KAPPA SIGMA Week-long flest finishes on high not Throughout the history of the Uni- versity, many annual traditions have been established. However, members of Kappa Sig- a believed that none of these traditions had ore of an intense impact than their Texas Independence Day Celebration, March 2. To commemorate Texas Independence Day, Kappa Sigs filled the week of Feb. 29-March 5 with impressive activities in ' which all students re encouraged to join. Activities included a renade, an open mixer, a road trip to Mexico, campus-wide party and a closed party for ppa Sig members and their dates. The Monday night serenade was one of a different breed. The members donned Mexican attire, complete with scrapes, sombreros and exican flags. Accompanied by a mariachi ,nd, the members wandered to sorority houses singing traditional Mexican songs and announc- ing their open mixer scheduled for Wednesday night. It ' s definitely a little different than the typ- ical serenade. At some point, we got kind of loud and obnoxious, but the sororities did not m to mind too much, Alan Taylor, eco- omics senior, said. On Wednesday night, Kappa Sig entertained embers of different sororities. The fraternity members furnished their guests with music and margaritas served with a Mexican flair. ursday night was highlighted by a traditional road trip to Mexico for both pledges and actives. President John Savardi, honors finance se- nior, said about the trip, It ' s traditional and a good chance for actives and pledges to get together and enjoy the week ' s festivities. It provides a very realistic touch to our Mexican festival. The campus-wide party was held on Friday evening. The fraternity furbished their house with a stylish Mexican setting. There was a $5 admission charge through which the treasurer collected almost $600. The collection went to- ward the door prize, an all expense paid trip for two to the beaches of Mexico. The remainder of the proceeds from the party was donated to Texas Society for Autistic Citizens. The open party is getting bigger and beil We have a good time and it ' s for a good cau:| Chris Kroeger, marketing senior, said.
