Sorority has busy year Pi Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi has been enjoying a fun and productive sorority year since its opening day in August. One of the highlights of the year was the donation of books to the Pink Lady Hospital and Auxiliary Resale Shop. Janice Petrie, a member of the chapter and also of the auxiliary, had informed her sorority sisters of the great demand for used books ai' the shop, and they were gratefully received. Reportedly, they have been a popular item with the shop's customers. In September, a road rally was enjoyed by members and their guests;, in October, Pi Alpha hosted Crystal Lake Chapter Xi Iota Omicron for a delightful evening at the theater, where they took in a musical; and several members began the Christmas shopping season with a shopping spree in November. In early December, Debi Bronars hosted the chapter's Christmas party, where cookies were exchanged and the biggest event of the year took place - revealing of the past year's secret sisters as the presents were opened. On Dec. 20, the chapter hosted sister chapter Xi Kappa Iota for the annual combined Christmas party, at the home of Kathi Etten. Handmade corsages and Christmas ornaments were presented to each member of Xi Kappa Iota. Both had been the subject of Craft oriented programs, and sharing memories of their creation was almost as much fun as presenting the gifts. Pi Alpha is looking forward to continuing the year in the same spirit of fun and friendship enjoyed thus far.

THE BIRTHSTONE OF JANUARY Garnet crystals reminded early scientists of the shape and color of pomegranate seeds, thus the Latin name "granatus" meaning seedlike Garnet does not refer to a single gemstone but rather a group of several species .These species dif­ fer in color, transparency, fire, etc., as well as in name Almadite and Pyrope are the most commlonly known; Rhodolite derives its name from the Greek mea/iing "rose stone'; Grossulante is from the botanical term for gooseberry". Spessarlite. is named for an aarea in Germany, and Andradite after a Portugese scientist who studied it in'the 1800's. Almandite is rare in a pure form so i t can be a variety of different collors ranging from purple to brown but is usually either purplish red oi brownish red Most gar nets used in tewelry are this type or Pyrope. which is usually a dark but pure, red.
