HI UPSILON OMICRON is a national honorary fraternity. Its membership is chosen from women who are majoring in Home Economics. They must rank in the upper two-fifths of their class in at least three semesters of work, show qualities of leadership through participation in college activities, and be of good moral character.

     Last year the local organization of Phi Upsilon, composed of ten upper class girls, petitioned the national fraternity of Phi Upsilon Omicron for a chapter at the University of Nebraska. In November, 1925, Xi chapter was installed by the national president.

     Some of the Phi Upsilon Omicron girls are also members of Omicron Nu, the national honor Home Economics fraternity. Betty Bosserman, Edith Carse and Lois Jackman belong to both societies.

     Phi Upsilon Omicron strives to encourage friendship, promote moral and intellectual development of its members, and advance the science of Home Economics.

     The past year has been spent in laying a foundation for future growth. It is hoped that a scholarship fund can be established next year. A project is now under consideration to encourage interest in Home Economics among high school girls.

IGMA DELTA CHI, national journalistic fraternity, was founded at DePauw University seventeen years ago. It now has thirty-six active chapters, one of which is the Nebraska chapter, which was organized in 1915. The fraternity has fostered the monthly comic publication, Awgwan, has offered prizes for leading high school publications and has helped with other activities relating to the professional side of journalism.

     An exact statement of the purposes of the organization is: "Sigma Delta Chi was founded in order to associate college journalists of talent, truth, and energy, into a more intimately organized unit of good fellowship, and in order to assist members in acquiring the noblest principles of journalism, and to cooperate with them in this field; in order to advance the standards of the press by fostering a higher ethical code, thus increasing its value as an uplifting social agency."

     One of the prominent things done by the local chapter this year was the writing and producing of the prize-winning University Night skit. Plans for the future include a wider field of work in years to come, and a better relationship among students in journalism at Nebraska.
