THEY ALL DANCED Dances permeate the entire social calendar, but somehow, spring adds to the excitement of the events. Included in the spring social season are the Spring Swing, J-Hop, and the sorority and fraternity formals. Aside from Homecoming these are possibly the biggest weekends on campus. All are iniected with the spirit of spring.

Founded in Ypsilanti on November 4, T899, the sorority has thirty-four chapters. Five of these are in Michigan -Eastern Michigan, Central, Wayne State, University of Detroit, and Alma. National affiliation has brought the Alpha Taus many new opportunities and activities. Each member receives the quarter- ly magazine, and each at the officers receives monthly news- letters. A national convention is held every two years, last summer girls from all over the country met in Washington, D.C. There are also yearly state conventions. Through the notional officer our chapter gives aid to Pine Mountain Settlement School in Kentucky and Penland Handicraft School in the Carolina Mountains. We also have regular culture programs, prescribed by national and ranging from philosophy to etiquette. Each of these activities helps us fulfill the aim of Alpha Sigma Tau, enduring friendship and worthwhile living. The Alpha Taus have a wide variety of campus activities, too. These include dime dances, national and local founder's day observances, Homecoming, Parent's Day, the Holly House with our brothers Sigma Tau Gamma, an annual Christmas visit to the Baptist Children's Home in St. Louis, Snow Carnival, our girl-bid Valentine dance-Amo Te, song-fest, spring formal and sorority weekend. The girls also participate in intramurals- this year winning the volleyball championship and tieing for second in basketball.
