 The University of North Carolina 
 
 The University of North Carolina celebrates its 128 th annual Commencement in June of this 
 
 year. 
 
 To appreciate fully the significance of what to-day represents a University unsurpassed by any 
 other institution in the South—a University which is alert and responsive to present-day problems, 
 progressive in every sense of the term and at the same time measuring fully to the highest standards 
 of scholarly attainments—it must be remembered that its present greatness is the heritage of years of 
 growth. There is an atmosphere of dignity and beauty in the stately oaks, the mossy rock walls, and 
 the ivy-covered buildings which grace its campus. In spite of the vibrant, surging spirit of a thor¬ 
 oughly modern student body which numbers close to two thousand, of a faculty which includes recog¬ 
 nized leaders of distinctly new phases of activity in the realms of science, social service, the drama, 
 and many other branches of work, the University still commands reverence for its traditions of the 
 past. The same college bell which brought back to classes men who fought in the Civil War and 
 sounded the cry of victory in the great World War rings for the classes of to-day. The old Well, for 
 generations the center of campus life, echoes with memories of a long line of presidents, illustrious 
 alumni, and commencement processions, not to mention the innumerable list of cherished pranks en¬ 
 acted by former students in college organizations now extinct. 
 
 With the coming of June and the class reunions, the University opens its doors to those who 
 were a part of it in the past. Although the alumni who return at the call of their Alma Mater find 
 her developing with rapid strides into a bigger, finer, richer institution than that which they had 
 known, still they will feel preserved in her that same spirit of “Carolina” which has come down 
 through the ages.

 Buildings and Grounds 
 
 The University of North Carolina, located at Chapel Hill, in the central part of the state, is 
 famed for its natural beauty. Its campus contains fifty acres of land upon which are erected forty 
 buildings, properly equipped for university work. 
 
 An appropriation of a million five hundred thousand dollars by the Legislature of 1921 has made 
 it possible during the past two years to erect on the campus four new dormitories capable of housing 
 four hundred and eighty students, and large buildings for the School of Law and the departments of 
 history, social science and languages. The last meeting of the Legislature in January, 1923, secured 
 for the University one million six hundred and fifty thousand dollars which will enable it to carry out 
 its extensive building program for the next biennium. The plans for immediate construction include a 
 new Woman’s Building, a completely modern and especially equipped Chemistry Building, three new 
 dormitories, an addition to the Library, and appropriations for remodeling old buildings, and for in¬ 
 creasing athletic facilities. The old Law Building, a perfect example of Greek architecture, is to 
 be made over into a model theatre for the Carolina Plavmakers. 
 
 The new Woman’s Building, unlike the two dormitories provided for women at the present time, 
 is to be planned as an attractive home for the girls, located opposite the President’s Mansion. The 
 site chosen is an unusually beautiful one; the lot is spacious and contains numbers of large trees. 
 The architecture of the building is to be planned in accordance with the grounds. In addition to the 
 dining-hall and social rooms, there will in all probability be equipment for a gymnasium in the base¬ 
 ment of the building. 
 
 Bordering the campus the University owns five hundred acres of forest lands noted for their 
 beautiful walks. Situated at the entrance to the woods, and on the slope of a hill is the Forest 
 Theatre, used by the Playmakers for out-of-door performances. Further into the woods, but easily 
 accessible by automobile road and by foot-paths is the new Country Club. Golf links and tennis 
 courts adjoining the building itself are soon to be constructed. 
 
 Famous for its variety of botanical specimens is the Arboretum. This garden spot of the 
 campus was planned by Dr. W. C. Coker, head of the department of Botany. It is attractively laid 
 off in interlacing paths, and contains every kind of plant and tree that grows in the State of North 
 Carolina, as well as many others foreign to our soil.

 Beta Alpha Phi 
 
 The organization of Beta Alpha Phi was begun January 15, 1921. There were five charter 
 members who held weekly meetings for the purpose of furthering the interests of the fraternity and 
 of developing a more permanent organization. In February, 1922, its membership had grown to fif¬ 
 teen, and at this time the group rented and furnished a one-room house which has been its official 
 home ever since. Negotiations are now under way for buying a site on which the fraternity will 
 build a house as soon as it is financially able to do so. 
 
 From its beginning, Beta Alpha Phi has had but one goal in view—to obtain a charter of Pi 
 Beta Phi. Towards this end it has earnestly and conscientiously endeavored to maintain the highest 
 ideals.

 To the National Authorities of Pi Beta Phi: 
 
 I am happy to write a personal recommendation of Miss Catharine Boyd. I have known Miss 
 Boyd’s family for some years and have known her for two years. Her family is one of character 
 and refinement. Miss Catharine is worthy of this background, and has the universal respect of all 
 the students with whom she is acquainted, both men and women. It goes further than respect: she is 
 the sort of girl that one instinctively likes and desires to assist. In a day of changing standards she 
 avoids both extremes with success, and combines good comradeship with poise and self-respecting re¬ 
 finement. 
 
