BRADY'S PROPHECY STIRS UP PIN-WEARERS SELECTING THE Outstanding Greek Citizen was a tough decision, so the award went Don Wolff, Phillip Twente, Bob Steele, Will Johnson and Woody Swearengen fnot picturedl. , i l -3 if WAITING TO go on stage in Sorority Sing, the Kappas rest their voices Greeks from almost fifty fraternities and sororities climaxed their 1958-59 year with the annual Greek Week. Campus Town Races, Fraternity-Sorority Sing, the first Sig- ma Chi Derby Day and dinner guests were better than ever last April: but this Greek Week will be remembered for another event.
