SIGMA (IMICHON MU Sigma Omicron Mu was founded in 1926 by Doctor Goodrich, then a French professor here at Monmouth. His ideal was to establish an honorary scholastic fraternity for those junior and senior students who had met certain grade re- quirements. These requirements were four semesters of honor roll, two semes- ters in succession. Its purpose is to foster intellectual achievement. Mem- bers of Phi Beta Kappa may become members and honorary members are taken in frcm time to time. Each semester Sigma Omicron Mu sponsors a Scholarship Day vv hen their new members are tapped. On this day, too, the members of the freshman hon- orary fraternities. Pi Gamma Pi end Phi Eta Mu, are tapped. This p:st fall on Scholarship Day, Mary Garden was given a degree. Following Scholarship Day is the annual banquet to which the freshman honorary fraternities are in- vited. First Row: Oyler, Smith, Forsyihe, Haun, Eeernick.