 It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to make a definite statement about one for whom the 
 writer has felt an unusual degree of admiration. 
 
 Cordially yours,

 To the National Officers of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity: 
 
 I understand that the local sorority Beta Alpha Phi has petitioned for a charter of Pi Beta Phi. 
 I am personally acquainted with most of the members of Beta Alpha Phi and I count it a privilege to 
 add a statement in support of the petition, for the local organization includes many of the leaders in 
 the activities of the campus. 
 
 Miss Lillie F. P. Cutlar, one of the petitioners, has been a student in the course leading to the 
 professional degree of B. S. in Chemistry, which degree will be conferred in June, 1923. Her aca¬ 
 demic work was of such a high order that she was awarded the Ledoux Fellowship in Chemistry for 
 the year 1922-’23. I regret exceedingly that she will not be able to take graduate work at the Univer¬ 
 sity. Besides having an excellent academic record, Miss Cutlar has taken an active interest in other 
 college affairs. She is a young lady of sterling character and is very popular with the whole com¬ 
 munity. 
 
 Very truly yours,

 tune to teach during my thirty years at the University. Last year she won a $250 prize in Philoso¬ 
 phy, open to about fifty students. 
 
 Personally and from the standpoint of character Miss Denham is outstanding, measuring fully 
 to our standards. It is a real pleasure to commend her. She does not disappoint.

 I have known Miss Venable since her early childhood. As a student of the University of North 
 Carolina she has taken several courses under me and I am familiar with much of her other work. 
 She is, in every respect, eminently qualified to participate in the founding of such an organization 
 here. She has unusual ability of which she makes fine use, she has great charm of manner and per¬ 
 sonality, and she is widely and very deservedly popular. Her membership in a fraternity chapter 
 will lend strength to it, and I should regard the fraternity fortunate in having her as one of its mem¬ 
 bers.

RECOMMENDATIONS 
 

 
 THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA 
 Chapel Hill 
 
 April 12, 1923. 
 
 To the National Authorities of Pi Beta Phi: 
 
 I understand that a group of women students at the University of North Carolina, which has 
 been for some time organized as a local society, is petitioning to be installed as a chapter of your 
 sorority. I want to give my most hearty and unreserved recommendation of its application. The 
 group of girls that make up the organization here is distinctly unusual, and has set a high standard 
 both in scholarship and in its general activities. 
 
 While the number of women students here is small it is on the other hand a picked group, con¬ 
 taining no freshmen and sophomores, except occasional ones of local residence. I believe that with 
 the standard set by these girls, as the original members of the group, there will be no difficulty in 
 maintaining here a chapter which will be in every way creditable to the national sorority. I should, 
 myself, from what I know of Pi Beta Phi welcome the chapter here, and I believe these girls and 
 their successors will maintain in every way the ideals for which it stands. I shall be glad to do any¬ 
 thing I can to forward the application which the group is making, and I endorse the petition with 
 genuine pleasure. 
 
 Very truly yours, 
 
 H. W. CHASE, 
 
 President.

 To the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity: 
 
 It gives me pleasure to commend to you the group of girls who now compose the local chapter. 
 Beta Alpha Phi, at the University of North Carolina, and who desire to become affiliated with the Pi 
 Beta Phi Fraternity. 
 
 On account of the small number of women students in this University, and the institution’s un¬ 
 settled policy concerning them, the Administration has been slow to grant permission for students to 
 petition national fraternities for membership. This fact is mentioned in order that I may state that 
 these girls, though eager to see their chosen fraternity the first on the campus, have shown a wonder¬ 
 ful spirit of cooperation and have taken no step without permission of the President of the University. 
 
 In scholarship, this group led all others with an average of 2.22. They are girls of sterling char¬ 
 acter and highest ideals. They are a valuable asset to this University and, I am sure, would be to 
 your fraternity.

 Pi Beta Phi Fraternity: 
 
 I am very glad to add my recommendation to the local fraternity, Beta Alpha Phi, for a charter 
 in your national fraternity. From the point of view of my office, I know of no more satisfactory 
 group of students than the members of Beta Alpha Phi. The standard of scholarship of this 
 group is very high. 
 
 Each of these young women is known to me personally, and I have no hesitation in recommend¬ 
 ing that they be recognized by your national fraternity and granted a charter. 
 
