty to a hun
dred members, thus their activities combining to be of
wide influence in the city.
In the past few years the groups have grown to such
importance that it is hoped a City Panhellenic will be
formed in Salem this winter. Mrs. Carroll Roger Nelson,
panhellenic adviser at Willamette university, has sent
out invitations to the thirteen alumnae presidents and
four other representatives of groups not organized, to an
organization meeting on December 3 at Eaton nail on the
Willamette campus.
The alumnae groups all contribute locally to charity
and philanthropic work and send oversea parages.
Those affiliated with the naiional alumnae organization
assist with the national projects of the sorority. Many of
the Salem groups give financial aid to the local chapters
at the University of Oregon, Oregon State college and
Willamette university.
Among the worthy projects being carried on by the
national groups are: Alpha Chi Omega, cerebal palsy; Al
pha Gamma Delta, altruistic project, helping local pas
tics; Alpha Xi Delta, just completed rehabilitating the
Dutch village of Noordwyck and granting two scholar- .
ships in American universities to Noordwyck, students;;
Delta Gamma, all phases of the blind; Gamma Phi Beta,
camp for underprivileged children, fellowships and main
taining of an endowment fund; Kappa Alpha Theta, El
oise Buck Memorial fund; Kappa Derta, maintains a ward
in Crippled Children's hospital in Richmond, Va.; Pi Beta
Phi. Settlement School at Gatlinburg, Tenn., and sup
port of a Finnish child Locally the Delta Delta Delta has
the Chemawa Indian school as its project, planning to
equip the playroom.
