The council shall be expected to promote the common interests of all sororities on campus, to work with the University in maintaining standards, serve as a means of communication between sororities and University officials, and act in executive, legislative, and judicial capacities which seem necessary for the uniform practice and the benefit of sorority members. A designated member of the staff of the Office of Greek Affairs shall serve as adviser to this organization." Description: SOROSIS, the nation's first incorporated woman's club, was formed in New York City in 1868 by Jennie June Croly. Croly, a journalist, established the club after she was excluded from a New York Press Banquet for Charles Dickens on the basic of her sex. SOROSIS, a Greek word meaning an aggregation or union of many into one, grew rapidly with chapters forming in other states. Not only did its own membership grow, but the formation of SOROSIS prompted the establishment of numerous other women's clubs throughout the country. In addition, there is a very interesting page on the history of the Oberlin Sorosis Society at http://www.oberlin.edu/~EOG/Sorosis/sorosis.html. ********************************************************** BROWN, Mr. and Mrs. Warren E. 1103 North Topeka Avenue.
