I. U. in Organized Housingҟ
uiet Hours Fail to Calm Construction
One-Fourth of Fraternal Groups Expand Or Remodel, Spending $1,900,000 in All; Three Houses Added on Jordan Avenue
E
VEN by yelling "quiet hours" as a signal that it was time to study, organized students could not calm air guns, bulldozers, and other construction machinery this year. Buildings were going up all around them—even where they lived.
Expansion was an obvious pattern among the organized, with one-fourth of all units spending a total of more than $1,900,000 for improvements and expansion. Some fraternity houses will provide space for as many as 40 more men.
The three biggest building projects were under way on North Jordan avenue (New Fraternity Row). The new home of Kappa Delta Rho Fraternity, with an estimated cost of $275,000, was the most extensive undertaking. Men of Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity moved into their recently completed quarters this Winter, and ground was broken for the new Gamma Phi Beta Sorority house, which will be at the far north end of the row.
Additions have been built onto eight organized houses. All have been designed to provide more sleeping and study space, and a few also include larger dining facilities.
The eight houses belong to Acacia, Alpha Tau Omega, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Theta Chi Fraternities and Delta Gamma and Kappa Kappa Gamma Sororities.
At Christmas time, Acacia Fraternity had a lot of frontage to decorate this year, for its new east wing more than doubled the length of its house.

2,700 Greeks Carry Out Traditions Of Fraternal Organizations Here
Pledges race in wheelbarrow fashion at the Theta Olympics.
The more than 2,700 students who belong to the 21 social sororities and 33 social fraternities at I. U. carry out the traditions of Greek organizations.
They share the joys of fellow members' triumphs and work toward recognition of their houses as they take part in campus activities. Members of a chapter are united by the ties that come from living in a close fain i I ike group and the promises made at pledging and initiation ceremonies. Yet individuals within the group are encouraged to think for themselves.
The chapters honor the goals and traditions set up by their national organizations. Among the goals are high scholarship and service. The familiar fraternity and sorority songs are the most popular of the traditions.
Each Greek organization sponsors dances and entertains guests at open houses, dinners, and parties. In this way members gain social poise.
Although each house is a unit, the sorority chapters work together through the Panhellenic Council and the fraternity chapters co-operate through the Interfraternity Council.
In honor of a pinning, two houses join to serenade a couple whose pins are chained together as a symbol of their mutual affection.

IFC Produces Movie to Explain Fraternity Life
The Interfraternity Council, in co-operation with the Audio-Visual Center, has produced a movie explaining the I. U. fraternity system. The movie is now available to fraternal groups, Indiana high schools, and other organizations that are interested.
The IFC also submitted a brochure to the National Interfraternity Conference with the hope of winning a prize for the best fraternity system in the nation.
The I. U. group encourages scholarship by awarding trophies each semester to the fraternity chapters with the highest scholastic average, greatest improvement in scholarship, and best pledge scholarship for the last semester.
Composed of the president of every social fraternity chapter on campus, the IFC endeavors to promote a friendly relationship among the fraternities, the campus, and the community. As an added service this year, the IFC Executive Board kept office hours at its headquarters in the Union Building. Representatives of fraternities could come here to ask questions of the board and to have access to IFC office supplies and facilities.
Pledges are versus actives in a traditional tug of war across the Jordan River to determine whether the pledges must continue to wear their green pods.

Junior IFC Unites Fraternity Pledges
Many pledges have a hand in adjusting the crepe-paper streamers that, when raked, will form a ceiling over dancing couples at the Junior Interfraternity Council dance.
Pledges of different fraternities worked together to prepare for their annual dance, sponsored by the Junior Interfraternity Council Jan. 10 in Alumni Hall.
During the dance intermission, members of some pledge classes gave a variety show. Before the dance, pledges got acquainted at decorating sessions. Reproductions of pledge pins were part of the decorations.
New this year is the Junior IFC's scholarship plaque, awarded to the fraternity pledge class holding the highest scholastic average for the previous semester. A permanent scholarship trophy has been placed in the Union Building, and the name of the winning class is to be engraved on it each semester.
Functioning tinder a revised constitution this year, the Junior IFC is considered the middleman between the Interfraternity Council and all pledge classes. Members meet weekly in the Bryan Room of the Union to discuss mutual problems.
Acacias at I. U. Receive Award in 1958
The I. U. chapter of Acacia Fraternity received an award in the Spring of 1958 for the most outstanding chapter of the organization in Indiana.
The award was based on scholarship, campus activities, and internal improvement.
The annual Ice Cream Social. one of the last events of the Little 500 weekend, played a part in capturing the award for the chapter. This event has continually attracted celebrities participating in the weekend's festivities, as well as University and city dignitaries.
This year, the construction of wings on the east and west sides of the fraternity house more than doubled the front length of the colonial-style building.
The east addition, with 15 new study rooms plus sleeping space, increased the capacity of the house from 45 to 85 residents. The west wing, extending toward the back, includes a new kitchen and dining-room facilities for 125 persons.
Moving into their new wing, Acacia men find space for everything in their modern study rooms—they have large closets, new desks, and many rows of built-in shelves.

Alpha Epsilon Pis Have Bohemian Dance
An Alpha Epsilon Pi member and his date, dressed as "beatnics," dance in a Greenwich Village atmosphere at the Beta Iota Chapter's annual Bohemian Dance early in October.
Members of Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity dressed in costumes typical of Greenwich Village "beatnics" for their annual Bohemian Dance early in October.
A background of Greenwich Village decorations added to the dance's Bohemian atmosphere.
Other social activities of the fraternity included a banquet in April for members' parents and a beach party in August for members.
The AEPis have two major philanthropic projects. They aid Jewish orphans and underprivileged children through their national organization and support the scholarship program that enables needy student brothers to receive financial aid.
Although the Alpha Epsilon Pi unit has been on campus since 1956, it functioned in the capacity of a colony until it received a charter in April 1958 and was installed as the Beta Iota Chapter.
Alpha Phi Alpha Maintains Fraternity
The members of Alpha Phi Alpha, although they do not have a chapter house or live as a unit, have continued to join together in fraternity since their installation on campus in 1947.
The Gamma Eta Chapter at I. U. is a part of the United States' largest Negro fraternity, founded at Cornell University in 1906. The I. U. group works with its national organization in supporting the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People by making contributions.
The local activities of the fraternity include participating in Founders' Day ceremonies, building a Homecoming display, and sponsoring an annual Spring formal dance. This dance is on the day of the Little 500 and attracts alumni of the chapter and visiting celebrities.
The weekly meetings of the group, conducted in Union 312, provide the men opportunities to discuss business of the organization and to talk informally.

