TRI KAPPA CONVENTION ro be held this week Mns. M-Ilton Swearingen, president. and Miss Helen Haubold of this city will leave Friday for Indiana-! polls to serve as delegates to the Tri Kappa 24th Convention which will be held at Lincoln Hotel, Indianapolis, April 23 and 24- All bust-1 ness sessions will be held at the j hotel and the banquet and dance on : Friday evening will be held at the Columbia Club. Tri Kappa sorority was organized j t n February 22. 1901 by eight young ' 1 Rirls attending Mm. Mae Wright | Sewell's Classical School a l North j ■ Pennsylvania and Walnut Streets j n Indianapolis. Bervl Showers, now J Mrs. J. E. P. Holland, Bloomington, i Indiana, was the guiding spirit In ; this organization and through her j untiring efforts and interest the i sorority has grown and expanded j throughout the state of Indiana until there are now a hundred and two active chapter and nineteen associate chapters. Associated with Mrs. Holland in j the original group were Erma R»- i berye. now Mrs. Charles Great-! house of Indianapolis; Marguerite! Oowen, now Mrs. Russell Sullivan, | Indianapolis; Bertha Matthews, now Mrs. W. E. Showers, Bloomington; Lulu Baer, Wabash; Frances Roberts, now Mm. J. E. Gallagher. Dayton, Ohio; Mary Louise Sanders, now Mrs. Wilrner Wilson. Marion; and Gertrude Zumpke, now Mm. Estey Shoemaker, Daleville. Later three of these girls formed chapters in their home towns. Beryl Showers and Bertha Matthews organized Alpha chapter at Bloomington on April 8. 1901, and Erma Riberye organized Beta chapter at New Harmony. From this begin- 1 ning the sorority has grown steadily and rapidly, and has become one of the most important philanthropical organizations in the state. Tri Kappa today Is interested principally in charity, scholarship, and art. In the first field, which it j entered originally, the sorority has a long and creditable record. Thousands of dollars are expended annually by chapters and state organization for various charitable purposes. Some of its most distinguished work was done during the war, and its latest major effort was in providing relief to flood sufferers.. The sorority has also been particularly interested in assisting In many practical ways the Riley Memorial Hospital, and in 1923 contrihuted more than sl*o 000 to the hospital fund. In 1936 a very complete moving picture outfit, including special lens and a projector, was given to the hospital. Tri Kappa early became interest- j ed in giving assistance to girls in : obtaining higher education, and a scholarship fund has now been in 1 existence for a number of years. I During the past two years the state j I organization and the chapters have ! given and loaned nearly $40,000 tj aid about 400 students, and since 1908 this total lias reached $350,000. The sorority's purpose is to give help to ambitious and deserving girls who would otherwise be unable to obtain educational benefits j beyond those offered by the public j schools. in 1924 Tri Kappa, as an organ- j ization. became interested in promoting Indiana art. Nearly all chapters are now patrons of the Hoosier Salon Patrons’ Association, and Tri Kappa Day at the Hoosier Salon is one of the outstanding evcDts of the fortnight’s exhibition. The sorority also has a traveling art exploit in its own name, and to this exhibit pietures of merit are being added when possible. Other undertakings of a charitable or philanthropic nature also occupy much of the time aud attention of l the individual chapters, which are now established in every corner of the state. The local chapter is very active in such work. SISTERS OF RUTH CLASS ENTERTAIN WITH BANQUET The Sisters of Ruth class of the First Christian church entertained the Corinthian class at a banquet Monday evening in the church dining room. The tables were beautifully decorated. A color scheme of pink and white was used in the flowers, favors and place cards. Mrs. James Anderson gave the welcoming address with the response by Mns.
