The day that bids were to come out, and as I lay in wondering if I would be chosen to become a part of a sorority many thoughs passed through my mind. I knew I had made the right decision, but would the sorority want me? Would they give me a bid? Yes, I really did want to be one of those charmin' gals. I wanted to be a part of the group that had always fascinated me with their individuality, friendliness and sincerity. They had never seemed to be a group of stereo- types, and this meant a great deal to me, as I wanted to retain my own individuality if I was accepted to a sorority. From the obser- vations that I had made throughout the year, this sorority had the members, the honors and the accomplishments of which to be proud. But iust then a noise broke through my thoughts-it was the sound of an envelope being slipped under the door. As I hurriedly tore open the envelope, I saw that they had wanted me, for two slim, satin ribbons emerged-the gold and purple ribbons of Kappa Iota. It hardly seemed possible that now I too was a KI.

Delta Sigma Phi is many things-things difficult to describe by mere words alone. They are intangible things which leave their imprints in the hearts of men and provide a rich, thriving experience that remains with the members for their entire life. Delta Sigma Phi encourages its sons to make the most of college through a well- planned and well-balanced life. It stresses the symetrical develop- ment of mind, soul, and body. Academic achievement is the keystone for which Delta Sigma Phi stands. We believe that the first and foremost obiectives of any college fraternity is the advancement of education. The vigor with which we strive to attain this goal is best demonstrated by our record of being the recipient of the President's Cup for five succes- sive semesters. Delta Sigma Phi also emphasizes the development of social poise, personality, and the understanding of human relations. To aid in this development, Delta Sigma Phi has initiated a positively stressed Engineered Leadership program. We also emphasize physical development, illustrated by the fact that Delta Sigs participate in all varsity sports at Alma College. Beyond this, the Delt Sigs are more than amply represented in intra- mural sports. Two football teams, five volleyball teams, five basketball teams, three bowling teams, and two softball teams were fielded this year by the Delt Sigs. The men of Delta Sigma Phi stress the highest ideals of sportsmanship not only in varsity and intramural athletics but throughout their college activities. lf fraternal spirit could be defined, it might be the sum total of brotherhood, participation, and relaxation. Working together on our Sailor's Ball, our Carnation Ball, our open houses, our house improvements, our parties, our prize winning homecoming float and lawn decorations, in scholarship and in athletics-even relaxing in the house or sitting in the Union together-mold the spirit of brotherhood in each member of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity.

Tau Kappa Epsilon, the largest social fraternity in the world, was founded on January 10, 1899, at Illinois Wesleyan University. Its first three chapters formed a geographical equilateral triangle, giving the fraternity its primary symbol. It is founded upon Christian idealism. Such principles were uppermost in the beginning of the fraternity, they are expressed in ideals which it stresses today. The ritual voices the purposes be- hind the fraternity's establishment, the reason for its continual growth. With an attitude of non-exclusiveness toward non-fraternity men, we submit character as our keynote, our alma mater as our primary loyalty, and these seven obiectives: l. To develop my character, 2. Discover my mental aptitude and train it, 3. Prop stimulate and direct my intuitions and emotions, 4. Preserve my health and increase my physical strength, 5. Learn about organized society and how to effectively apply my talents and ability as a member, 6. Acquire skill in communicating with my fellow men by the use of both oral and written language, 7. Become proficient in manners, honest and zealous in my endeavors, conscious of the effect of my association with others, and prompt in assuming responsibility for the influence of my personality. We, the members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon, hereby declaring our strict adherence and un- swerving fidelity to what we believe to be the basic principles of true friendship, adopt the fol- lowing principles. Man is a social animal. Our whole structure evidences the absolute interdependence of man. Reclusiveness is dwarfing to man's best qualities. We believe that no other period in the life of a man is the time more opportune for the fostering of such qualities than during the years of his college career.
