![]() The Phi Deltas didn ' t seem to have enough gaiety during the fall quarter, so early in January they had a theater party at the Lyceum. The last meeting before vacation the gals got together for a festive Christmas party at which they exchanged many a gift and everybody went home oh-so-very-happy about it all. The sixth annual Founder ' s Day banquet was held during the fall quarter at the Leamington Hotel and the pledges really did a colossal job of provid- ing the necessary entertainment. This great entertaining of the pledges did not last very long, however - much to their sorrow. ![]() It was a blue jean affair and the gals all carried little brown paper bags filled with things along the food line. After all of the rushing events were out of the way, the active members gave a picnic on the Mississippi River banks for their newly acquired pledges. text: “ Phi Delta The members of Phi Deha were kept plenty busy during the first part of the year what with a pro- longed series of rushing parties.
