The Satyrs, another senior-class society, was started by men of '94, and it ended with them. Of its ten members three be- longed to D. K. E., two to Sigma Phi, two to Zeta Psi, two to Psi Upsilon, and one to Alpha Delta Phi. The society was received with great disapprobation by one of the leading fraternities, and steps were taken to prevent further accessions to it from that source. Following is the roll of members:

CLASS SOCIETIES
Omicron Phi was a junior-class society, which was founded in 1889-90 for the purpose of uniting in social intercourse sixteen fraternity men of the junior class, and of giving an occasional german. Only two delegations were received into the order. Of the members Alpha Delta Phi had nine, Psi Upsilon seven, D. K. E. five, Sigma Phi five, Zeta Psi four, and Phi Kappa Psi three. A small monogram of 0 ¢ of gold was worn as a badge by the members, whose names follow:

Cord and Magnet .- This was a sophomore social club, which had for a badge a tiny horseshoe of gold encircled by a cord. The society had sixteen members in the class of '93, divided thus: Alpha Delta Phi five; D. K. E. and Psi Upsilon each four; Chi Psi, Beta Theta Pi, and Phi Kappa Psi one apiece.

Theta Nu Epsilon .- This sophomore fraternity was founded at Wesleyan University in 1870. A Beta Chapter was instituted at Syracuse in 1874, and a Gamma at Union in 1876. Many other branches have been established elsewhere, ONE but not a few of them have fallen through Faculty dis- pleasure. The chief manifestations of the society are elaborately absurd initiations, and midnight pranks of an exaggeratedly sophomoric type. Upsilon, the Mich- igan branch, was organized in 1892 under the auspices T.N.E. BADGE.

of students who had been initiated at other colleges. About twenty members were admitted from each college class, all the initiates being fraternity men, and D. K. E. having a large representation. Psi Upsilon refused to allow its members to join "T. N. E." Toward the close of 1894-95 the chapter became dormant, although it is said, four men were initiated in 1897. The names of the initiates, as far as can be ascertained, are these:

Gamma Kappa Epsilon, originally a freshman society, and afterwards a four-year affair, but always addicted to innocuous dia- bolism, was founded in 1876 by nine freshmen, Allen, Ambrose, Deacon, DuShane, Mitchell, Parker, Reynick, Thompson, and 'Webster. Its men were drawn quite evenly from Chi Psi, D. K. E., Sigma Phi, Zeta Psi, and Psi Upsilon. It seems to have passed away unlamented after the graduation of '83. Following is the list of members:

