Honoraries

ALPHA LAMBDA DELTA

"Scholarship, womanliness, and leadership," is the goal of the women of Alpha Lambda Delta, national scholastic honorary for freshman women, since 1931. Membership consists of those women who have obtained a grade average of 2.5 or better for either their first semester or first year at Indiana. Officers are elected in the spring to serve through the following year, and a senior advisor is chosen from senior girls who were once Alpha Lam officers to guide the year's activities. This year the members gave a card party, Christmas initiation and party, tea for senior girls who were Alpha Lambda Delta members, a dinner with Phi Eta Sigma, the freshman scholarship tea, and monthly meetings with speakers.

PHI ETA SIGMA

Phi Eta Sigma is a national scholastic honorary fraternity for freshman men who have attained an average of at least 2.5 for one semester or an accumulative 2.5 average for two semesters. At present Phi Eta Sigma has fifty-nine chapters on various campuses over the country. On our campus, Phi Eta Sigma sponsors such activities as the presentation of a cup to the men's housing unit which has the highest freshman scholastic average, preparation of "How to Study" booklets for distribution at freshman orientation, and various social functions for the members of Phi Eta Sigma.

BLUE CREST

The familiar blue crew hats and the well known blue and gold shield pins seen Wednesdays on campus belong to the twenty-eight members of the sophomore independent women's honorary, Blue Crest. Some of the activities that kept the members busy this year were a breakfast with Tophets, campus elections, decorations for the Sophomore Cotillion, a reunion with the alumnae, and joint activities with Sigma Iota. Blue Crest is also represented by a member in INDAC, the independent activities committee. The purpose is two-fold: to promote closer cooperation between the organized and unorganized students, and to encourage participation in campus activities by the independent students.

TOPHETS

Potential leadership, high scholarship, and participation in campus activities distinguish the girl who wears the green and white of Tophets. A 1.5 accumulative grade average and twentyfive activity points for her freshman year are the qualifications for membership. Tophets was established in 1945 to encourage friendly relationships among sophomore organized women and develop their leadership potentialities. Since that time, the organization has actively participated in both the social and scholastic phases of University life.

SIGMA IOTA

Sigma Iota, sophomore honorary for independent men, was organized for the purpose of recognizing students who have demonstrated the qualities of scholarship, service, and leadership. This group encourages the development of student leadership and stimulates an interest in scholarship. The organization places no restrictions on race, color, or religion in carrying out the aims of a class honorary — serving the university, "Serving Indiana." Applicants for membership in Sig I. are first screened on the basis of their merit. Sigma Iota gives independent underclassmen a foothold in the extracurricular realm of the campus.

SKULL AND CRESCENT

The Skull and Crescent is the distinguishing mark of the sophomore class honorary organizations for fraternity men. Each fall and spring, one or two men from each fraternity are selected for membership on the basis of their outstanding records in scholastic and extracurricular activities. The orange and green pod is the mark of a Skull and Crescent man. Organized in 1922, the fraternity has since that time become a national society. The purpose of the organization is to unite sophomore fraternity men for the accomplishment of campus and fraternity activities. This year, as always, Pod-Burning, the Sophomore Cotillion, and the Sadie Hawkins Day were sponsored by the group. Also members of this chapter went to DePauw to establish a new chapter there.

PERSHING RIFLES

The Indiana University Company A-3 of Pershing Rifles, National Military Honorary, has come into its own as a top-ranking campus organization this year. The annual Pershing Rifles rough initiation is becoming a looked-for campus tradition. Services performed by the unit for the University include the guarding of the 01' Oaken Bucket (when we have it), and protecting the body of J awn Purdue. The purpose of the Rifles is to encourage, preserve, and develop the highest ideals of the military profession; to promote American citizenship; to create a closer and more efficient relation; and to provide appropriate recognition of a high degree of military ability. The I.U. company also engages in competitive drill meets with the other colleges in the Third Regiment.

SCABBARD AND BLADE

F Company, Second Regiment of the National Society of Scabbard and Blade has regained most of its pre-war strength and is now looking forward to a bright future as an essential complement to the Military Department in turning out the best regular and reserve army. Membership is composed of a limited number of men chosen from the advanced corps of the Reserve Officers Training Corps on the basis of character and proficiency in military science and tactics. In addition to promoting the military aim of raising the standard of military training in American universities, Scabbard and Blade works on building the "gentleman" as well as the officer. This is the group that sponsors that top social event of the year, the Military Ball.

