One of the greatest concerns of the members of Delta Sigma Theta is to volunteer services for the betterment of their community. Deltas share their active volunteer workers for many civic and char- itable organizations. Gamma Gamma Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., was established on Philander Smith Colleges campus on April 27, 1942 with the same high ideals and purposes envisioned by the founders of Delta Sigma Theta on january 15, 1913, at Howard University, Washingtoin, D.C. The purpose of these founders was to establish an organization whose aim would be to promote high intellectual, cultural, and moral standards among its members which would spread throughout the world. Deltas have striven to maintain this purpose and uphold the ideas for which Delta Sigma Theta stands.

Beta Tau Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fra- ternity was organized on the campus of Phil- ander Smith College by Dr. Oba White on April 7, 1947. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity is the crystalliza- tion of a dream. It is the beautiful realization, beyond the realm of all imagination, of a vison shared commonly by the late founders-Elder Wfatson Diggs, Byron K. Armstrong, and john M. Lee. It was the prudence of these men which inspired them the night of january 5, 1911 on the campus of Indiana University to sow the seed of a fraternal tree whose fruit is available to, and now everywhere enjoyed by college youth. The fundamental purpose of Kappa Alpha Psi is achievement. The noble members of this fraternity cherish this precept because it is realized that only through the achievement of each individual in his own particular field of endeavor can mankind hope to reap the fullest benefits from things which life has to offer.
