As in preceding years, the social life on the campus was introduced by the Alpha Theta Mixer. Their an- nual rushing party was rewarded by eleven initiates. Their Birthday Party, their St. Patricks Party, and the grand finale, their Spring Formal, were outstanding social functions of the year. The girls of Alpha Theta sorority have been unusu- ally active in social and extra-curricular activities on the campus, holding many offices in the Womens field of organization, ruling, and sports. This has all been due to the splendid cooperation and enthusiasm shown by the members throughout the college year. 28 A. O.

.l. KAPPA IOTA IN l92l, Kappa lota Literary Society was founded by Dean Elizabeth M. Roberts. Kappa lota, which was the third society established on the campus, has three definite purposes: to inspire higher ideals, to promote an interest in all forms of literature and to further the social activities of Alma College. Members of this group are found in every activity on the Alma campus with the basketball squad taking the inter-sorority championship. The first event sponsored by Kappa lota this year was a costume party for the new women-a Pirate Party. A Homecoming Banquet was held in the Rotary Room of the Wright Hotel. Kappa lota's Initiation dinner was the first such affair given in the new recreation room of Wright Hall. ln March, Kappa lota sponsored an all-college, girl-bid party. This Varsity Swing was the most successful informal party of the year. In May the Kappa lota summer formal Dinner Dance was given at the Midland Country Club. During the year, teas, dinners, and informal private parties were given for the members and patronesses. 29 Top Row, left to right: Phyllis Koeptgen, Mavis Harrison, Frances Friedrich, Ieanne Speerstra, Blanche Bahllce, Ruth Wille.
