7 lia ' ' jm Celebrating a year of honors Voted Best Greek Organization of 1985, Delta Chi fraternity had approx- mately 70 members. Delta Chi ' s didn ' t have one set per- ionality but they were big in irotherhood, Joe Reynolds said. Working together, Delta Chi ' s spon- iored several service activities. One vhich created interest among students vas the presentation of Candy -ightner. Lightner, mother of twin daughters, one of which was killed by a drunken iriver, founded MADD (Mothers gainst Drunk Driving) in hopes of educing the number of drunken driver elated deaths and injuries. Service activities contributed to win- ning Best Greek Organization for the Delta Chi ' s as well as the President ' s Zup. This award was won through a na- tional competition in which smaller universities competed. Both awards were judged basically on campus and community involvement and leader- ship. Another service activity Delta Chi ' s opened to the community was Home Handyman Week. Seventy Delta Chi ' s spent two hours helping the communi- ty with various chores such as raking leaves, mowing grass and moving fur- niture. Christmas party for Head Start children was another activity involving members. Delta Chi ' s had a delegate in the Maryville Chamber of Commerce which gave Delta Chi ' s involvement in the Chamber also. Community projects helped keep good rapport between Maryville resi- dent and students. We showed the community that we really cared through the Home Han- dyman program, Daryl Covell said. The Delta Chi fraternity encouraged social as well as personal growth in its members. It taught me how to live in the world and how to deal with people, Vice President Jay De Leonard said. It taught me things dorm life wouldn ' t. Part of Delta Chi ' s success lay in the contributions and dedication their lit- tle sisters, Chi Delphians gave. Helping with Delta Chi ' s social and service activities and participating in Delta Chi functions, Chi Delphians sup- ported their brothers. Brotherhood, a Delta Chi trait, could also be found in Chi Delphians. We were a close-knit group with a lot of friendships, President Kris Walters said. We were a family. Each year Delta Chi ' s chose a Chi Delphian they felt was an overall sweetheart to be named Delta Chi Sweetheart of the year. Lisa Beck was 1986 sweetheart and had her picture displayed on the front of the Delta Chi calendar. Warm weather brings Chi Delphian Amy Mc- Clemmons out into the sunshine.

udof academic tradition rophy was enough to make us put in jxtra study time, President Jay Halla iaid. Sig Eps ' awards didn ' t end with academics. They were the recipient of Dthers including the Buchanan Dutstanding Chapter Award and Ex- :elsior Award for significant improve- ment in the chapter and in chapter operations. Although Sigma Phi Epsilon was a jociai fraternity, it was also a caring Dne. In the past, it had been associated with the Special Olympics, Heart Fund, DLX Jock-a-Thon, Maryville Food antry and sponsoring a child. Since we were a large group, it was so easy to help. Only a little time or money from a Sig Ep went a long way when pooled with his brother ' s time or money, Eric Johannesman said. Middle summer annually brought brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon, their lit- tle sisters and their alumni together for a weekend of work and fun. The Duke Party was their version of the Greek work weekend. It was a time when everyone came back to work on the house and prepare for the coming semester. It was a great time, Secretary Mike Kieny said. Sig Eps ' little sister organization, Golden Hearts, was also active both on campus and in the community. Their services included sponsoring an Indian girl, working with Special Olympics and KDLX ' s Jock-a-Thon. We did our share, but we hoped to do even more in the future, President Cindy Margis said. Aside from their association with the Sig Eps, Golden Hearts were best known for sponsoring Mud Volleyball. They also played a role in one of Nor- thwest ' s biggest events. Air Rock. Being a Golden Heart was not only exciting, but it was fulfilling, Anna Book said.
