He decided the It Girl really had it. The year was 1925 at Kent State Normal College. A group of college men organized a club. They called it the Order of the Midnight Suns. A year later they became a local fraternity. Gamma Tau Delta was the name on the signpost. November, 1 927 saw the Gamma Tau ' s go big time Sigma Tau Gamma, national educational, took over Kent State grew to a full-fledged University. It was expanding and getting modern. Some thought social fraternities would move in The farsighted Gamma ' s severed national ties. Hopes for social affiliation were behind that. The hopes were realized with the advent of ' 50. 125

DELTA TAU DELTA Time out for relaxation and toasts to dear old DTD complete another day for Thomas Duke, Bud Mays, Russ Glans and Jack Berrey. Delta Tau Delta accepted them as Delta Omega chapter. The 24-year-old Gamma Tau Delta was bid adieu. 223 E. Main Street became the new Delta Shelter at KSU. Since then it ' s been the site for many parties. The Delt motto is bigger and better trophies this year. Homecoming decorations featured a 22-foot-tall monster. He brought in their second consecutive decorations award. Their Trumpeter blasted Songfest hopes of other groups. That made it two in a row for Campus Day vocalizing. Delt BA majors keep the Stater ' s books in the black. Their first Delta Tau Delta sweetheart was elected in ' 52. She became a sweetheart of a sister-in-law this year. The chapter Veep heads the KSU Student Forensic Assoc. They tugged their way to the Phi Gam Regatta trophy. Four of the brothers are in the current Who ' s Who ... Tiny but nice mice made Penny Carnival another victory. 124 Enjoying studies and cokes around the studying table are Bob Williams, Byron Radaker, Art Chambers, Jerry Lowe, Skip Hambleton and Bud Brokowiecki.

POP WAS WORRYING ABOUT THE REDS . . . Looking at the fraternity ' s history are Dr. James K. Olsen, advisor, Marion Moser, pres., Tom Pexton, sec ' y, Jim Weeks, vice pres. and Wayne McAfee, treos. Was Russia going to start a third world war? What were those communists trying to prove? How much would the UN take before striking? The year was 1 950 in a mixed-up world. Peaceful words written in the ' 40 ' s were nil. At Kent State University, the enrollment fell. Too many college men were doing police duty. A new fraternity was recognized by IPC, however. It was number 1 3 on the KSU Greek totem pole. People generally regard 1 3 as an unlucky omen. Chi Alpha considers it a symbol of achievement. Behind their rank as 1 3 is three years ' work. In those days, they were the Chiaipho Club. They determined to make a name on the campus. 126
