PHILOMATHEAN Pl-IILOMATHEAN was founded on the Alma College campus on November lO, l909, as a literary society. lt was within the past ten years that the group have called themselves a sorority and in this capacity they have been actively functioning ever since. They started their year with their annual rushing party after which they followed with the winter girl-bid party. The Winter Lodge was well attended and ranked as a highlight of the first term social season. About the middle of December, the group sponsored the annual Phil Fair at which time articles are offered for sale with the group using the money received for charitable purposes. At Eastertime they sponsored their spring girl-bid and followed it up with the highlight of the sorority's year, the annual dinner-dance at the Midland Country Club. Philomathean also won the scholarship trophy, a yearly award given to the sorority by Dean Steward who maintains the highest scholastic average. 30

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.

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.
