Donnybrook Fair 1942 - Goucher College

Way of Things
THE PANHELLENIC COUNCIL is the governing body of the interfraternity
association on campus. Composed of two representatives
from each of the seven local chapters, it exists to regulate the activities
and cooperation of the Greek letter women at Goucher.
The Council introduced itself to the freshman class by presenting
each student with a handbook of rules and statistics, a guide to the maze
of Greek orthodoxy confronting the prospective "rushees." Past experience
has proved the value of an impartial interpretation of fraternity life,
so the Council invited the new students to a tea in the G. C. C. room,
where a guest speaker answered the inevitable questions which arise in the
troubled minds of freshmen. During the trying two weeks of rivalry, "Panhell"
sponsored diplomatic inter-fraternity relations, until the newly
pledged girls of '4 5 were welcomed as members of the Goucher College
Panhellenic Association.
Following a precedent established several years before, the Association,
hoping to promote high scholarship, awarded a loving cup to the
freshman pledge attaining the highest average for the first college term.
This year "Pan-hell" was proud to present the award to Marjorie Foote,
Pi Beta Phi, who established a record with two A's and a B. Another
scholarship cup is awarded each term to the fraternity having the highest
average among the active members.
The Panhellenic Dance, held in the Maryland Casualty Ballroom,
on the evening of January 16th, was acknowledged a great success. Jean
Campbell, social chairman, and Kitty Gilbert, president, joined the Dean
and Dr. and Mrs. Winslow in the receiving line, while the Debonnairs
lent a colorful background to uniforms and orchids.
' The officers of the Panhellenic Council are Kathryn G. Gilbert,
president; Margaret Hitchcock, secretary; Winifred Leist, treasurer; Jean
Campbell, social chairman; Mary Isabel Randall, scholarship chairman,
