It's kinda hard to select what would be interesting to other people and what wouldn't be. There's a whole page (P.47) devoted to Mothers' Clubs:

"Most active chapters are fortunate enough to have an 'auxiliary' organization knowns as a 'Mothers' Club'. This is a social unit in which the mothers or guardians of the sorority members and pledges enjoy association. These Mothers' Clubs assist in maintaining a suitable background of social standards for the active chapter, offer sympathetic understanding of collegiate problems, and assist in a material as well as cultural way in the betterment of active chapters through supposrt of the various national projects, such as scholarship and fellowship funds. They also engage in local philanthropy and chapter house projects, often joining with the Alumnae in the latter's choice of a project.

Wishing Song

If wishing wells were at my command
And magic lanterns in each hand
I would not do as it is told
And like King Midas wish for gold.
Nor like Aladdin would I dare
To wish for castles in the air,
For there are things that are more dear
To wish for.

I'd wish for a life that is full of fun,
For laughs and joys where everyone
Can look into the heart of each
And find the love that friendships teach.
One wish would cover all for I
Would wish to be an A D Pi -
For just this thing I hold so dear
I'd wish for."

As I typed this, I was thinking that, in 1947, an active would have been born around 1925-1929, and most of their mothers probably didn't go to college. So, a Mothers' Club would have been most important, especially where the Alumnae Associations were not available. Any other thoughts?