Although the Alpha Phi Alphas do not have a house, they can still meet weekly in the Union Building to discuss the current business and social activities of their chapter.

Alpha Tau Omegas' Big Scholastic Jump
Alpha Tau Omegas display the study habits that did not bring their chapter the IFC scholastic-improvement trophy; with more diligent study habits, they did the job.
Owing to their emphasis on scholarship, the Alpha Tau Omegas moved in one semester from 27th to 9th in the interfraternity scholastic standings.
This improvement, made during the 1958 Spring semester, brought recognition to the chapter from its national organization and led to its receiving the Interfraternity Council's trophy for improved scholarship.
Aside from being interested in scholarship, members of ATO participate in Help Week. During this time they work for the improvement of Bloomington by painting, sanding, and doing general cleanup work for the city.
The ATO's are planning an addition to their chapter house. Construction is scheduled for completion next Fall and will raise the capacity of the house from 55 to 80 persons.
The Delta Alpha Chapter of ATO came to I. U. in 1915. It is one of 117 chapters of the fraternity, which was founded at Virginia Military Institute in 1865.
Beta Theta Pi Chapter, Oldest at I. U.,
Calls of "Come and get it!" abounded at the annual Beta-Theta Barbecue before the Homecoming game Nov. 1. Beta Theta Pi Fraternity sponsored the barbecue jointly with Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority.
In October the Betas filled their house with hay and sponsored their annual Barn Dance. Dates for the occasion were picked up in a hay wagon.
Members of I. U.'s oldest fraternity chapter also won a trophy in the Fall Carnival with Alpha Chi Omega Sorority for the best precarnival publicity for their "Cat on a Hot Tin Calliope."
The Betas' major service project again this year was the annual cancer-fund drive. Their work on that project won them a certificate of meritorious service from the Monroe County Cancer Association in 1958.
Beta, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi Fraternities sponsored the Miami Triad to celebrate their foundings at Miami University of Ohio. Beta Theta Pi was founded in 1839.

Chi Phi Chapter, Chartered Here Nov. 15,
With unconcealed pride, Charlie Ray shows Sue Tanksley the charter that the Iota Delta Chapter of Chi Phi got Nov. 15, making it I. U.'s newest fraternity chapter.
After being on campus one year, the I. U. unit of Chi Phi Fraternity received its charter Nov. 15.
National officers, alumni, and friends attended the installation and banquet that followed in the Van Orman-Graham Hotel. The next day a tea for University officials concluded the installation festivities.
Although the Chi Phis are the newest fraternity chapter on campus, they have placed high in several contests. Last Spring they placed eighth in the Little 500 Bicycle Race and second in the production division of the I. U. Sing. This Fall the Chi Phis finished first in the intramural cross-country competition and won first place in the fraternity division of the Homecoming decorations contest. Their Homecoming display had an Arabic theme with the slogan "It's in the Bag-Dad."
The former Kappa Delta R ho Fraternity house on Third street is the present home of the chapter members.
Delta Chis Lead Dates Through Chute
Dressed to portray the hard times of the 1930's, members of Delta Chi Fraternity escorted their dates through the coal chute into a house that looked as if it needed condemning. The occasion was one of their biggest social events, the 10th annual Depression Ball.
When the Delta Chis returned this Fall, the remodeling of their rooms and housemother's quarters was finished. They are planning an addition to their house and the completion of its remodeling. These changes will increase the capacity of the house from 39 to 60 persons.
The National Scholarship Fund for Delta Chi members is the fraternity's main philanthropic project.
Delta Chi originated at Cornell University Oct. 13, 1890. I. U. Delta Chis celebrated the anniversary of the founding with a banquet at which Col. William W. Nichols, a founder of their chapter in 1925, spoke.

Delta Tau Delta Quartet, the Deltones,
The Deltones—(left to right) Mike Wiest, Lloyd Cast, Bill Tanner, and Jim Cast (sitting)—sing modern arrangements in close harmony for numerous campus affairs.
The traditional serenade, whether for a pinning or for a campaign, has the attraction of the Deltones Quartet when men of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity chapter call on women's housing units.
The Deltones Quartet, composed of four members of the fraternity, also sings for campus functions. Last year it sang for the AfterOpera Antics and presented intermission entertainment at the I. U. Sing.
The quartet also sang at the chapter's annual Pajama Dance last Fall. "Moonlight on the Delta" was the dance theme. Trees and Spanish moss imported from Louisiana decorated the house. Outside a swimming pool representing a river delta covered the lawn. All attending the dance walked a rope bridge over the delta to reach the chapter house on North Indiana avenue.
The local chapter of Delta Tau Delta, Beta Alpha, was installed in 1870. The fraternity was founded at Virginia in 1859.
Delta Upsilons, Following National Code,
Secrecy, characteristic of the fraternity system, is cast aside by the members of Delta Upsilon, the only social fraternity with open meetings and initiation.
This tradition was begun when the fraternity was founded in 1834 at Williams College in Massachusetts. DU founders decided to open their activities to the public in order to fight the criticism toward secret organizations prevalent at that time. The local chapter brought the custom to I. U. when it came here in 1912.
The chapter entertained at its "Midnight Manhattan" pledge dance in December and opened a mock gambling house at its Casino Dance in April. For the Firemen's Fling in the Spring, DU's picked up their dates, as they did for other events, in the fraternityowned fire truck. The house's Dalmation mascot, Dup V, was an honored guest.
In campus honors, the DU Little 500 team won pole position for the 1958 race.

Kappa Alpha Psi Exchanges Pledge Classes
An Alpha Kappa Alpha wears a sign showing that she is an exchange pledge of Kappa Alpha Psi—and is subject to pledge rules and duties of the fraternity's I. U. chapter.
Pledgeship was not just the routine of wearing pods for the pledges of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity one week last Fall. For that time they were the exchange pledges of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
The two pledge classes did each other's duties during this exchange week. At the end of the week, their chapters had a combined meeting at which pledges entertained.
The Kappa Alpha Psi chapter, on the I. U. campus since 1911, also participated in the national organization's Guide Right Project, a program for presenting scholastic goals to high-school and college students.
For social events, the members of Kappa Alpha Psi had a Spring formal in May at the Union Building and their Sweetheart Dance in February. A dance honored their new initiates in November.
The chapter is now making plans for a new home on North Jordan avenue. Until completion, members will live in University housing and meet at the Union Building.
Kappa Delta Rhos Hear President Wells
Ground breaking for its new $300,000 chapter house brought campus attention to Kappa Delta Rho Fraternity in October.
President Herman B Wells, representing the University, shoveled the first load of earth and spoke to members of the fraternity on the role and growth of the Greek-letter system at I. U.
The new building, which is to house 75 men, will be situated on the 'west side of North Jordan avenue, between the Sigma Nit and the Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity houses. It will be divided into two wings—one ranchstyle and one three-story.
While the men of KDR lived in Rogers Center they had a full social calendar. The Rodeo Dance, with the atmosphere of an oldtime cow town, topped the list.
The KDR's recently won their National Scholarship Trophy and an Outstanding Chapter Award. I. U.'s Nu Chapter is one of 17 nationally. The fraternity was founded at Middlebury (Vt.) College in 1905.

