Sisters of the Shield and Diamond play a significant role in the Eta Tau Chapter. With a current active mem- bership of around 40, the HPikettes will continue to grow in numbers and importance to the fraternity. The Pikettes participate in most of Eta Tau Chapter's activities, especially speical projects and social activities. Some of the special projects for the brothers this year includes the Thanks- giving dinner, a bean supper and picnic. Social activities the Pikettes partici- pate in include the annual animal week of which half of the proceeds go to the Montgomery County Animal Shelter and half to Muscular Dystrophy; Pika annual beer softball tournament; and the newly founded Pika Pool Tourna- ment. Other projects include helping brothers run concession stands at APSU basketball games, spring week- end and the i'famous Pike dances.

Sigma Chi sponsors derby week and the canoe race Below e Members of Sigma Chi attend the Martin Twin during dollar night. Bottom - Dancing seems to be a favorite pasttime of the Sigma Chis, as they gather at an open dance at the Jaycee Center. In its fourth year as a social fraternity at APSU, Sigma Chi has remained one of the most popular and most active fraternities on campus. Annual ac- tivities taking place during the year were Derby Day, the Christmas party for needy children and the Spring Canoe Race. Each activity was a success with many pleasant surprises. . This year's Derby Day competition featured four teams of girls including three sororities and one independent. Competition was spirited this year in all the events and all the girls that participated had a lot of fun. Chi Omega sorority came out on top as the overall winner and Susan Hampton of Chi Ome- ga was this year's Derby Darling. The real winners at Derby Day were the two orga- nizations that benefitted from the money raised in the Derby Darling contest. Big Brothers of Clarks- ville and Wallace Village for Children, a Sigma Chi sponsored foundation for children with minimal brain damage, were the recipients of the $2,200 that was raised by the girls. This was a new record total for Derby Day and the Sigs at Eta Xi were very excited about it. The Christmas party for needy children was a special treat for both the children and the brothers. This annual event was co-sponsored by Sigma Chi and Montgomery Ward. Each child was taken to Montgomery Ward to shop for themselves, and afterwards they were taken back to the Sigma Chi house for a party. Shakeyls donated 20 large pizzas for the party. In the spring, the Eta Xi Sigs sponsored their annu- al Canoe Race on the Cumberland River. As in past years, this year's race was a success.- Several can- oers participated and a large crowd of people gath- ered on the banks of the Cumberland to watch the race take place. Another event that was staged in the spring was the White Rose Ball. This annual event was the high- light social event of the year. It marked the end of the reign of chapter sweetheart Laura Gentry. In the Little Sigma's organization, 35 new girls were initiated into the little sisters group. These girls worked hard this year by supportingall the activities of the brothers. The little sisters also gave the broth- ers several parties including a Thanksgiving dinner. The best party that they gave was the Brothers Appreciation Party in the spring.
