CHI PSI Alpha Beta Chapter Honor Alumni, Professors And Brothers With Party The brothers of Chi Psi patiently enjoy a delightful hand of bridge in their beautifully decorated lodge. ALTHOUGH established on the Carolina campus in 1858, Alpha Beta Chapter of Chi Psi remained dormant for many years until December of 1956. The fraternity is very proud of its accomplishments in the last five years. It has members in such organizations as the YMCA, Tau Beta Pi, Euphradian So- ciety, band, varsity tennis, golf, swimming. Dr. Dan Hollis, University History Professor, taught a course, The Man and His College, to freshmen in order to give them a better insight into their college and its activities, with emphasis on study habits. Also, two hundred dollar scholarships are given to two outstanding iuniors, and one twelve hundred dollar scholarship is given to a promising, graduating senior for graduate study at the college of his choice. The Annual Faculty Drop-In and the An- nual Alumni Birthday Party were two func- tions given in honor of the brother ' s professors and older brothers, respectively. The Medal- lion Ball, the Christmas Dance, the Water Festival Party and the Cafe Soirees were the highlights of the social calendar. Chi Psis and their dates greet first group of rushees as they begin the circuit cf the different fraternity houses. Girls are essential during both spring and fall rush as is shown here by several Chi Psis and their hostesses. 246

KAPPA ALPHA Rho Chapter The Old South Ball Highlights Spring Semester Sporting shaggy beards, KAs grab a new pledge during the climax of the conclusion of 1961 spring pledging. BEING outstanding in a varied field of activities, the brothers of Kappa Alpha fraternity recorded 1960-61 as another suc- cessful year in its history. KA once again enjoyed a highly successful fall rush season. On the day of pledging, twenty-two Southern Gentlemen pledged. Pledging was followed by a party at Gibson ' s pond. Serenades, houseparties, and after-football- game parties made up some of the fall social functions. The annual Christmas party for the Carolina Children ' s Home completed the fall social calendar. As a highlight of the year, Rho Chapter played host to Graves Province, including all the KA chapters in South Carolina, at the annual Old South Weekend. The partying began Friday night wi th the Sharecropper ' s Shindig and continued through Saturday ' s Secession Ceremony, Mint Julep Party. As a climax for a wonderful weekend, the Old South Ball was enjoyed by all ' til the wee hours of the dawn. Some of the Kopa Alphas appear to be taking life easy as they pass a quiet afternoon relaxing in their lounge. 248