Kappa Sigma Sponsors Halloween Party
A University Apartment child, wide-eyed at the sight of the decorations and refreshments, finds Halloween excitement at the Kappa Sigma Fraternity house in October.
Kappa Sigma Fraternity joined with Alpha Phi Sorority last Fall to entertain children from the University Apartments at a Halloween party.
Prizes were awarded to the children with the best and most unusual costumes. About 30 youngsters attended.
In the Spring the local Kappa Sigma chapter gives its annual Stardust Ball in honor of Hoagy Carmichael, an alumnus of the chapter.
For service projects, the Kappa Sigs worked with Bloomington service clubs on community fund drives. They also loaned out their Saint Bernard dog, George, for publicity stunts. Recently, George has campaigned for the Monroe County Dog Shelter fund drive and the Bloomington dog drive.
The local Kappa Sigma chapter is 1Be8t7a Theta. It was installed on campus in 8 after the founding of the fraternity in 1869 at the University of Virginia.
Lambda Chi Alpha Easter Egg Hunt
The Easter Egg Hunts sponsored by Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity chapters in many parts of the country had their origin with the annual hunt begun 10 years ago for Bloomington children by the I. U. chapter.
This Spring the chapter colored 6,000 Easter eggs before the hunt. The bunnies for the occasion were members of the sorority that was invited to join the Lambda Chis, and the officials included President Herman B Wells. The eggs, gifts, and prizes were supplied by Bloomington merchants.
As another service the Lambda Chis joined with the 147 other chapters of their fraternity to contribute to the John E. Mason Foundation, a scholarship program for worthy fraternity members.
Last Fall local chapter members moved into their new east wing, which has increased their house capacity from 52 to 77 persons. They also have a new dining room and recreation hall in their building.

Possible future housewives---now green pledges of She Delta Theta—are forcefully instructed in the methods of cleaning the "blue and white" castle of the Phi Delts.
I. U. coeds became honorary members of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity after they had gone through pledge duties of the She Delta Theta weekend this Spring.
The dates of Phi Delts were pledged on Friday night, when they received Phi Delt garters as pledge ribbons. They had to report to the chapter house on Saturday morning to fulfill their menial pledge duties of scrubbing floors, washing cars, dusting furniture, and polishing shoes.
The festivities ended Saturday night with a dance, at which the dates were initiated into the organization of She Delta Theta. Paddles were given as favors.
Another social event of the Phi Delts was the Beachcombers' Ball in May. The decorations transformed the Phi Delt house into a tropical jungle with ponds and foliage.
In campus honors, the members of the 110year-old chapter won second place in the Fall Carnival with the Delta Gammas for their "Russian Bandstand" booth.
Phi Gamma Delta House Transformed
The chapter house of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity was transformed into a tropical island for the chapter's annual Fiji Isle Dance this May.
An imitation waterfall was built over the stairway inside the house, and greenery for decorations was shipped from Florida. In addition, leis were flown in from Hawaii, and everyone attending dressed in native clothing.
Also during the Spring, I. U.'s Zeta Chapter, chartered in 1879, entertained its alumni at the Norris Pig Dinner, a Phi Gam tradition originated at the University of California in 1893.
At Christmas time the fraternity joined with Pi Beta Phi Sorority to give a party at the Exchange Home, and with Delta Delta Delta Sorority to entertain children at the Christian Center.
This year the chapter's building program was completed with the addition of a wing on the west side of the house on Third street.

Phi Kappas Commemorate Buccaneer
Skull and crossbones decorate a dingy pirate den where Phi Kaps and their dates, wearing pirate clothes, pause for a swig of cider at the December "Buccaneer Bounce."
Large earrings and skulls and crossbones were common garb at Phi Kappa Fraternity's "Buccaneer Bounce," a dance honoring its pledges Dec. 6.
The social calendar for the rest of the year included a Spring formal, Founders' Day observance in April, and Moms' Weekend coinciding with Little 500 festivities. On April 19 the chapter sent members to State Day at Butler University.
This year the Phi Kappa residence was on East Second street. The chapter moved from its Eighth street house to facilitate improvements including the addition of a limestonefaced wing. Scheduled for occupancy in September 1959, the house will have living quarters for 20 more persons. Construction costs will range from $135,000 to $150,000.
The local Alpha Alpha Chapter is one of 37 Phi Kappa chapters. The national Catholic fraternity has "Loyalty to God and College" as its national motto.

Phi Kappa Psis Get National Publicity
As defending champion of the 1958 Little 500 race, the bicycle team of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity began daily workouts and special diets early this Spring.
Covering the practice routes with men from other teams on campus, the Phi Psis set out to keep their Little 500 championship in the 1959 race.
Beside being acclaimed through its race team, the local Phi Psi chapter has gained national publicity from Life, Look, and the Saturday Evening Post magazines for its Arabian Nights Dance. The Phi Psis rent camels from a circus to pull the Arabian hayracks that transport their dates to the dance. They transform their house into a castle for the occasion.
In February the Phi Psis joined Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity members to present the Jeff Hop, named for Jefferson College, Cannonsburg, Pa. Both fraternities were founded there,, Phi Psi in 1852. The local Indiana Beta Chapter came here in 1869.

