phone duty-i always enjoyed it. pledges did phone duty during the dinner hour, so they also got to open to door to various and sundry groups who wanted to make an announcement to the chapter during dinner. the dinner duty pledge could either eat earlier, or could have her meal in the downstairs phone room. each member had a cubbie in the phone room where she could receive her mail and notes/messages.

there were two phone lines for our house, and three phones-the phone in the phone room, a phone on the 2nd floor landing and one on the 3rd floor landing. luckily for the phone duty person, you merely buzzed upstairs and anyone would answer the buzz and either yell for the sister that she had a phone call or that she had a visitor downstairs. in house sisters rotated phone duty from 7 to 11 sunday thru thursday and the pledges rotated phone duty from 7 to 11 on friday and saturday nights. fun times.