 Very respectfully,

 To the National Authorities of Pi Beta Phi: 
 
 I am informed that the local sorority. Beta Alpha Phi, is petitioning for admission to Pi Beta 
 Phi. It gives me genuine delight to urge upon your attention the granting of this petition. In the 
 first place, the petitioners are without exception girls of outstanding personality and character. What 
 is sometimes even more rare, they are girls of genuine unassuming refinement. They are the recog¬ 
 nized leaders of their fellow students. I am sure that you have already been informed of their out¬ 
 standing scholarship. I cannot conceive of a fraternity standard so high that this group would not be 
 considered worthy of admission if they were genuinely known and understood. 
 
 From my point of view as a member of the University administration, I am eager to see this pe¬ 
 tition granted because I believe that fraternities are educational assets. 
 
 It is my feeling from the point of view of the national organization that this institution will 
 offer a very fine type of girls in increasing numbers as the years bring increasing enrollment. The 
 quality of the work done here and the spirit of the place is such as to attract in general only those 
 young ladies who have a serious purpose and genuine ambition. 
 
 For these reasons I join the petitioning chapter in the hope that the sought relationship may be 
 consummated. 
 
 May I say in closing that this letter is not in any sense a perfunctory response to a student re¬ 
 quest, but represents genuine conviction on matters which have for some time been given serious 
 thought. 
 
 Cordially yours,

 To The Pi Beta Phi Sorority: 
 
 It is with real pleasure that I heartily recommend to your careful consideration the application 
 of the local Beta Alpha Phi, of the University of Noth Carolina, now making application for a chapter 
 of your national organization. The personnel, the high character, the class standing, the social 
 prominence and general worth of the young women who compose the local chapter of Beta Alpha 
 Phi, are not to be excelled anywhere, in any place or situation. 
 
 The University of North Carolina is the oldest of the State Universities; it was authorized in 
 1776 and organized in 1789. It to-day is the outstanding educational institution in the Southern 
 States, its alumni numbering over 16,000. Its number of students now is above two thousand and is 
 increasing each year. Among the alumni of the University of North Carolina are to be found the 
 names of a President of the United States, a Vice-President, nine members of the Cabinet, twelve 
 Ministers to other nations, thirty-two Governors of States, twenty United States Senators, over a 
 hundred members of the lower House of Congress, Chief Justices of the States of Tennessee, Geor¬ 
 gia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada and North Carolina, and Justices of the Supreme Courts 
 of Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland, New York, Virginia, Washington, 
 West Virginia and North Carolina. Bishops Green, of Mississippi, Polk, of Arkansas, and Lou¬ 
 isiana, Otey, of Missouri, Davis, of South Carolina, Hawkes, of Missouri, and Strange of North Car¬

 Fraternities were established at North Carolina, by the entrance of Delta Kappa Epsilon in 
 1851, since then the following fraternities have maintained chapters at the University: 
 
 Phi Gamma Delta 
 Theta Delta Chi 
 Chi Phi 
 Chi Psi 
 
 Phi Kappa Sigma

 Phi Beta Kappa placed its first southern chapter since the civil war at the University of North 
 Carolina. Phi Chi and Kappa Psi (medical), Alpha Chi Sigma (chemical Phi Delta Phi and Phi 
 Alpha Delta (law), Alpha Psi Delta, Phi Zeta Nu and Tau Kappa Alpha also maintain chapters 
 there. 
 
 The State of North Carolina appropriates the sum of $725,000 annually for maintenance; this 
 with other income amounting to $250,000 per year constitutes the University s operating capital. 
 The value of the University plant is in excess of six millions of dollars. Since 1917 the State of 
 North Carolina has appropriated nearly four millions of money for permanent improvements. 
 
 Women are admitted to the upper classes'and in the professional schools. There are close to 
 one hundred now in attendance, representing the best element of society and culture in our state, 
 and this number will increase from year to year.

 To The Pi Beta Phi Fraternity: 
 
 I am glad to add this endorsement to the application of Beta Alpha Phi Fraternity of the Uni¬ 
 versity of North Carolina to become a Chapter in your organization. 
 
 The standing of this University, and the peculiar organization of the state’s higher educational 
 institutions seem to me to make this a particularly choice field, although not a wide one, for the ex¬ 
 pansion of first class women’s fraternities. The University is destined to draw in the future the 
 choicest of the capable, high purposed women in the state who, of course, will constitute the member¬ 
 ship of the women’s fraternities that establish chapters here. 
 
 The young women who make up Beta Alpha Phi are of the first quality. I should consider 
 that your organization would be particularly fortunate in having this group introduce your organiza¬ 
 tion in what is destined to be a choice southern field. 
 
 Specific inquiries from you will be gladly answered. 
 
 Most respectfully yours,

 The National Authorities of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity: 
 
 The policy of the University of North Carolina in reference to women students is to permit only 
 a certain type there who have an earnest purpose of securing a real education. The rule is that women 
 students who have not had two years of college work are not admitted. The women students we 
 have there are above the usual standards in mental qualifications. 
 