Phi Kappa Taus Watch Bids' Rapid Rise
Another bidder sends the price higher at the Phi Kappa Tau auction, at which such varied items as a Dean's job for a day and dates with "Li'l Abner" stars were sold.
Bids rose fast and high for items at Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity's annual auction before Fall Carnival weekend. Proceeds went to the Campus Chest.
The job of Dean for a day, services of a fraternity and a sorority pledge class, chauffeuring service to class, campus parking privileges, and dates and a reception with "Li'l Abner" stars were the top items for sale. A dance followed the bidding.
A Spring formal dance at the Bloomington Country Club and a December pledge dance were planned as some of the chapter's social functions.
I. U.'s chapter of Phi Kappa Tau is one of 67 in the national fraternity. It came to campus in 1949. Phi Kappa Tau's first chapter was established in 1900 at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, as a protest against fraternities. The non-Greek organization became a fraternity itself a few years later.
The Phi Taus are planning the construction of a new house on North Jordan avenue.
Phi Sigma Kappas Begin I. U. Tradition
Housemothers' Banquets have become a tradition at I. U. since members of Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity sponsored the first one several years ago.
The local Phi Sigma Kappa chapter had a formal dance Valentine's Day in its new house on North Jordan avenue. The chapter moved into the house around the first of the year.
In campus titles, the Phi Sigs won the Quiz Bowl for the second consecutive year in the Spring of 1958.
The major national service project of the fraternity is aiding the cerebral-palsy organization by soliciting for the drive and distributing posters.
Last Spring, the national Phi Sigma Kappa organization awarded I. U.'s Sigma Triton Chapter the special achievement award for increase in manpower. The Phi Sigma Kappa chapter here was installed in 1949. The fraternity itself was founded in 1873 at Massachusetts Agricultural College.

Pi Kappa Phi's Undefeated Football Team
A Pi Kappa Phi gets a victory kiss at a dance that was planned spontaneously after his chapter's football team won the Class A Organized championship in intramurals.
Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity's undefeated football team won the Class A Organized championship last Fall in intramurals.
The Pi Kappa Phis earned the 1958 title when they completed their season by downing the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team. In 1957 the Pi Kappa Phi team won its league championship.
For social events, the I. U. chapter of Pi Kappa Phi sponsored its annual Rose Ball in May. A Rose Queen was selected from the house's pinwomen to reign at the dance.
A French theme was used for the "Left Bank" dance in February. Using a Parisian decor, chapter members transformed their recreation room into a café, complete with checkered tablecloths and candles dripping over wine bottles.
The Alpha Psi Chapter was installed at I. U. in 1947. It is one of 90 chapters in the fraternity, which was founded at the College of Charleston, S. C., in 1904.

Dedicated as Some 250 Persons Watch
Active members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity moved out of their house for one night in October. Their reason: to make room for alumni who attended the dedication of a new addition to the house.
President Herman B Wells, who spoke at the dedication, told some 250 guests about the importance of fraternity life at I. U.
After the ceremony, the chapter entertained at a smorgasbord dinner and dance. The next day, it had a campuswide open house.
The addition, which increased the house capacity from 60 to 95 men, includes new dining and study rooms. The older section of the house was remodeled.
The SAE chapter backed Bill Swift, senior, in his successful campaign to become Bachelor of the Year. SAE's also entertained at their South Pacific pledge dance and Winter Formal.
The Indiana Gamma Chapter of SAE came to campus in 1907. The fraternity was founded in 1856 at the University of Alabama.
Actives and alumni of SAE hear President Herman B Wells speak at the dedication of their chapter-house addition, which nearly doubled living space in the house.

Sigma Alpha Mu House Transformed into
The chapter house of Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity was transformed into a night club with bright lights for the annual Birdland Dance last Fall.
The theme was "Honky-Tonk." The walls and ceilings of the house were covered with aluminum, and colored lights were used for reflection. Fraternity members and their dates dressed as night-club characters for the affair.
The Sammies chose a sweetheart for their Spring formal dance, which was a part of Parents' Weekend festivities. They also honored their pledges at the Winter formal dance in January.
For services, the Sigma Alpha Mus entertained Exchange Home children with speech and hearing deficiencies at Christmas time.
The local chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu came to I. U. as the Sigma Zeta Chapter in 1922. It is one of 49 chapters of the organization, founded at City College, New York, in 1909.
"Fascinatin' Rhythm" added to a honky-tonk atmosphere as Sigma Alpha Mus assumed a nonconformist air to attend the traditional Birdland Dance in their chapter house.

to Celebrate 100th Year
at University
The two-day Sigma Chi Fraternity Centennial celebration brought back college memories for about 700 alumni of the Lambda Chapter last September.
These alumni attended banquets and the special initiation of the local chapter's Spring pledges. Speakers included President Herman B Wells and the present and past national presidents of the fraternity.
Sigma Chi was founded at Miami University of Ohio in 1855. The I. U. chapter, installed in 1858, is now the fraternity's oldest chapter in existence. Dating from 1870, the chapter house was the first fraternity house constructed on campus. It was almost entirely rebuilt in 1954.
In the Spring the chapter elects its Sweetheart of Sigma Chi at the Sweetheart Dance. It also joins Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta Fraternity chapters to sponsor the Miami Triad in March. The Sigma Chis sponsor the free all-campus Melon Mess during Orientation Week each September.
Lambda, the oldest Sigma Chi chapter in existence, along with its sweetheart, Claire Nelson, goes all out to welcome alumni returning for its Centennial celebration. 309

Sigma Phi Epsilons Take Dates "Abroad"
Sig Eps and candidate Celeste McMillan watch Roma Kay Blume accept her crown from Don Schmidt to reign as Queen at Sigma Phi Epsilon's Queen of Hearts formal dance. 310
"Abroad with a Sig Ep" was the theme used by the Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity chapter last November when it had its pledge dance.
Those attending dressed in international costumes, and the house was decorated like an Arabian night club, complete without chairs.
The chapter had a formal dance in the Spring and a tea for fraternity housemothers in the Fall. Sig Eps entertained with quartet singing at the latter affair.
Also in the Fall, the Sigma Phi Epsilons sponsored their Queen of Hearts Ball, an annual formal affair.
During the Spring of 1958 the local chapter was host at a Leadership Training School for the 12 Sig Ep chapters in Indiana and Illinois. Chapter officers attended meetings, a banquet, and a dance sponsored by the I. U. group.
Indiana's chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon originally was established in 1931. It was re-established in 1949.
Champion Homecoming Contest Display
A Viking ship, Indiana style, with dainty Vikings aboard was the center of attraction when the Sigma Nus placed first in Homecoming Parade competition last October.
Sigma Nu Fraternity's ship sailed into firstplace honors for Homecoming floats and won the Grand Champion Award for the best Homecoming display last Fall.
Although the float was too high to clear the trees on the parade route, the ship appeared at the game with six coeds on board. "We're out to sea an I. U. win" was the float slogan.
The Sigma Nus, with only one defeat, took second place in their division of the over-all intramural competition in 1957-58. As of 1958 they were the only housing unit to have won the Little 500 Bicycle Race twice. Their teams have placed in the top 10 since the race's beginning and they hold the record for the best individual lap time.
As a service project, the Sigma Nus and Chi Omega Sorority sponsor an annual Christmas party for students from other countries. They also joined with Delta Delta Delta Sorority to sponsor a Hungarian student at I. U.
The Beta Eta Chapter of Sigma Nu was chartered at I. U. in 1892.

