Jabberwock

JABBERWOCK, a title which is taken from Lewis Carroll's famous fairy tale, Alice in Wonderland, is really an imaginary creature. It is called so because of the many parts of other animals which is needed to make him sufficiently fascinating.

In 1923, Soror Marion Hope Conover of Iota Chapter of Boston, Massachusettes, conceived the idea of a variety show or night of fun and frolic that would interest sororities, fraternities, clubs, and other groups producing skills on a competitive basis. This new gala occasion was named "Jabberwock" and was such an overwhelming success that it became a Delta tradition.

Although its primary purpose is to raise funds, its unusual appeal is due largely to its broad prospectus. Its presentation offers encouragement and practical help to the development of any talent that groups or individuals may posess. Such talents may be in the field of music, dramatics, public speaking, aesthetic dancing, etc. Besides furnishing Delta with a means of financing chapter scholarship projects and of strengthening its scope of public relations, the Jabberwock provides Deltas with a real opportunity to be of service to their local communities.
