OA History Of Theta Sigma Phi W omens' Journalistic'Fraterniy In 1910, at he Kansas Uni versity, the first chapter of Theta Sigma Phi was form ed lor the main purpose of providing opportunity and Inspiration for women wish ing to make journalists their lite work. The chosen mem bers from the University were those who had distin guished themselves in tho field, and others who were interested in opening up a O'niian): Mollie C.ilmartin, Gertrude McGee;. Ethel Arnold and Clara Dodds. There are now twenty-five chapters of Theta Sigma Phi, the newest ono being California. All chapters are very active in all school affairs. They are doing big things, trying to estab lish a name tor the organization. Al though only six years old, the .pro fessional sorority is nationally known and it stands out through the splen did work accomplished by some of its members. Sivla women as Funny Hurst, Mrs. Humphrey Ward, Bes3 Strecter Aldrich and others are the ones to whom Theta Sigma Phi owes thanks for making it the high stand ard organization that it is. The aims of the Nebraska chapter, as well as all others, are: to create a better type of college journalism; to assist in a development of a college of journalism at the University of Ne braska; to provide help for the mem bers in the study and pursuit of their chosen profession and to extend such opportunity also, whenever possible to all other women students of journal ism; and last, to develop a spirit of friendship among women who are fol lowing simil.ir fields of work. Other chapters have done many fine things. The one in Chicago ha3 established a sorority house, where Theta Sigma Phis, either in collegt or in active work, may live. The house is a large home, beautifully dec orated and outfitted. Large rooms for social activities are reserved and libraries for study have been installed. It is the aim of many chapters to have houses elsewhere to promote en thusiastic co-operation. DELEGATES BACK Nebraska Representatives at Na tional Y. W. C. A.

In connection with the uniting of the industrial and student organiza tions, was discussed the success of the plan of interchanging members.

These are merely the regular meetings. Liter ary programs, social gatherings arid special lectures intervene witii the regular meetings. The chapter was represented University Skit Night, presenting a playlet, "The Rag Office in 1922." Some of the issues of Aw gwan were assisted by the sorority members. In 1918, "girls' year" in the University, Theta Sigma Phi pub lished a book, "The Whiskbroom," presenting all kinds of college life during a war year. The publication was very successful and the proceeds were used to send a delegate to the biennial convention of the Fraternity at Lawrence, .Kansas. It is hoped that the book maybe put out again in the near future with more success than before. The last convention was held at Madison, Wisconsin. The one to have been held this year was post poned until next spring. The active members of Theta Sig ma Phi at Nebraska are: Katherine Bienke, Margret Black, Mildred Doyle, Belle Farman, Lois Hartman, Nellie Lee Holt, Valora Hullinger, Dorothy Iluse, Nora Livingston, Carita Her zog, Gertrude Patterson, Florence Miller, Sue Stille, Mary Thomas, Jes sie Watson and Irma Wiltse. Jessie Watson is the president of the fra ternity. All of these women have dis tinguished themselves in journalistic work and are continuing to do so to a greater degree. Belonging to the chapter has' helped them find a way to make good use of their knowledge and has also helped Theta Sigma Phi.
