This addition to RG 23/109, Student Organizations/ Z Society, includes a letter circulated and posted all over Grounds by the Z Society after an incident on February 28, 2022. The incident required a shelter-in-place notification to the community after officers initially responded to a report of a possible robbery with a weapon. Once on the scene, investigators learned the suspect had fled on foot but was located soon after in a construction zone behind the Main Library. The Z Society letter acknowledged the stressfulness of the situation and provided a list of local and national hotlines for services.

The collection contains two minute books and three folders of loose papers taken from the minute books, a copy of the Constitution of the Women's Students Association, a letter from Dean of Women Robert Hollingsworth and Peggy Thompson, Acting President, to the Women Students of the University of Virginia, 1946, enclosing a copy of the Constitution, and explaining various regulations and describing organizations that welcome women, and in what capacity. It also includes papers regarding women students at U.Va., including the typesetting copy and galley proof of the "University of Virginia Handbook for Women Students, 1948," a publication prepared by the Panhellenic Council and the officers of the Women Students Association. The handbook contains information one would expect to find in any new student handbook, with particular attention to the activities and organizations open to women's involvement. Also included is a copy of the Constitution of the Women Students Association and a map of the grounds with places of interest to women students highlighted including the new women's dormitory, the co-ed room and the office of the Dean of Women.