 One of the women who are interested in the establishment of a Chapter of your Fraternity, has 
 sent me a list of the proposed members. At least one-half of the list are personally known to me, one 
 of them being a daughter of Dr. Francis P. Venable, for a long number of years President of the 
 University, and all of them are of high character and of the finest type of mind. 
 
 As one of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, I should be very glad indeed to see 
 a Fraternity established there of your Association.

 To the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity: 
 
 I take great pleasure in recommending the petition of the local fraternity, Beta Alpha Phi, for 
 a charter from Pi Beta Phi. I have known the petitioning young women in Beta Alpha Phi for some 
 time, both officially and socially, and can claim for them high scholastic standing, fine character, and 
 grace and charm of manner and appearance. Since it is certain that women’s fraternities are soon to 
 be represented in the University of North Carolina, I should like to see the early establishment of a 
 fraternity of the rank and standing of Pi Beta Phi, which I have had opportunity of observing in 
 several institutions with which I have been connected. 
 
 Very truly yours,

 May 23, 1923. 
 
 To the National Authorities of Pi Beta Phi: 
 
 Beta Alpha Phi, a group of women students in the University of North Carolina, with a strictly 
 local organization is, I understand, petitioning to enter Pi Beta Phi, a strong national organization. 
 
 It is with genuine satisfaction and with full knowledge that I bear unreserved testimony to the 
 high standing of the petitioning group, individually and collectively, in character, scholarship, and 
 social standing, and in the quality of forcefulness which has made them an important and represen¬ 
 tative element in the best life of a University rich in venerable tradition of the past and keenly 
 alive to the new spirit of the present day. 
 
 Three of the members of the group of longest standing in the University are Phi Beta Kappa’s 
 and others are certain to be chosen when the opportunity comes to them in due course. Some of them 
 are making enviable records in scholarship in science and other special departments of study. Some 
 are identified with important work of the University in extending its influence to those who are not 
 so fortunate as to be resident students here. Others have won high places in writing or in acting in 
 connection with the “Carolina Playmakers,” the dramatic school of the University. 
 
 On the social side, the group includes representatives of homes of the highest culture and re¬ 
 finement and of the old families of the country and the South—an extraction reflected in the social 
 charm and popularity of its members. 
 
 From the point of view of Pi Beta Phi, I believe a chapter at the University of North Carolina 
 would be a distinct asset. The University occupies a position among the very first institutions of the 
 South. The oldest of purely state universities in the United States, it looks back on more than a 
 century of honorable tradition and prized memories, uniting it vitally with all that is best in the past 
 of the state and country. Liberally and loyally supported by the State, it is advancing with fresh en¬ 
 thusiasm and tingling interest to the solution of present day problems which the younger generation 
 must meet. The University is more and more recognized as a center whence radiates the spirit 
 which must guide the future. In accordance with this spirit, it has thrown open its upper classes and 
 its professional and graduate schools to women, and is erecting a women’s building in response to the 
 needs of the hour. 
 
 No more fortunate time could be imagined for placing here a chapter of Pi Beta Phi, and ex¬ 
 tending the influence of the organization in the new light of a section intimately connected both with 
 the past and with the future.

 I desire to recommend to your favorable consideration the local fraternity which was established

 from you and it gives me great pleasure to urge that you grant it. 
 
 The young women composing the membership of this fraternity have an exceptional record in 
 scholarship here at the University, and without exception, so far as I know, are entirely eligible on 
 the score of character, popularity, family and social position to become members of a high-class and 
 exclusive fraternity. I believe I am acquainted with all but two of the girls, some of whom I have 
 taught, many of whom have been in and out of my home frequently, and the rest of whom I have known 
 either as attendants at the dances here or as members of the church which I attend. I am sure you 
 would make no mistake in granting them a charter and I very much hope that you will do so.

 GREETING: 
 
 We are informed that a local sorority, known as Beta Alpha Phi, has been requesting a char¬ 
 ter from you for some time, and we take this opportunity to communicate to you our esteem for its 
 members. They all have an unusually high scholastic standing, but in spite of this, are not, in any 
 respect, behind in other activities which go to complete a well-rounded college education. The so¬ 
 rority, as a whole, is one that would surely do credit to you as a chapter, and we assure you that it 
 would be a great pleasure to us to welcome a chapter of Pi Beta Phi at the University of North Caro¬

 To the National Officers of Pi Beta Phi: 
 
 The Upsilon Chapter of Zeta Psi takes pleasure in seconding the petition of the local, Beta 
 Alpha Phi, for a chapter of Pi Beta Phi. The Upsilon Chapter bases its recommendation both on the 
 local situation with regard to women’s fraternities and on the personnel of the local petitioning body. 
 
