Sigma Chi The year was a busy, yet eventful one for the 65 members of the Epsilon Kappa chapter of Sigma Chi. During the year, the fraternity members participated in a variety of events and they won several different awards. The top two of these awards were the Fraternity of the Year, which was presented at the Greek Week Awards Banquet; and the Peterson Sig- nificant Chapter, which was the highest honor bestowed upon an undergraduate chapter by Sigma Chi National. In the area of intramurals, they won the basketball championship, were the overall winners in the bowling competi- tion, and captured the wrestling title as well. For their efforts, Sigma Chi placed second overall in intramurals, and Char- lie Simmons, Intramural Chairman, was named Intramural Man of the Year. In other areas, the brothers teamed with Pi Beta Phi sorority to win first place overall, as well as in the mixed division, in Delta Zeta ' s Follies. They also joined with Alpha Delta Pi sorority in capturing first place in the Homecoming competi- tion.

Little Sisters of Sigma Chi The Little Sisters of Sigma Chi worked with their brothers in making this past year the total success that it was for Sig- ma Chi. The spirit they had was evident in everything they did. Hosting a highly successful Halloween Party gave every- body who attended the opportunity to use their imagination and dress up in hopes of winning first place in the cos- tum e contest. They also helped tremendously with Derby Day, Parent ' s Day, and Fall Rush. They had three fund raisers which in- cluded a car wash, a chain lock-in, and a sack-supper auction. With the intention of ending the year with a bang, the Little Sigmas sponsored a New Year ' s Eve Bash. Brothers, alum- ni, pledges, little sisters, and their dates danced the year away and, indeed, end- ed it with a bang.
