SEEKING A SOCIAL SIDE TO ACADEMIA College life cannot consist of merely gaining all that one can from the books and the instructors and the courses with which one comes in contact as a student. Human beings have a social side, an aspect of charac- ter that needs the company of other people, that requires the understanding and friendship of one ' s peers. These necessities must be fulfilled for a human being ' s personality to be complete and for an indi- vidual to feel satisfied in his existence. In an attempt to comply with such basic and uni- versal human prerequisites for happiness, a sorority like Phi Delta Sigma offers an answer. With frequent meetings, dances and social projects, the members achieve a knowledge and a comprehension of the variety of human actions. And with this awareness, a unity of purpose is developed which makes them truly sisters.

CREATING LASTING BONDS OF FRIENDSHIP A break in classes is more enjoyable when spent in pleasant conversation. Two sorority sisters make plans for an upcoming social event. The sorority pin of Cini Theta Chi contains twenty pearls representing membership that originally founded the sorority thirty-seven years ago. The sorority colors, yellow and black, are displayed at all social functions and worn by their pledges. Mrs. Choos of the Math Department is the sorority ' s advisor. Members participate in a wide range of college organi- zations indicative of the variety of interests of their sisters. In addition to their obligations to Chi Theta Chi, members give their energies toward such school activities as Student Government, Tempo, Glee Club, Choir, and the Math Club. As a social sorority, they sponsor formal Christmas and Spring dances, a mother-daughter dinner, teas, dinner parties, and dances open to the student body. The goal of Chi Theta Chi is to create within their sisterhood bonds which will last beyond their college years.