Sigma Pis Find Long-Lost Oaken Bucket
"Who has the bucket?" was the question of newspapers throughout the state before the Indiana-Purdue game last Fall until the I. U. chapter of Sigma Pi Fraternity presented it to the Purdue chapter on game day.
According to members of the I. U. group, the 01' Oaken Bucket was left at their house on North Indiana avenue with a note to "beat the tar out of Purdue."
Deviating from the usual football homecoming festivities, the Sigma Pis sponsored a basketball homecoming rally in December.
The festivities honored t he chapter's alum ni, and as the result of a drawing a luck\ alumnus won a basketball signed by all the members of the I. U. basketball team and the coach.
For other social activities, the Sigma Pis gave a pledge dance in the Fall and their annual Orchid Formal in May.
Sigma Pi, which came to I. U. in 1924, was founded at Vincennes College in 1897. It now has 52 chapters in its organization.
Everyone wondered where the bucket went, but just in time for the I. U.-Purdue game, the Sigma Pis returned the treasure that had somehow come into their hands.
Tau Kappa Epsilon Begins Chariot Race
Back to the days of the Grecians with a slightly modern twist--team members strive to win a trophy in Tau Kappa Epsilon's first Chariot Race, conducted in the Fieldhouse. 312
Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity's Chariot Race originated in the Spring of 1958 and may become an annual campus event.
The race, a part of Greek Week festivities last year, was open to all fraternities and independent men's housing units willing to make and enter chariots. Each group was backed by a coed sponsor that sent a representative to ride in the chariot. In the race at the Ficldhouse, units of four men tried to pull their chariots to victory.
For atmosphere the participants dressed in Grecian costumes. Trophies were awarded for the best dress and for the winning teams and coed sponsors. Proceeds from the race were used to provide scholarships for organized students.
Nationally, Tau Kappa Epsilon is the second-largest fraternal organization in the United States; the local Gamma Kappa Chapter is one of six in Indiana. Installed in 1950, it has an active membership of 67.

Theta Xis Greet Exchange Home Children
Two children from the Exchange Home, formerly Knight House, assure an understanding Santa Claus at the Theta Xi Christmas party that they "ain't been nuttin' but good."
314
Members of Theta Xi Fraternity return to their childhoods each year when they entertain Exchange Home children at a Christmas party. The Exchange Home houses youngsters with speech and hearing deficiencies.
TX men have a formula for the evening— mix gifts and refreshments with a visit from Santa Claus ... stir well ... add a "two-hour wrestling match" . . . and you have a whale of a good time! "I had a ball," said a senior, "but I'll he sore for a week. Those kids play rough."
Theta Xi invited the recolonized chapter of Phi Mu Sorority to be guests of honor at its formal Installation Ball April 11. In November, the men entertained at their annual French Cabaret costume dance.
Within the national organization, the local chapter won the National Scholarship Improvement Award in the Spring of 1958. It had achieved this since coming to the I. U. campus as the Alpha Tau Chapter in 1949.
to Best I. U. Football Team Since 1947
Lucky blue jerseys received some credit for I. U.'s having the best football team since 1947 this year, but Ox, mascot of Theta Ch i Fraternity, took part of the honors, too.
After Ox showed great interest in the team by watching practice daily, he was adopted by the Fightin' Hoosiers as the team mascot and got a red "I" sweater.
For social events at the Jordan avenue house, the Theta Chis gave their Barn Dance in the Fall and Dream Girl Ball in the Spring. They had their annual all-campus Bicycle Bounce on the Little 500 weekend.
The national organization of Theta Chi presented the local chapter an award for scholarship improvement during the Spring of 1958. In the 1957-58 school year, the chapter's scholastic standing had jumped from 21st to 10th among I. U. fraternity chapters.
Theta Chi's Alpha Iota Chapter came to I. U. in 1920. The fraternity was founded at Norwich University, Vt., in 1856.
When Ox, Theta Chi's dog, was a puppy, no one guessed he'd grow up to be a mascot—symbol of power—for even licking his chops, he did not look vicious.

Zeta Beta Tau Films \Vin First in Fall
Months of planning and filming won first place in booth competition at the last two Fall Carnivals for the members of Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity.
The ZBT's entered the movie industry for the 1957 carnival with "Can It Be Done in 80 Days?" After this production won first place, they began filming "Bridge on the River Jordan," produced with the members of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority. The producers shot 1,000 feet of film at McCormick's Creek, Camp Wapehani, Lake Lemon, and the White River.
This show had its premiere at the Fall Carnival in a specially designed booth.
Another activity of the ZBT's was their Big Switch Weekend in the Spring. At this time girls moved in and t he men moved out of the ZBT house on Park avenue.
The local chapter of Zeta Beta Tau came to 1. U. in 1947. The fraternity's original chapter was founded in 1898 at City College, New York City, as the first Jewish fraternity.
Every show—even a prize-winning one—must come to an end, and the final job for the Zeta Beta Tau movie production crew is tearing down the marquee over its booth.

Executive Council—ROW 1: Molissa Lovell, Linda Smith, Carolyn Michel, Mary Holsclaw, Bonnie Shanok. ROW 2: Ronna Smitherman, Marilyn Moats, Mary Ann Barbre, Diane Roe, Marsha Vance.
Striving to arouse an early interest in the sorority system at I. U. this year, the Panhellenic Council moved formal rush teas from the weekend after Christmas vacation to the middle of October. Presidents of all I. U. sorority chapters comprise the council.
Panhel regulates setting up and enforcing regulations and selecting rush counselors. One girl is chosen from each house to counsel a group of rushees. The counselors guide the freshman through the preliminary rush activities and Rush Week.
To improve sorority living, Panhel sponsors workshops for girls who have chairmanships in their houses. At these workshops the social, scholarship, and rush chairmen and the pledge trainer of each house meet the girls in other houses with the same positions and discuss mutual problems.
The Panhellenic Council emphasizes the importance of academic excellence by awarding $75 scholarships to three organized women at the Greek Week Banquet each Spring. It also awards trophies at this time to the house that acquired the highest academic average and the house showing the greatest academic improvement during the preceding Spring semester.

