the Lansing orchestra furnished
delightful music.
It was after midnight when tho
final toast was given to Nebraska
Alpha of Phi Kappa Psi.
Tho newly initiatod announced
tho chapter by giving their yell
at tho houses of tho various other
fraternities. The fact of tho com
ing initiation had been kept very
quiet, and tho first intimation tho
other fraternities had of it was
tho Phi Psi yell outsido their
windows. The following gives an
idoa of tho yell as noarly as words
can do it.
Hi! Hi! Hi!
Phi Kappa Psi!
Livoovor! Dio novor!

The" chaptor consists of tho fol
lowing members: Frank Brown,
Percy A. Powers, Herbert L
Kimball, Josso P. Rowo, Rudol

J, W, Morrow.

In spite of numorous applica
tions tho fact that this is tho first
ohartor gran tod in fivo years shows
tho consorvativo policy of tho fra
tornity. Chapters of Phi Psi aro

leges. Among tho moro promi

Michigan univorsity, Boloit col

On Wodnosday ovoning of last
wook tho Delta Tau Delta fratorn

at their club houso in honor of
Phi Kappa Psi. As tho now fra
tornity appeared only Saturday
tho reception was necessarily ar
ranged on short notico, but to
all appoaranccs ovory dotail had
boon carefully considered.
Tho apparently civilized look
of tho houso was a surprise to
many of tho girls who imagined
a boy's fraternity houso o sort of
don. Carnation and smilax, hya
cinths and palms woro in profu
sion in ovory room, and tho offoct
was vory protty. In one room
under tho fratornity colors was a
prettily decorated table where
punch and wafors woro served,
Misses Lottridgo and Gerrard
presiding.
During the reception hours
about 200 guests paid their re
spects to tho young hosts. Tho
rooms were conviontly arranged
for dancing and after tho recep
tion a few frionds woro asked to
remain to an informal party.
The following fraternities were
represented; Pi Beta Phi, Pi
Delta, Phi Delta Thota, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, Phi Kappa Psi,
