AFFILIATED SCHOOLS SIGMA DELTA KAPPA The Eta Chapter of the Sigma Delta Kappa was organized at the Indiana Low School in 1916. One year from its organization its charter membership grew from thirteen to twenty-nine. Then came the first World War and Sigma Delta Kappa gave all but one or two of its members to the armed services. After the World Conflagration was over many of her members returned to the Indiana Law School to continue their legal education and active membership in this fraternity. A few years later, through the efforts of Judge hlitch and others, subscriptions were raised to buy a house in which the members came to live. For several years this home was maintained for the mem- bers. Later it was abandoned. This year the Eta Chapter of the Sigma Delta Kappa has once again given a large proportion of its members to the armed forces of Uncle Sam. The Army, the Navy, and the Marines, as well as the Air Corps, will find members of Sigma Delta Kappa among their fighting crew. Sigma Delta Kappa is primarily a scholastic fraternity and not necessarily a social one. hlowever, its social aspects ore not entirely forgotten. Bi-monthly luncheons, with well known attorneys as speakers, and dances and parties, play a definite part in its activities, hlowever, the scholastic key worn by its members is symbolical of the attainment which this fraternity considers most important. It has been the tradition of the Sigma Delta Kappa to make its members better lawyers but even more important, its purpose has been to moke its members better men. Both of these qualifications have been admirably upheld by the Eta Chapter of Sigma Delta Kappa. TOP ROW -Bartlow, Watson. SECOND ROW -Smith, Mazelin, Harlan, Lewis.