 Since a new woman’s building is to be erected at the University, the registration of women stu¬ 
 dents is expected to increase greatly. Considering this increase in numbers from which to choose the 
 members of the local chapter, and considering the fact that the first fraternities established at an insti¬ 
 tution always have an advantage over those established at a later date, the Upsilon Chapter believes 
 that the time is propitious for the establishment of national women’s fraternities at the University of 
 North Carolinat. 
 
 The personnel of the local chapter, Beta Alpha Phi, has a very high standing with University 
 authorities, leading all of the men’s fraternities in scholarship. The young ladies composing the local 
 petitioning group represent many of the best families in the state. 
 
 Considering the above facts the Upsilon Chapter of Zeta Psi takes pleasure in recommending 
 the local chapter.

 It is with the sincerest pleasure that we wish to recommend Beta Alpha Phi for a charter in Pi 
 Beta Phi. Nortli Carolina Beta feels itself honored through the acquaintance and friendship of its 
 members, and is certain that should a charter be granted them, that they will do utmost credit to Pi 
 Beta Phi, for they are in every way worthy of a charter. 
 
 Ever since its organization, the members of Beta Alpha Phi have held the lead in every phase 
 of college activity participated in by the women students of the University. In scholarship, in social 
 activities and in student offices they are the acknowledged leaders. Adequate provision for women 
 students has recently been made, and it is certain that Beta Alpha Phi will be able to maintain its 
 membership and leadership at the present high standard.

 Upon information that the local fraternity, Beta Alpha Phi, is petitioning Pi Beta Phi for a 
 charter, we wish to take this opportunity to express to you the high regard in which we hold the 
 members of this group. They are the recognized leaders among the women students in scholarship, 
 campus activities, and social life at the University of North Carolina. It is unusual to see a group 
 which stands so well in scholarship attain so remarkable a record for participation in outside affairs. 
 
 We know of no finer group of young women whom we could more heartily recommend to a na¬ 
 tional fraternity of high standards. We would heartily welcome the establishment here at the Uni¬ 
 versity of a chapter of Pi Beta Phi, made up of such young women as now constitute the membership 
 of Beta Alpha Phi.

 Beta Phi for a chapter to be located at the University of North Carolina. The members of the peti¬ 
 tioning group are known personally to the members of Gamma Omega chapter of Delta Tau Delta

 world in a fraternity of the national standing of Pi Beta Phi. We believe that this group complies 
 fully with all requirements of Pi Beta Phi and a chapter here would be a worthy addition to your na¬ 
 tional organization. 
 
 The University of North Carolina offers an exceptional field for sororities. The vast amount 
 of improvements provided for by the state includes an appropriation for the erection of a woman’s 
 dormitory. This is a recognition on the part of the authorities that the women of the student body 
 will be of constantly increasing importance. 
 
 We believe that your investigation will bear us out in our hearty recommendation of this group 
 and hope that you may see fit to grant them a charter.

 With a great deal of pleasure we commend to you the group of girls who compose the Beta

 a number of years. Some of them have been associated with us in campus work and have always 
 impressed us with the most sterling and refined qualities. In fact, in our opinion they compose a 
 group that would do honor to any order with whom they might become affiliated. 
 
 As it is the function of our organization to watch things develop here on the campus, we have 
 not failed to observe the growth of Beta Alpha Phi. At one time it appeared that the organization 
 had insuperable obstacles to fight against. But they have met these in a way which has caused admi¬ 
 ration to those who were interested in them. There is no doubt but that their becoming affiliated with 
 such an order as Pi Beta Phi would enable them to grow into a greater and more commendable or¬ 
 ganization; therefore, we shall be heartily glad to learn that you have delivered a charter of your fra¬ 
 ternity into their keeping.

 Mary (Mary Badger Wilson, of Washington, D. C., New York Beta) tells me that you have a 
 a group in Chapel Hill petitioning Pi Beta Phi, and she asks me to play supplement to her informa¬ 
 tion about them. I just have to read the list to know that I should advise any fraternitv to take 
 them. Their names are distinguished in North Carolina; distinguished in the past and in the present. 
 I should say that without a shadow of doubt, that group would lead any that could be formed in our 
 exceedingly good university. From the bottom of my heart, I envy you them! 
 
 Do you ever see Miss Keller? I worked with her once over a Goucher Panhellenic row, in 
 1912, I think, when I was Grand President of Kappa Alpha Theta. There were few people so able 
 and attractive in the fraternity world, I thought. 
 
 Well, good luck to the Chapel Hill girls and to you!

 It gives me pleasure to endorse the petition of Beta Alpha Phi for a charter of your fraternity. 
 
