Phi Kappa Theta Phi Kappa Theta was formed in 1958 when Theta Kappa Phi and Phi Kappa, fraternities for Catholic men, merged. Previously the Kent chapter, organ- ized in 1949, was known as the Phi chapter of Theta Kappa Phi. It received two awards from national headquarters last year. They were the national Chapter Improvement award and the Sun trophy for the best chapter publication. With three major dances the Phi Kap social calendar is well filled. Each fall a Sweater hop is held, with a Sweater queen selected to reign over it. At the Gold Cup formal winter quarter each of the brothers ' dates receives a symbol of her beauty. In the springtime at the Sweetheart formal the Sweetheart of Phi Kappa Theta for the coming year is chosen. The fraternity has something of which no other frater- nity can boast — its own private lake. As a result, members often hold swimming and picnicking part- ies. The men of Phi Kappa Theta have close ties with Newman club, Catholic student organization. Each group helps the other to their mutual benefit. John Kujawski, Richard Andrews and Robert Cale pause momentarily on their way to meet some of the brothers coming home for supper. Peter Previte. Pres. John Fiedler, V. Pres. Robert Brown, Sec.

The men of Phi Kappa Tau, Beta Mu chapter, pride themselves on the closeness of their undivided brotherhood. Men of Phi Tau can be found in virtually every phase of campus activity. The bearers of the Phi Kappa Tau pin have repre- sented their chapter on Student Council and as top officers in Inter-fraternity council, Newman club, Stopher Hall House council and on the staff of the Daily Kent Stater. Working as a group they have won trophies for their combined efforts on Home- coming, Campus Day, Rowboat Regatta and Greek Week. The chapter has also received awards from its national office for scholastic success. Besides scholarship the men of Phi Kappa Tau have a well rounded social life.