Junior Panhel Has Pledges Scavengering
A hoola hoop was the least scarce of items hat sorority pledge classes were asked to collect at the annual Junior Panhellenic picnic Sept. 28.
At the event, all the sorority pledge classes went on a scavenger hunt after eating box lunches on Dunn Meadow. Scavenger hunt winners, the Chi Omega pledge class, received a trophy at the Greek Week Banquet.
A car wash in the Sigma Kappa Sorority and Kappa Sigma Fraternity parking lots was the Junior Panhellenic Council's Spring project. The group donated proceeds to the Monroe County Welfare Fund.
As a second philanthropic project, the Junior Panhellenic Council collected baskets of food and gave them to needy Bloomington families at Christmas time. Presidents of the Spring and Fall sorority pledge classes are members of Junior Panhel.
At the Greek Week Banquet, Junior Panhel honored scholarship and sorority service by giving a group and two individual awards.
Pi Beta Phi pledges back from the Junior Panhel scavenger hunt find that they have everything in their plunder but a full book of Fergie's matches—Fergie's was closed.

Alpha Chi Omegas Get Gifts and Eat Plum
Santa was on hand Dec. 18 for the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority Christmas party. He brought each of the girls and their faculty and alumnae guests a gift with humorous significance. Flaming plum pudding was served as a traditional dessert.
By giving parties for children at both the Exchange Home and the Christian Center, and by participating actively in campus service organizations, Alpha Chi Omegas maintain their high standards of service.
Within the I. U. chapter two girls receive Carnation Awards each year for the services that they have done.
In campus functions, the Alpha Chis placed second in the 1958 Miniature 500, won with Beta Theta Pi Fraternity an award for precarnival promotion of their "Cat on a Hot Tin Calliope" at the Fall Carnival, backed Bill Swift with Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity for Bachelor of the Year, and entered in t he Arbutus contest Patsy Newhouse, who became Queen of Indiana University.

Alpha Epsilon Phis' Fall Installation
Marcia Tolchinsky, vice-president, and Harriet Schilit, president, sign the charter of the Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority chapter which was installed at I. U. in the Fall of 1958.
Alpha Epsilon Phi last Fall became the latest social sorority to install a chapter at I. U. when the Epsilon Epsilon Chapter received its charter and 23 girls were initiated.
The national vice-president, two province directors, and two active members from the Northwestern University chapter attended the installation.
Since its founding, the I. U. chapter has sponsored academic-loan funds, social-service fellowships, scholarships, and a yearly donation for the purchase of scientific literature for the Hebrew University of Palestine. The group also contributed to the national AEPhi Foundation.
The first chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi was founded at Barnard College in New York in 1909. The sorority now is represented at eight Big Ten universities and has a total of 42 active chapters. This Summer local delegates will attend their first national convention at Suit Valley, Idaho.
Alpha Gamma Deltas Assist Teachers Daily
By assisting teachers at the Monroe County School for Handicapped Children, the I. U. chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority helps carry on its national service project.
Children who are victims of cerebral palsy or have mental defects attend the school in the nursery of the First Presbyterian Church. Alpha Gams work there daily and contribute toys for the children.
At Easter and Christmas, chapter members give parties for the 5- to 12-year-olds attending the school.
The Alpha Gam chapter had a costume dance in the Fall and a "Pearl Prelude" pledge dance in the Spring for its members.
On campus, the Alpha Gams won the Miniature 500 Tricycle Race as a part of the 1958 Little 500 weekend festivities.
In March 1958 the Beta Delta Chapter, at I. U. since 1947, received the National Achievement Award given by the sorority. The sorority was founded at Syracuse (N. Y.) University in 1904.
Alpha Gamma Deltas get rewarding responses from two youngsters at the Monroe County School for Handicapped Children, where sorority members assist the teachers.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Gives Bake-Sale
Bake-sale goodies get nods of approval as a purchasing committee inspects wares to be sold by the Alpha Kappa Alphas for the benefit of muscular-dystrophy patients.
By selling baked goods in downtown Bloomington, members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority raised $30 for the local muscular-dystrophy drive last Fall.
Homemade cakes, pies, and cookies were contributed by local residents for the threehour public sale.
To collect part of its contributions to the Bloomington Salvation Army, the AKA pledge class sponsored a Christmas dance for its own chapter. Canned goods or staple items were required for admission to the affair.
The whole chapter gave its annual Spring formal dance in March at the Van Orman Suburban Hotel. Entitled the "Ivy League Ball," the dance honored new initiates and pledges.
The Alpha Kappa Alpha chapter, which has been at I. U. since 1922, also sponsored Sisterhood Week at Christmas time. During that week "secret sorors" played pixies by doing good deeds for sisters.
Alpha Omicron Pis Have Daily Coffee for
Coffee and cookies are served daily by Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority girls in B. gc E. 10 to about 50 faculty members, students, and guests of the School of Business.
The AOPis inaugurated daily coffee hours about five years ago to join faculty and students together outside the classroom.
Sorority members serve on a nonprofit basis four days a week. In the mornings on Monday through Thursday, faculty members and business representatives conducting interviews come to the coffee hours from 10 to 11 o'clock. Students from introductory business classes are invited from 3:30 to 5 o'clock on Monday afternoon. At the same time on Tuesday through Thursday, faculty members and graduate students may attend.
For social activities, the local Beta Phi Chapter, on campus since 1916, honored its seniors at a Christmas senior formal and presented its pledges at the Spring dance.
The sorority was founded at Barnard College, New York City, in 1897.

Alpha Phis Get Citywide Attention for
A miniature monkey, dog, and octopus keep the attention of Alpha Phis who work on toys for their Toy Shelf, which is designed for use by local underprivileged children.
The Alpha Phi Toy Shelf brings citywide attention to the local chapter of the 86-yearold sorority.
This toy shelf is in a downtown office above the First National Bank and serves as a "lending library" of toys for underprivileged children in the Bloomington area. Toys are bought or made by the Alpha Phis when the supply needs replenishing.
Alpha Phis have also been active in administering assistance to the heart association as a national project, and in the Spring of each year the chapter has participated in the heartfund drive.
In addition to the Alpha Phis' service functions, they won first place for the best production in the 1958 I. U. Sing and sponsored the winning Phi Kappa Psi team in the 1958 Little 500. Also, their candidate reigned as Homecoming Queen last Fall.
The Beta Tau Chapter of Alpha Phi, installed at I. U. in 1947, is now one of 63 active chapters in the nation.
Alpha Xi Deltas Sponsor Two-Day Open
Sorority officers, alumnae, and I. U. students attended a two-day open house at the renovated Alpha Xi Delta chapter house in October.
On the First day the national president, along with alumnae who have belonged to the Beta Pi Chapter since its installation on the I. U. campus in 1946, visited the house.
Before the renovation was completed, Alpha Xis lived in University housing and met in either the Union Building or alumnae's homes. The house now has a Southern colonial architectural style. Limestone was used to cover the original stucco.
For social events the Alpha Xis had a Christmas and a Spring Dance.
The national philanthropies of the sorority include the aid to reconstruction at Noorwych in Holland and research for improvement of schools in Brown County.
Alpha Xi Delta was founded at Lombard College, Galesburg, Ill., in 1893. The I. U. chapter is one of the 67 Alpha Xi active chapters in the United States.