 As a member of this community for the past forty years I have watched the University grow into 
 the leading institution for higher education in the South. In point of service it is the oldest State 
 University in America, its charter dating from 1789. Together with Johns Hopkins and the Univer¬ 
 sity of Virginia, it has the distinction of being one of the three Southern institutions elected to mem¬ 
 bership in the Association of American Universities. The long and illustrious history of the Uni¬ 
 versity makes it a most desirable field for the establishment of fraternites. The tremendous building 
 program now under way, involving millions of dollars, assures expansion and greater development in 
 the future. One of the features of this program is a new building for women planned for immediate 
 erection. Although at the present time the women are outnumbered, there is every indication that 
 there is a great future for women here. 
 
 I should like to commend especially to you the young women who compose the membership of 
 the petitioning group. They are women of excellent character, attractive personality, and of the 
 highest social standing in the state. They come from representative families of the south. Your fra¬ 
 ternity cannot make a mistake to count among its chapters this group of women. Its standards and 
 ideals are outstanding, and I feel confident that with the promising outlook for women at the Univer¬ 
 sity in the future, there will be no difficulty in maintaining them. 
 
 With best wishes, I am, 
 
 Very sincerely yours,

 The National Authorities of Pi Beta Phi: 
 
 It gives me pleasure to state that I know ten of the young ladies who are in the group apply¬ 
 ing for membership in the Pi Beta Phi. They are in my opinion very superior young women, both 
 intellectually and personally. I think it would be difficult to find a finer group in any college. The 
 others whom I do not know personally are known to me and I am confident they are all the same 
 sort.

 To the National Fraternity of Pi Beta Phi: 
 
 It is a great pleasure to me to recommend for your consideration the petition of Beta Alpha 
 Phi of the University of North Carolina for a charter to your fraternity. 
 
 I have known personally all the members of Beta Alpha Phi since its organization here Jan¬ 
 uary 15, 1921. Personally attractive, keenly intellectual, accomplished in dramatics, music and 
 other arts, endowed with an unusual sense of fairness and justice, together with an unlimited capac¬ 
 ity for assuming responsibilities, these young women will be a credit to any organization, as they are 
 to this University and to this community. 
 
 Very sincerely yours,

 Dear Pi Phi’s: 
 
 We isolated Pi Phi’s desire very much to have a chapter of Pi Beta Phi in North Carolina, and 
 I, one of them, know of no college in the state that meets the requirements of Pi Phi as does the 
 University of North Carolina. 
 
 With the fine girls of Beta Alpha Phi initiated into Pi Beta Phi with its ideals and beauty, I 
 think a chapter there would have a most excellent field to work in and would wield a beautiful influ¬ 
 ence on campus life. 
 
 I have visited the University often and have known this petitioning group for a long time, and 
 I recommend them to the Committee on Extension.

 Dear Sisters in Pi Beta Phi: 
 
 It is with great pleasure that I recommend to you the girls of Beta Alpha Phi. 
 
 I have been closely associated with them for nearly three years. I know their families and their 
 associations. I know the girls personally, and affectionately. They are young women of character 
 who have stood the test and proved themselves worthy. 
 
 We should be proud of the fact that they have chosen us above all other fraternities to petition. 
 They are the type of girl whom we want to have wear the Arrow in the State of North Carolina. 
 
 Sincerely yours for Pi Beta Phi,

 Dear Pi Phis in Convention: 
 
 It is with a great deal of pleasure that I address to you this letter about the Beta Alpha Phi 
 girls of North Carolina. I had heard high reports of them before I came to North Carolina and I 
 must say that they lived up to and surpassed all that I had heard. They are an unusually fine group, 
 distinguished for their intellectual attainments, as well as for their good looks and social popularity. 
 I have talked with them a good deal and have seen how they work, and I know that their ideals are 
 such as will make them good Pi Phis. They will be a real credit to the fraternity and I have no 
 doubt of their ability to maintain their present standards. I am very anxious to greet them as sisters 
 in Pi Phi and so I recommend them to you most heartily. 
 
 Affectionately, 
 
 Yours in Pi Phi,

 I am very glad for this opportunity to recommend to the Grand Council and to the Convention 
 Delegates of Pi Beta Phi the group, Beta Alpha Phi, of the University of North Carolina. I consider 
 it a representative group of students, serious in purpose, with high ideals and standards that are 
 worthy in every way of Pi Beta Phi. They take an active part in the college life, being represented 
 in the Dramatic Club, Student Government Association, Student Publications, and all social activi¬ 
 ties. The University of North Carolina is one of the old established universities in the South and 
 has high academic standards. The women are full sharers in all privileges of the University and 
 have chosen to go to Chapel Hill rather than attend the College for Women at Greensboro which has 
 not the same academic standing, although it is the state supported institution for women. These 
 students therefore show a real desire for scholarship and academic standing of the best character 
 and are doing a very good grade of work. I recommend them most heartily for a chapter of Pi Beta 
 Phi. 
 
