Delta Sigma Epsilon

by - Louise Parker

In the beginning, in the six and tenth year of our Lord, certain members of a most noble organization, by name, the Shakespeare Club, were afflicted with a disease which did cause them to wander about with far-away looks in their eyes, to get in little groups and all talk at once. And it came to pass that many of the other seekers of knowledge did notice and did credit it to the fact that spring was in the air. But lo, the answer did come on the fourth day of the fourth month of that same year when word did come that these women were to be made a part of that national organization called Delta Sigma Epsilon. And great was the rejoicing as Delta Chapter was installed on the campus.

And it came to pass at the beginning of each year that they said to one another, "We needs must add more members to our group that our good deeds may wax strong. Let us look upon the girls who are likewise abiding in this land of knowledge. And all, with one consent, began to make suggestions. The first said. "Let us choose girls who are high in scholarship." Another said, "It needs must be that we have good owrkers among our fold; And still antoher said, "We need those whose influence is great and whose name is spoken with praise, whose grace and charm are unbounded." And they all agreed and proclaimed it good!

In the thirtieth year of our Lard, one of the group said, "Last night I had need to commune with a fellow school-mate, but knowing not where he did abide and not being able to make the call, it became apparent to me that we needs should have a directory of our felllow seekers of knowledge." This was greeted with much enthusiasm by the other members, and from that day hence, members of this Delta Sigma Epsilon sorority have compiled and published the Student Directory.

And lo! In the fall of the six and thritieth year of our Lord, the members did raise their voices, saying, "We needs should present a Chapel program for the enjoyment of our fellow abiders in this land of learning." And so, thinking these things, they did presnt a great play, "Prexy's Proxy," and the multitude did cry out in their hearts, "Heaven forgive them, for they know not what they do!" and with their lips, "How grand and wonderful is this thing which you have done."

And then approcached the day when all the world doth celebrate the Yuletide. And one member spake, saying, "Knoweth ye not that there are in our city many small children who have naught with which to celebrate?" Thus it came to pass that on the twentieth day of the twelfth month the sorority did give a party saying to all the under-privileged children, "Come ye, and make merry withus, for we are celebrating the birthday of the Lord." And they came and did make merry and were delighted with the presents which they did receive.

For one and twenty years hath this organization been on thsi campus. And lo! On the three and twentieth day of the eighth month of teh sixth and thirtieth year of our Lord did they receive full reward for their many years of labor. For on that day they were awarded with the "See Loving Cup" -- a cup awarded to the most efficient chapter in this our United States.

And now may the blessings that ever attend thenoble, good and true, follow and abide with us, each and all, now and forever. Amen.
