a much more favorable light.
The Sorority is not just a new gadget dreampt up for purpose a of prestige, finance, status and such. It is simply the next log- ical step in advancing the interests, purposes and needs of the FP. First, it was necessary to find you by publishing a magazine for you which you would find interesting enough to support. Then it was necessary to provide a means of interpersonal communication through CONTACT to bring some out of their shells and finally the Sorority is formed to weld the group together for common cause, for mutual security and for the sense of self respect which can be regained by knowing that (1) you aren't the only one in the world with the se feelings, and (2) that since the others are also intelligent, straight- forward and sincere types that you can be also.

Guilt, fear, and isolation have been, as I have often said, the handmaidens of the TV. It has been fascinating to sit at the Edit- or's desk reading the mail coming through and watching the growth take place. Two years ago so many were writing how fearful they were about admitting to being a TV and actually putting it on paper to me when subscribing. They grew a little after reading a few 188- Then they dared their first ad or their first answer, with fear and long indecision and trepidation. They learned to give and take a little and they grew some more. Next they found that they could express themselves in correspondence, in articles and histor- ies submitted for publication and they began to see themselves in a new, less guilty light. They had grown to be Femme Personators by recognizing the feminine within themselves and not being ashamed of her. Even a little pride in her is beginning to show through in many of us. All this is growth and the Sorority is merely the tool to induce it, extend it, and develop it socially. Try these on for size, those of you who have not applied for membership or who have been sceptical of its purposes!