 Very sincerely yours,

 The Patronesses of Beta Alpha Phi would like to say that this group of girls has their unquali¬

 of manner and charm of personality as well as their intelligence and breadth of mind. 
 
 We are very anxious to see the establishment at the University of a National Woman’s Fraternity 
 such as Pi Beta Phi, and wish to take this opportunity to commend this particular group to your fra¬ 
 ternity. 
 
 Very sincerely yours,

 Dear Mrs. Lawrence: 
 
 As you know, I have been in touch, through Sophie Woodman, with the progress of the group 
 of girls at Chapel Hill who are planning to petition Pi Phi. It has been a very real happiness to 
 me to learn that affairs are shaping themselves toward the actual petition in the immediate future 
 and I hope with all my heart that this present year will see Carolina Alpha installed. 
 
 If you will pardon a brief personal reference, I would like to explain to you why I am so deeply 
 interested in the group which you are sponsoring. Although I have lived in Washington, D. C., the 
 greater part of my life, I am a North Carolinian by birth and separation from the state has only in¬ 
 tensified my love for it and for all its splendid traditions. The University is especially dear to my 
 heart because there has not been a generation since it was founded when some of my people were not 
 connected with it. The copy of the history of the University winch Dr. Battle sent my father is 
 very familiar to me and is filled with names which are very dear. I explain all this so that you may 
 understand how close Chapel Hill is to my heart. In that way I can make it clear to you that my 
 interest in the proposed chapter of Pi Beta Phi is a double one. Because I love the fraternity, I 
 want it to go into a University whose traditions are as finely American as those of any institution in 
 the country, whose scholastic standards are high, and whose associations enrich the lives of all its 
 graduates. But, also, because I love the University, I want to see the women who are now enjoying a 
 full share of its opportunities given the further opportunities and privileges which come from mem¬ 
 bership in our fraternity. 
 
 You will know, then, how proud I was to see the list of names (which Sophie showed me) of 
 the petitioning group. They were almost all well known to me, although I have lived so long away 
 from the state, because they are names which are bound up with the traditions of the state. And 
 from friends who knew the girls personally, I learned that the girls were just as fine as their names— 
 that they had charming personalities and were girls who did things. It seems to me an opportunity 
 that we cannot miss—to enter a great University with a splendid chapter like this. And of course, 
 you and I both know what an opportunity it is for the girls. That in entering upon fraternity life 
 they should choose Pi Phi is another proof of their good judgment and discrimination! 
 
 Will you let me wish you good luck and speedy success with the petition? There wll not be 
 anyone any happier than I when Carolina Alpha is installed. 
 
 Yours in Pi Beta Phi, 
 
 MARY BADGER WILSON, 
 
 New York Beta.

 Dear Pi Phis in Convention: 
 
 It has been my great joy to come to know each of the girls of Beta Alpha Phi during the past 
 two years, and there is not one among them whom I would hesitate for a moment to recommend to 
 my own chapter as Pi Phi material. 
 
 Through the most trying and exacting of circumstances, over which they had no control, they 
 have shown their true blue spirit and I consider a chapter here with these girls an opportunity for Pi 
 
 Beta Phi.

 Both individually and collectively we eighteen Pi Phis of the North Carolina Alumnae Club, 
 representing chapters from Ontario Alpha to Texas Alpha, and from Vermont Alpha to Oregon 
 Beta, endorse unreservedly the petition of Beta Alpha Phi. We feel especially the need of a chapter 
 in a state where we see such abundant material and inspiration for a happy chapter of Pi Beta Phi. 
 It would be a strategic link in the golden chain of our fraternity.

 Upon learning that a local chapter, Beta Alpha Phi, is petitioning your sorority, we hasten to add 
 our heartiest endorsement and commend it to your favorable consideration. 
 
 Beta Alpha Phi, the University’s first sorority, has enjoyed the unquestionable leadership and 
 highest esteem since its organization. Its membership represents our State’s leading families, as well 
 as the splendid type of college girl that North Carolina affords. 
 
 A chapta of Pi Beta Phi would receive a most cordial welcome at the University, where its high 
 qualities would be upheld and its permanency insured.

 The Pi Beta Phi Fraternity: 
 
 I commend the young women who compose Beta Alpha Phi of this University to you with equal 
 confidence and pleasure. It has been my good fortune to know them this year and some of them for 
 several years past. As I take it your order is holding its standards very high, not only as to the per¬ 
 sonnel of the prospective chapters but of the institutions involved. I have no doubt of the results of 
 your examinations of this University as a probable chapter home. I could say nothing higher for 
 the group composing Beta Alpha Phi than that they represent the University as it should be repre¬ 
 sented; always with honor to themselves and the institution. I should be very glad to welcome a chap¬ 
 ter of Pi Beta Phi here; I think your order and our institution have much for each other. 
 
