The traditional White Rose Formal was given on the house ' s new tennis courts. The decora- tions were full of spring in their lattice-work fences and boughs of flowers. Hades Hop was the theme of the fall pledge dance. One can guess what those decorations were. The Lambda Chi ' s have that I.U. spirit. One of their boys is chairman of the Hoosier Boosters Club. The Lambda Chi ' s are proud that they are one of the two houses on campus to have a housemother living in the house. They were even more proud of tlie fact that their house- mother was honored at a National Conclave. She was chosen as tlie outstanding Lambda Chi housemother in the nation. For the second year the Lambda Chis spon- sored a gigantic Easter Egg Hunt for Blooming- ton children, twelve years old and under. The boys bought and colored the four hundred eggs themselves. No one was left out, as the eggs were given to all who didn ' t find any. This is one of the Lambda Chis ' biggest projects. OMEGA PSI PHI OFFICERS President Roland Harris Vice-President Willam McKinney Secretary Jolm Lewis Treasurer Alan Randolph The men of Zeta Epsilon chapter of Omega Psi Phi moved into their own house on Eighth Street the second semester of last year after they had become a recognized fraternity on campus. Although new on the I.U. campus. Omega is a strong national fraternity with 195 chapters throughout the country. The opening of school found the Omegas rushing aroun i the house readying it for the onslauglit of football season. When the rapid series of home football games was over, a round of informal get-togetliers was held over coffee and dougiinuts. Plans were made to enlarge and build up the fraternity. On November 19lh, the house met in the First Baptist Church to commemorate the 39th year of the fraternity. Here the four cardinal principles of Omega were stressed: uplift, man- hood, scholarship, perseverance. The year was brought to a close with Spring Revelry, tlie annual formal. 408

.It ■ l f ' fll ' 1 PHI DELTA THETA OFFICERS President Harry Kerr, Jr. Secretary Ed Erpelding Treasurer Morris Clements Prima — is the password at the Country Club on the hill, as the Phi Delt house is called. This year the Indiana chapter has 101 years of proud past history. In the typical language of the boys, many Phis have been known to lurk around the Union Building and Y.M.C.A. offices furthering their extracurricular activities. The Phi Delts have the president of Town Hall, three mem- bers of Union Board and four men on the Y.M.C.A. Council and Cabinet. Within the house itself there are many activi- ties which take up much of brothers ' time. Back in 1946, an award was given to one of the Phis for showing the greatest lack of co-ordina- tion (physical). Soon thereafter, the award was named the Ballard Memorial Trophy in his behalf. It has been presented numerous times this year to brothers who show the same short- comings. The dance of the year was The Beach- comber ' s Ball. A trophy was again awarded to the girl wearing the most appropriate costume. In the spring a Soap Box Derby was staged on Phi Delt hill. The winner was kissed by a queen, after being given the checkered flag by one of the popular race drivers in the 500 Mile Memorial Day Classic at Indianapolis. PHI GAMMA DELTA OFFICERS President John Kyle Vice-President Al Sicks Secretary Ray Lanum, Frank O ' Bannon Treasurer Don Lambert Phi Gamma Delta, here we are! . . . standing in the shining glory of a Fiji smoke dream come true after five years of waiting. The construc- tion workers moved out, and the Plii Gams proudly moved into their new wing — a fire- proof construction containing thirteen new study rooms, a dining room, kitchen — and a new sun porch with a beautiful game room beneath it. Highlighting the Fiji social season were the Jeff Hop, an annual dance given in connec- tion with tlie Plii Psi ' s; Norris Pig Dinner, honoring the newly initiated Class of 19. ' 4; and the annual Fiji Island Dance, a gala costume affair patterned after life in the Pacific Ocean Fiji Isles. Activities at Phi Gamma Delta are growing — this year they could boast of having the presi- dent of Interfraternity Council, the business manager of the Arbutus, and the president of Falcon Club. They also have one position on the Board of . eons along with four members in the Indiana University Blue Key Chapter. 410