Chi Omegas Entertain Foreign Students
Feliz Navidid, Froehliche Weinachten, Joyeux Noel—at their yuletide party with foreign students, Chi O's and Sigma Nus hear "Merry Christmas" spoken in many languages
At Christmas the Chi Omega Sorority chapter joins with a fraternity chapter to entertain foreign students on campus. The Sigma Nus aided the Chi O's this year.
This annual project is part of the national policy of "Christmas Kindness" among the 121 active chapters of Chi Omega.
Also as a national project, the Chi Omegas gave a prize to the senior woman majoring in social service with the highest cumulative grade average.
In addition to performing service functions, the Theta Beta Chapter has won several campus honors. For the third year the pledges placed first in the annual Junior Panhellenic scavenger hunt. The first-place award for sorority decorations at Homecoming was awarded to the Chi Omegas for the second consecutive year.
In 1958 they won first place in the annual Theta Olympics, first place for their Chariot Race costumes, and second place for their pit decorations in the Little 500.
Delta Delta Deltas Honor Scholarship
Two $100 scholarships were awarded to outstanding University women this May at Delta Delta Delta Sorority's annual Pansy Breakfast.
The scholarship recipients were chosen on the basis of scholastic records, campus activities, and promise for becoming valuable citizens.
Senior women who had the highest scholastic averages of their respective housing units on campus, together with all women engaged to be married, were invited to the breakfast.
After the presentation of awards at the affair, the Tri Delts gave a bridal style show. Each engaged woman was presented when her fiance's name was read.
The local chapter of Delta Delta Delta finances its breakfast from the house's vending machine profits and from the national fund for the project.
The Delta Omicron Chapter was installed at I. U. in 1917, and the sorority was founded at Boston University in 1888.

Delta Gammas Get Two Awards for Being
Sue Cullen, Marge Weston, and Roxy Kuhn polish prized trophies, one of which is an award that I. U.'s Delta Gammas received for being outstanding in their sorority.
When the delegates of I. U.'s Delta Gamma Sorority chapter returned from their national convention last Summer, they added a new trophy to their collection—the first-runner-up trophy for the nation's most outstanding DG chapter in its classification.
Also at the convention, the I. U. Delta Gammas received the Province Award for the most outstanding chapter. They won the Gentile Award for highest scholarship among the Indiana active chapters last Spring.
To merit such honors, the 61-year-old Theta Chapter participates in local service projects. DG's, together with members of Delta Upsilon Fraternity, entertained children from the Exchange Home at Halloween. In co-operation with Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity members, they honored foreign students in the Spring, and they sponsored the Little Little 500 with Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority members in May.
Construction began in the Spring on two add i lions to the DG house.
Delta Sigma Thetas Carry Out Sorority
The annual Peppermint Ball this Spring carried out a national tradition of Delta Sigma Theta. Peppermint sticks were used for decorations and favors. Members dressed in red and white, the sorority's colors.
Besides the Peppermint Ball, the I. U. chapter entertained at two other dances this year.
With an eye to the future, members of Delta Sigma Theta investigate possible job opportunities and report the findings to their sisters. This program is one of the national philanthropies of the sorority.
National Delta Sigma Theta also awards scholarships to high-school seniors and college students and sponsors foreign students who wish to study in this country. The I. U. chapter raises money for the various philanthropies with Jabberwoca, an annual talent show in which various organizations participate.
Delta Sigma Theta was founded at Howard University, Washington, D. C., in 1913; the local chapter was installed in 1947.

Delta Zetas Present "Song of a Nation"
After weeks of work, the Delta Zetas and Lambda Chi Alphas, led by Bob Tennyson, sing "Song of a Nation," the final number in the Homecoming Variety Show.
Delta Zeta Sorority, collaborating with Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, presented "Song of a Nation" at the Homecoming Variety Show Oct. 31. The two groups had previously presented the song at the 1958 I. U. Sing.
Mrs. Eunice Roberts, Assistant Dean of the Faculties and Director of Women's Educational Programs at I. U., was elected Delta Zeta Woman of the Year for 1958 by t he national organization.
Early in December the local DZ's entertained their "adopted ward" at Craigmont Mental Hospital, Madison, with a Christmas party. The sorority nationally contributed to Gal laudet College for the deaf at Washington, I). C., and Carville (La.) Hospital.
Major social activities of the I. U. chapter included Dads' Weekend and a Faculty Dessert in March.

for Children at Denver and Vancouver
It's all in the future for the girls of Gamma Phi Beta, but looking at the plans for their new house, to be built far out on North Jordan avenue, makes their dream seem real.
Two Summer camps for underprivileged children are national Gamma Phi Beta philanthropic projects supported by I. U.'s Beta Phi Chapter. The camps are at Denver. Colo., and Vancouver, B. C.
In December, less than two years after its installation at I. U., the Gamma Phi Beta chapter broke ground for a house on North Jordan avenue.
The modern limestone structure will have a capacity of more than 60 girls, tripling the number accommodated by the temporary East Tenth street residence. Members hope to take occupancy by September 1959.
On campus, Gamma Phis entertained at house dances and participated in all-campus campaigns throughout the year.
The Beta Phi Chapter was installed in the Spring of 1957, 83 years after the founding of the sorority at Syracuse (N. Y.) University. There are now 61 chapters in the United States. The word "sorority" was originally coined for Gamma Phi Beta.

