ABSTRACT

Professional women are becoming aware that individual achievement is not enough to overcome the prejudices against women in the professional world. As chairman of the Research Committee of the Professional Pan-Hellenic Association, helped make a study of what professional fraternities of college women are doing for professional women, what they have found to be the problems peculiar to women in their respective professions, what they have done in an attempt to solve these problems, and what they think should be done. The most frequent projects undertaken by professional fraternities were in the form of aid to students, such as scholarships, loan funds, fellowships, and prizes. One fraternity has made a survey of the opportunities for women in journalism, the profession it represents; three others are making surveys, and two plan to undertake such surveys. One fraternity reports that it is attempting to raise the standards of the profession it represents, and doubtless others are making similar efforts.