 Cordially yours,

 Dear Pi Beta Phi Sisters: 
 
 In my opinion, the University of North Carolina is about the grandest place I know. Chapel 
 Hill is a typical University town with plenty of university pep and spirit. I have visited the Beta 
 Alpha Phi’s twice this year and fell very much in love with them. They certainly are fine, capable, 
 ambitious girls and I believe will make worthy Pi Phi’s in every respect. I would certainly be 
 proud to see each and every one of them wearing the arrow. 
 
 I wish I could be with you at convention, but I will be thinking of you. Wishing you every 
 success, I am, 
 
 Yours in the Wine and Blue, 
 
 AUGUSTA LAXTON,

 To the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity: 
 
 At the historic and beautiful University of North Carolina, there is a local group which I am most 
 pleased to recommend to the fraternity. The members of Beta Alpha Phi are girls who are depend¬ 
 able and intelligent, who are interested and interesting, who are innately refined. I heartily endorse 
 their petition for admittance into Pi Beta Phi, for I feel that a charter granted them would be worth¬ 
 ily upheld.

 It gives me great pleasure to recommend to Grand Council and National Convention of Pi Beta 
 Phi the petitioning group, Beta Alpha Phi, of the University of North Carolina. 
 
 I found the group composed of wholesome, all round college girls, characterized by enthusiasm 
 and seriousness of purpose, and imbued with the highest ideals and ambitions. It is a splendidly or¬ 
 ganized group, and possesses a better national attitude than any local I have had the opportunity to 
 observe. There is excellent harmony, congeniality and unity in the group. 
 
 Beta Alpha Phi was highly commended by the college authorities for its spirit of cooperation and 
 also for its earnest desire to become a real factor in the development and progress of co-education at 
 the University. 
 
 The scholastic standing of the group is very fine, in fact the girls excel in every way on the cam¬ 
 pus. They are well represented in all college activities and have gained unusual recognition in dra¬ 
 matics. Exceptional leadership is being furnished by Beta Alpha Phi, and several outstanding hon¬ 
 ors have been won by the girls. 
 
 I should be very happy to see each member W2aring an arrow. 
 
 Very sincerely yours,

THE CAROLINA PLAYMAKERS 
 
O^eXE 
 
 
 The Carolina Playmakers 
 
 The aim of the Carolina Playmakers is to build up a native drama in North Carolina, drawn 
 from the abundant store of tradition as well as from life of the present day. No section of the 
 United States affords a richer background for the making of folk-plays. 
 
 In the backlands of the North Carolina mountains and among the dunes of the lonely coast of 
 Hatteras may be found communities where the customs of the early English settlers still prevail, 
 where folk-tales and ballads still survive in words and expressions long since obsolete to us, handed 
 down by word of mouth from one generation to another through all their years of isolation. And in 
 North Carolina, too, we have the romance of an outlived past—the legends of the “Lost Colony” of 
 Sir Walter Raleigh; of the venturesome Croatan outlaws; tales of the intrepid pirate Blaekbeard; of 
 such indomitable pioneers as Daniel Boone and Flora MacDonald—side by side with the throbbing 
 new life of the present day. Here are still the fine old families of the first Cavaliers and the chil¬ 
 dren of the plantation days of the old South, and in contrast with them the dreary one-horse farm of 
 the poor white tenant. In greater contrast still is the toil of the thousands of workers in the roaring 
 mills. 
 
 In the comparatively short period of three years The Carolina Playmakers have translated this 
 many-sided life into new folk-plays, representing a wide range of materials and fresh dramatic 
 forms. These Carolina Folk-Plays are written in English 31, the University course in Dramatic 
 Composition. 
 
 The productions of The Carolina Plavmakersare all home-made. The stage equipment, lighting, 
 scenery, settings and costumes are designed and executed in Chapel Hill. A portable stage equip¬ 
 ment is provided for touring purposes. In May, 1920, The Playmakers made their first tour of the 
 State with a series of their own Folk-Plays, appearing in Greensboro, Charlotte, Durham, Raleigh, 
 Kinston, New Bern and Washington. Since that time they have toured the state regularly twice a 
 year, in the fall and in the spring, with complete success. 
 
 Besides producing original Folk-Plays, the policy of The Carolina Playmakers provides for the 
 presentation, from time to time, of plays representing various types and periods of dramatic litera¬ 
 ture. At least one Shakespearean play has been produced each year in the Forest Theater.
