Mrs. D. R. McAdoo, Jetmore, Kan., was guest speaker for the con vention. Epsilon Sigma Alpha is a non academic, educational, cultural, social, and philanthropic sorori ty. The sorority sponsors nation al study programs on such top ics as self-expression, home dec oration and mental attitudes. Chapters may choose from the national material or organize their own educational program. Mrs. McAdoo reported that in 1941 there were 800 members throughout the country. Now there are nearly 40,000 in 42 states, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Holland, Japan and Mexico. Oregon has played no small part in the growth of the sorori ty since the state's first chapter was formed in 1940, it was said. From 1950 to 1956 chapters in Oregon have increased from 17 to 52. Last year Epsilon Sigma Al pha chapters contributed more than $800,000 in cash, plus in numerable hours of volunteer service and material gifts, to charitable projects, according to Mrs. McAdoo. The National project of the sorority is aid to handicapped children. In Ore gon this takes the form of help for Children's Hospital school in Eugene. Last year $4,435.00 was sent to the school. Many chapters also adopt local service projects in their own communities. Pendelton was chosen the state convention city for 1957 and the state council meeting will be in The Dalles in Septem ber.