Kappa Alpha Theta Sponsors Spartanlike
Bearing a torch, Dawn Homan, president of Kappa Alpha Theta's pledge class, ignites symbolic light before the Theta Olympics, in which sorority pledges participated.
Spartanlike activities at the sixth annual Theta Olympics brought members of 21 sorority pledge classes to the Fieldhouse this Spring under the sponsorship of the Kappa Alpha Theta pledges.
Backed by fraternities, the girls contested in races and games for first-place ribbons and a traveling trophy-plaque, won by the Chi Omegas in 1958. Gunny sacks, scooters, eggs, and brooms were standard equipment for the contests.
A member of each participating group took part in a torch-carrying ceremony before the first starting gun.
In conjunction with Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, the Thetas sponsored the a nn u a 1 Homecoming Barbecue Saturday, Nov. 1, west of Memorial Stadium.
In the Fall I. U.'s Beta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta was chosen to colonize a chapter at Hanover College. About 35 Thetas chartered buses or drove on the trips to rush and pledge girls for the new chapter.
Kappa Delta Sorority Members Entertain
In conjunction with their national philanthropic project of contributing to Crippled Children's Hospital at Richmond, Va., Kappa Delta Sorority members this year assisted a 17-year-old local girl who has muscular dystrophy.
For one afternoon every two weeks, Kay Loudermilk, junior and social-service chairman, planned entertainment for the girl at the chapter house. KD's participated with her in card games and crafts, including jewelry construction. She periodically was the recipient of small gifts from the sorority members.
With their team members wearing black toreador suits, the KD's won first prize in costuming for the 1958 Miniature 500 Tricycle Race last Spring.
As a national organization, the 90 chapters of Kappa Delta, including the Sigma Upsilon Chapter, encourage friendliness.

The Brother-Son Dessert is planned for all I. U. male students whose mothers or sisters are members of KKG. The dessert alternates yearly with a faculty open house.
A film, "Bridge on the River Jordan," complete with illuminated marquee, won first prize at the Fall Carnival for the Kappas and Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity.
With Pi Beta Phi Sorority, the Kappas scheduled the formal Monmouth Duo Dance in January. Both sororities were founded at Monmouth (Ill.) College, with Kappa coming to that campus in 1870. The Delta Chapter was installed at I. U. in 1873.
Marie Kingdon, senior and president, received the National Kappa Undergraduate Scholarship at the 1958 national convention. The local chapter was first among sorority chapters in Spring 1958 scholarship at I. U.
Phi Mu's National Officers Give Help
In an unprecedented move, the I. U. chapter of Phi Mu Sorority was reorganized in February. National officers, with the help of the IFC Presidents' Council, organized an intensified recolonization rush.
Story-book, Halloween, and outer-space characters appeared at Phi Mu dinners during the year. All this was a part of the monthly Joe Night programs, at which the 30 new pledges entertained actives with skits.
Joe Nights are a tradition of the local, 39-year-old Delta Alpha Chapter of Phi Mu. Each monthly affair had a theme for t he costumes and skits.
Christmas toy carts were distributed at Bloomington Hospital by chapter members as the group carried out a local service project this year.
A round of social activities included a Christmas formal dance Dec. 6, a senior banquet in March, two scholarship dinners, a March Founders' Day dinner, and a pledge dinner-dance in the Spring.

Pi Beta Phis Entertain Numerous Guests
Pi Beta Phis and their faculty guests help themselves buffet style to turkey, ham, and other dishes fromҟa table decorated with a red and green Christmas centerpiece.
The Pi Beta Phis entertained about 200 persons at their biennial Faculty Buffet during this Christmas season.
To serve this number of faculty members and their spouses, the girls invited their guests to attend in two shifts.
As a singing group, the Pi Phis, beginning in 1955, have won first place for their division in the I. U. Sing three successive years. In 1958 they entered with the Phi Gamma Deltas, singing songs from "The Music Man."
Each Fall and Spring the Pi Phis introduce their pledges at costume dances, the Spring dance having a colonial theme.
The Pi Phi pledge class has drawn the highest bid at the Phi Kappa Tau Auction for the last two years.
Both having been founded at Monmouth (Ill.) College, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi Sororities presented their annual Monmouth Duo in January. Pi Beta Phi was founded in 1868 and came here in 1893.

Sigma Delta Taus' Car-Washing Proceeds
Wet clothes, wet shoes, wet Sigma Delta Tau Sorority members, but clean automobiles were the result of the SDT's' annual moneymaking project last Fall.
Profits from the car wash were contributed to the Exchange Home, where children with speech and hearing difficulties stay.
The local SDT chapter, which came to I. U. in 1940, received the National Activities Trophy at the sorority's convention in June 1958 for staging projects such as the car wash. Also at the meeting, the I. U. SDT's won the National Improvement Cup for scholarship.
On campus, the chapter presented a skit, "ROTC" (Really Out to Conquer), for the first-place trophy at the Hi llel Stunt Show during the Spring of 1958.
In December, SDT's honored their newly initiated members at their annual Winter formal dance. The theme, "Nautical Notions," was carried out with a skit about pledges shipwrecked on a South Sea island.

Although it took a lot of elbow grease and water by the buckets to make cars come out clean, Sigma Delta Taus made their work fun at their charity car wash last Fall.

Sigma Kappa Captures University's Past
Sigma Kappas display the varied costumes that they wore in their winning I. U. Sing number; the costumes helped them change from the 1880's to the 1920's to present.
Sigma Kappa Sorority captured the spirit of Indiana University from the 1880's to the present time and the Grand Trophy in the 1958 I. U. Sing by presenting "Memories of Old I. U." It was the second year in succession that the Sigma Kappas won the Grand Trophy.
The prize-winning number was divided into three parts, each representing a different period. Changes in costuming and lighting set the stage for each phase.
The first, "When You and I Were Young Maggie Blues," portraying the 1880's, was followed by a Charleston number for the 1920's. "Halls of Ivy" represented the present. "Memories" was used as a transition between selections.
As a result of this accomplishment, the Sigma Kappas received a silver tray at their national convention for winning in a major campus activity. Their national magazine, Triangle, also presented them a candelabrum for the best over-all contributions.
Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority Turns Tables
The tables were turned this year when members of Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority served as handy men at their Waiters Dinner.
Regular waiters were honored guests as the sorority girls served dinner and washed dishes. ZTA's also entertained with skits.
As a service, the members of ZTA furnished a room at the Exchange Home, home for children with speech and hearing deficiencies, when it was renovated. The home on Jordan avenue was the ZTA house before the chapter moved to its new home on North Jordan avenue in 1957.
The ZTA's also gave financial aid and sponsored the publication of an equipment manual for the cerebral-palsy organization.
One of the Zeta Tau Alphas' campus honors was the second-place prize in the 1958 I. U. Sing.
The local chapter, Alpha Xi, was installed in 1923 and is now one of 101 chapters in the country. Zeta Tau Alpha was founded at Virginia State Normal College in 1894.

The gals on the kitchen crew at the Zeta Tau Alpha Waiters Dinner also entertained their honored guests by reciting a humorous poem about each of the fellows present.
