Y Gamma Gamma Club the oldest or- ganization of its kind on Tennessee Wes- leyan Campus, was organized October 16, 1927. Although de- prived of a room of their own and handi- capped m this re- spect t:-.c girls built a stronger and firmer program every year. The club was first based on schalorship but later became more social in aspect. In 1929-30 the club with other Greek let- ter clubs of the campus organized a Pan-Hellenic Union, in this same year Gamma Gamma be- came the sister of the Phi Pi Delta Fraternity. HISTORY OF GAMMA GAMMA On February 23. 1923 Gamma Gamma united her efforts with Sigma Iota Chi becoming Beta Iota Chapter of this sorority. There were twelve charter members. Sigma Iota Chi has a dual purpose, self -develop .r.ent of her members and the working cut of a project each year for the betterment of Wesleyan. THE PHI PI DELTA The Phi Pi Delta fraternity, the oldest Greek letter organization on the campus, has been represented by its members in practically every activity for men. ?Tany of Wesleyan ' s best athletes, student officers. and leaders in dramatics and mus ' c have been Phi Pi Delta members. Here are some of tliis year ' s Phi Pi Delta members who are prominent in the student life on the campus: Frd Puett, President of the Senior Class. Winner of the Bayless Prize Debate, Business Manager cf the Nccatula, letterman in football, and a leader in the literary activities on the campus, is President of the Phi Pi Delta frate-nity. Mack Ray, a staunch Phi Pi Del- ta, President of the Student Body. Har- cld Gastman. one of the new members is Editor-in-chief of the Nccatula. Next year many of the import- ant officers will be Phi Pi Delta mem- bers. Johnnie Camp- bell is the new foot- ball captain, and we believe that he will be the best yet. Drarman Elliott is the new Editcr-in- chif of the Nocatula. A. B. Cooper is the new President of the Pan-Hellenic Un on Memer-Pfeiffer Library Tennessee Wesleyan Collie Athens, Tennessee

RAH! RAH! RAH! Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! for the Alpha Gam- mas! They are still eternally and ever- lastingly at it. Some may asK, at what? We are at everything. And. as a result, we have enjoyed a very prosperous year. Through the efficient work of our Presi- dent. Miss Jackson, eight members were pledged at the first of the year. Our acts may go on be- hind the curtain and the rule of secrecy may be observed, but still, you feel our in- fluence and hear our words. As for the social side of life, we have not neglect id that. The Alpha Gammas and their brother fra- ternity, the HIT ' S, have held several parties and other social activities together. And believe it or not. we are really serious at tim es. We have been having our regular weekly meetings, and som of these have bordered on the line of serious .less. In these meetings we have discussed some in- dividual problems. Very interesting programs of an entertaining nature have been featured. We wish each and every student on the Campus a pleasant vacation. ETA IOTA TAU The Eta Iota Tau fraternity was organized in 192 9 by Neal Ensminger. of Athens. Term., and Earl Henry of Copperhill, Tenn., with the assistance and direction of Dean W. E. Miller. The fraternity has been steadily growing in size and influence. However, it has not been aloof from the general rise and fall of the tide of interest and accomplishment which alwa . ' s accompanies progress. The Greek letters Eta Iota Tau stand for the English letters. H. I. T.. respectively, hence we call ourselves HITS and glory in the title. We have as our mot- to: Hit! don ' t fan! and as we look about us to see what places of honor on our campus are held by HITS we realize that they not only claim the motto, but are living it also. We stand for scholarship, sports- manship, manliness and wholesome living because we know we have to possess these qualities before we can live up to our motto: Hit! don ' t fan!