FALCON CLUB

Those men on campus wearing the black pod with the white stripe are members of Falcon Club, an honorary organization for organized junior men who are outstanding in scholarship, character, leadership in extracurricular activities, and service to Indiana University. The club's purpose is to provide a medium for better relations between the student body and the junior class, to foster a more cooperative spirit between the faculty and the student body, and to improve school spirit. They award the trophy to the outstanding I. U. football player, sponsor the rally for organized candidates for class election, and the founding this year of Indiana University's first annual "GREEK WEEK," to bring the fraternities and sororities closer together and to cement friendly relations between the organized and independent students.

BLUE KEY

The correct and official title of "Blue Key" is "The Blue Key National Honor Fraternity." This organization is comparatively young having been nationalized in 1933. The purpose of a college Blue Key chapter is to encourage service to the students and the institution wherever a chapter might be located. In this respect, the membership is restricted to men of junior and senior class standing who have displayed outstanding leadership ability in a service capacity toward the university and its students. In spite of Blue Key's short history, it is recognized nationally as the apex of achievement in the sphere of college leaders.

How to distinguish a Blue Key man . . . blue key charm swinging from key chain. How to obtain said key . . . accumulate one hundred activity points . . . then wait for consideration. Juniors and seniors wait too, kiddies. Blue Key is truly an honor which but a few merit, and a distinction which but a few attain.

PAMARAD

If it's a white pod with a blue triangle and a white felt "P," the wearer is a member of Pamarada. This organization was founded at Indiana University as an honorary for the recognition of junior and senior independent women who are outstanding in scholarship, leadership, and extracurricular activities. Each year Pamarada sponsors the traditional Well House Waltz with Flame Club, and gives a recognition tea for outstanding independent women on campus. During the seven years since its founding, Pamarada has been instrumental in presenting the views of the Independent students. Girls are eligible for membership in their junior and senior years.

PLEIADES

Aim: To foster better fellowship among the organized women at Indiana University, to create and promote school spirit, and to stand behind higher scholarship for women. With this aim in mind, the girls of junior and senior class standing who have shown themselves to be outstanding in leadership and prominent in campus activities, meet to decide on points of vital interest to all women students. Each year the group gives two scholarships to junior women — one organized, one independent. After studying the political issues at hand, they take an active part in supervising campus elections.

Flame Club is the result of a movement growing from 1938, when some independent leaders met to elect the first independent Prom Queen in the annals of Indiana University. By 1940, a new decade, a new Flame Club began to take its place alongside prominent honorary political organizations at Indiana.

SPHINX

Founded for the main purpose of stimulating and guiding interest of the fraternal organizations on campus, Sphinx stands as the ultimate honorary for fraternal men on the Indiana campus. After the stormy year of elections and selections, Sphinx men have solved the mysterious problem of getting the best cooperation from its constituents and has calmed the disturbed seas.

Leadership, scholarship, and service to the university is the threefold purpose of Mortar Board, highest honorary for senior women. Thirteen women selected on these bases made up this year's group. The outstanding project this year was the Dames' Ball, I. U.'s annual turnabout dance where the women escort the men. Other Mortar Board events were the sophomore recognition tea, the state conference, and a dinner for alumnae. Mortar Board also prepares tutor lists for the use of the student body.

BOARD OF AEONS

By Indiana University definition, an Aeon is a member of one of the oldest and most distinguished student governing bodies on campus — the Board of Aeons. In a very real sense, he is a liaison force between the student body and the administration, ever trying to bring the two more closely together.

The Board of Aeons is limited to twelve members, each appointed by the President of the University. Every Thursday night, in their room on the second floor of the Union Building, the Aeons gather to discuss the plans and investigations which lead to the amicable solution of many student problems. In solving these problems, the Aeons work always behind the scenes, often accomplishing what more publicized groups cannot. With the passing years, appointment to the Board of Aeons has become the highest honor that can be paid to a man in student government on the I. U. campus.
