SIGMA ALPHA MU SIGMA ALPHA MU SIGMA ALPHA MU Sammies ' Bounce for Beats Raises $15,000 Some fraternities might have spent their free time playing basketball for their own pleasure, but Sigma Alpha Mu, the Sam- mies, participated in a 100-hour basketball bounce marathon to raise money for the American Heart Association. Bounce for Beats, an annual Sammy fundraiser, was held Feb. 2-5. KTBC, an Austin television station, filmed Sammies on the University ' s West Mall during the marathon and featured them on their evening news program. Collec- ting donations at various malls in Austin as well as on the University of Texas campus, Sammies bounced their way into the hearts of sponsors and raised more than $15,000. Other service projects in which Sigma Alpha Mu took part were a car wash that raised $1,200 for the Texas Society for Autistic Citizens and the Spurs ' annual hold-up for Muscular Dystrophy. Sigma Alpha Mu enjoyed having parties and considered itself one of the more sociable fraternities. On Nov. 21, the Sammy house was transformed into a Roaring ' 20s speakeasy complete with a Model-T, black- jack tables and bathtub gin shooting from a machine gun. Prohibition was the name of this nostalgic party and members dressed in Abels, Marc Altman, Ross Appel, Jerry Applebaum, Freddy Azorsky, Greg Bass, Robbie Baum.

At the evening ' s end, flappers and mobsters cashed in poker chips for prizes and souvenirs. Sammies believed in a 1:3 ratio, especially when the ratio was between guys and girls. That 1:3 ratio seemed just perfect for the 2AM Crush Party on Feb. 13, when each member invited three crushes. More than 400 UT coeds attended. During Round-Up weekend, Sigma Alpha Mu held their memorable Wild Wild West Party. The mood was created not only by the rustic, western decorations and scenery, but also by the members and their dates who saddled up in their finest western duds. For Sam- mies, the highlight of their social calendar was their 60th anniversary formal on April 17. More than 400 members, dates, alumni and parents gathered at the Driskill Hotel to commemorate the fraternity ' s 1922 local founding. A banquet was served and danc- ing continued into the morning hours. Sigma Alpha Mu was founde d at City College of New York in 1909 and was chartered at the University of Texas in 1922. By 1982, it was a 140-member fraternity that placed an increasing emphasis on participa- tion in community affairs. Sammies showed their support of national fraternity concerns by hosting the Southwest Region Sigma Alpha Mu Conclave at UTJan. 29-31. Also athletically inclined, Sammies were division winners in volleyball, basketball and softball. With a cumulative fraternity GPA of 3.05, Sammies also showed outstanding status in academics without having to ignore extra- curricular activities. The fraternity had representatives in Texas Cowboys, Silver Spurs and Posse. Several members were on the CBA Council and the Liberal Arts Coun- cil. Almost one-third of the members were in at least one academic honor society. IGMA ALPHA MU SIGMA ALPHA MU SIGMA ALPHA MU 540 Sigma Alpha Mu