CHAPTER XIV
COLLEGIATE SISTERHOODS
Only a few days after the admission of women into the Uni- versity occurred the foundation, in an Indiana college, of Kappa Alpha Theta, the prototype of the Greek-letter sisterhoods. This was in January, 1870. Five years later some of the young women at Ann Arbor were asked to join in forming a chapter of the society mentioned; but they declined on the ground that a secret order would lead to dissention among the exponents of co-educa- tion. This argument lost its force as the number of female stu- dents increased; The Chronicle of November 23, 1878, men- tioned as in circulation a report that " the co-eds are to have a secret society after the manner of the boys"; and, toward the close of 1879, the Eta of Kappa Alpha Theta made its appearance. Thereupon The Chronicle of December 20, 1879, declared that "Since the advent of the new secret society the boys have only one remaining advantage over the co-eds, and that is the possession of the back seats in Psychology; but without doubt this last prero- gative will soon be wrested from them". The new movement was so quiet and unostentatious that it at first attracted little attention. Before long the stage of ridicule was reached. "It is reported", says one of the town papers of the time, "that on moonlight nights a large Maltese cat can be seen frolicking about in a certain sec- tion of the city. It is tailless, and has its fur so clipped as to leave in bold relief on its back the Greek letters K A O. Whence came the animal?" "Last Saturday evening", says a veracious college journal, "two new members were introduced into the mys- teries of the Kappa Alpha Theta. Pussy-wants-a-corner was one of the games ".
Despite ridicule, perhaps because of it, the original feminine sodality of Michigan grew and flourished. A rival, the Gamma Phi Beta, appeared in 1882; and another, Delta Gamma, was organized in 1885. In the latter year the Michigan members of Kappa Alpha Theta became dissatisfied with the fraternity at large, and, having surrendered their charter, they became in 1886 the collegiate branch of the New York Sorosis. In 1888 a fifth sister- hood, the Michigan Beta of Pi Beta Phi, was instituted in the Uni-
3º7
COLLEGIATE SISTERHOODS
versity. This was followed by Kappa Kappa Gamma in 1890, by Alpha Phi in 1892, and by Delta Delta Delta in 1894. In 1893 Kappa Alpha Theta was reestablished; and as all the others have lived uninterrupted lives there are now among the women of the academic department eight societies, seven of which are chapters of secret Greek-letter orders elsewhere founded. Sorosis is nomin- ally non-secret, and is strictly local. A description of each of the women's societies follows.
Kappa Alpha Theta .- This, the earliest Greek-letter society of women, was founded at Asbury (now DePauw) University, Jan- uary 27, 1870, by Bettie Locke (Hamilton), '71, Alice Allen (Brant), '71, Bettie Tipton (Lindsey), '71, and Jennie Fitch (Shaw), '73. It has had in all thirty-two chapters of which twenty-one are active, and are in the fol- lowing institutions: DePauw, Indiana, Wooster, Michigan, Cornell, Kansas, Vermont, Allegheny, Hanover, Nebraska, Northwestern, Minnesota, Syracuse, Wisconsin, California, Leland Stanford, Jr., Swarthmore, Ohio State, Illinois, Women's e College of Baltimore, and Brown. The eleven dormant branches were at Moore's Hill College, Butler, Illinois Wesleyan, Ohio, Simpson, Albion, BADGE OF KAPPA ALPHA THETA. Ohio Wesleyan, Wesleyan, Southern California, Toronto, and University of the Pacific. The total membership is somewhat more than 2,000 Black and gold are the colors, the pansy is the society flower, and a magazine called The Kappa Alpha Theta is issued quarterly. Eta Chapter, the pioneer of the feminine orders at Ann Arbor, was instituted December 10, 1879, with six charter members, Carrie C. Parrish, Alice Van- Hoosen, Jane Eyer, Charlotte L. Hall, Hattie M. Collier, and Laura Hills. In 1885-86 the undergraduates, with the co-opera- tion of certain alumni, gave up their charter, and the Eta remained dormant until, at the general convention of the society held at Chicago in July, 1893, nine Michigan students who had united for the purpose of reviving the chapter were initiated as charter- members. Miss Katharine E. Coman, '80, Professor of Political Economy in Wellesley College; Mrs. Minnie Clark Dennis, '87, wife of Professor Dennis of Cornell; and Mrs. Henry C. Adams, '88, of Ann Arbor, are among the members of the local chapter. Its "patronesses " are Mesdames M. L. H. Walker, J. H. Brews- ter, and Floyd R. Mechem. The chapter-house is 1008 Hill street.

It was favored from the outset by Chancellor Haven, who gave to the society its open motto. The chapters are: Alpha, Syracuse; Beta, Michi- gan; Gamma, Wisconsin; Delta, Boston; Epsi- lon, Northwestern; Zeta, Baltimore; Eta, Califor- nia; and Theta, Denver. There are about 550 BADGE OF GAMMA PHI BETA. members. Light-fawn and seal-brown are the colors, and the society flower is the carnation. Beta, the Michigan branch, instituted in 1882, is the oldest of the women's societies at Ann Arbor if continuous existence be consid- ered. The chapter house is 720 S. State street. Mrs. Isadore T. Scott, '84, wife of Professor F. N. Scott, is one of the alumni. The entire roll, which includes nineteen classes and 101 members, follows:

COLLEGIATE SISTERHOODS
Sorosis .- In June, 1886, former members of the Eta (Michi- gan) Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta, who had become dissatisfied with that intercollegiate sisterhood, accepted a charter from the New York Sorosis. Most of the alumni of '84 and '85 joined the undergraduates in their movement. Unembarrassed by branches in other and perhaps undesirable institutions, the Collegiate Sorosis (as it is called to distinguish it from its parent) is very flourishing. In 1896 an incor- poration under the name of "The Sorosis Club of Michigan " was effected, and a building-site in Washte- naw avenue was purchased for $2,000. Yellow and BADGE OF SOROSIS. white are the society colors. The emblem is the pine-
apple. Mrs. Jennie June Croly is an honorary member, and Mrs. James B. Angell, Mrs. George S. Morris, Mrs. P. R. B. de Pont, and Mrs. Victor C. Vaughan are associate members. The wives of Professors Pattengill, Patterson, Worcester, and Freer, were members during their college lives, as also was the wife of Presi- dent Henry Wade Rogers of Northwestern University. There are in all 120 members, as follow:
