Ruth's life at the school had been a very active one; yet she had never thrust herself forward. Although she had been the originator of the most popular now the only sorority in the school, the Sweetbriars, she had refused to be its president for more than one term. All the older girls were "Sweetbriars" now.
I must ask you both to publicly apologize before your sorority for what happened this morning." Eunice Brice grew white and frightened, but Eugenia Frazer's face flamed angrily. "Indeed, Allison Cloud, I'll do nothing of the kind. What in the world did you suppose I had to do with what happened this morning?" "You had all to do with it. Miss Frazer, I happen to know all about the matter."
She had never encountered a girl of that species before, and more than ever she felt that her friendship would be worth cultivating. When she finally took her departure, there was no time for any further tour of inspection, but she ran into several rooms on the way back to her own to say, hastily: "Girls, do all you can to get that Kentucky quartette into our sorority!
"'And may I go with you, my pretty maid?" replied David, bowing low. "No boys allowed there, sir, she said." "That settles it," sighed David. "I suppose a sorority is about to come to the surface. Am I right, and will you take me along?" "Yes, we are going to initiate members into our new sorority, but you can't come, so you might as well be resigned to fate," retorted Grace.
There was a chorus of praise for Uncle Cliff, which must have made his ears ring to the point of deafness, even in far-off Texas. Amanda made a suggestion. "Let's go up-stairs in the clubroom and organize a Sorority. W. A. S. looks kind of Greeky in a monogram. We can have rings instead of pins for our insignia." The idea met with instant favor.
"Well, of all things!" Grace remarked softly to herself. "I think it's high time we organized a sorority for the purpose of aiding girls in distress." "You're a prompt person. Did you really decide to come?" were the cries that greeted her from the porch as she opened the Bright's gate. "Save your caustic comments," said Grace as she handed Jessica her hat. "I have a tale to tell."
Selah Adams, by virtue of the fact that during her college years she had belonged to a sorority with Greek letter coverings and many gruesome rites within, was the one person engaged in the suffrage campaign who recognized the advantage to be derived from secrecy in organizing the women for the struggle. She perceived the appeal that this would make to their pride and ambition.
She answered their questions without embarrassment, and seemed quietly pleased at their demonstrations. "You are the child of the sorority now, Mabel," said Miriam Nesbit, "and we are your adopted mothers. You will have your hands full trying to please all of us." "Stop teasing her," said Anne, "or she'll run away before she is fairly adopted."
Above all she was stung into a sort of speechless rage by her impotence to do anything to regain the decent minimum of personal dignity which she felt was stripped from her by this constant play of bald speculation about whether she would or would not be considered "good enough" to be invited into a sorority. If only something definite would happen!
Through the magnanimity of Grace Harlowe, Miriam and Julia were brought to a realization of their own faults, and in time became the faithful friends of both Anne and Grace. During "Grace Harlowe's Junior Year at High School" the famous sorority, the Phi Sigma Tau, was organized by the four chums for the purpose of looking after high school girls who stood in need of assistance.
