The 1963-64 school year just ending must surely make us feel that we are a part of a large circle, since a circle has neither beginning nor ending. It was not just the beginning for the new pledge class, and not the ending for the graduating seniors. The starting for the pledges must have occurred with the first thoughts of selecting a life’s work; for the seniors it will end only when their individual goals in life are realized. We in Xi Psi Phi fraternity regard success not as a destination but as a journey. Our fraternity was a series of successes this year as we enjoyed all the facets of fraternity life. Fraternity activities have two aspects: educational and social. The educational aspect is achieved through month- ly meetings with guest speakers and clinicians lecturing on a wide variety of topics. The social aspect involves a monthly party. We first met the freshmen at a lake party, followed by a mid-week smoker at the Holiday Inn. Rush week was terminated with a Levee Party. Other monthly socials included the pledge welcoming dance at the Executive Inn, the IFC party at the Adolphus Hotel, a beatnik party, a fishing trip, and, finally, the Red Rose Spring Formal and Banquet at the Crystal Ballroom of the Baker Hotel. The contribution of the Wives’ Club was most worthy of mention. Not only did the club lend able assistance in the planning and preparation of social functions, but also carried out its own projects. For their Christmas project the wives presented a well supplied Christmas basket to a needy family. They also held a rummage sale to raise money, for their activities. For most of us the big circle is still unbroken, and we can look forward to another success-filled year of fraternity life. 120

The Interfraternity Council was founded by the officers of Psi Omega, Delta Sigma Delta and Xi Psi Phi to promote good will and brotherhood among the three fraternities. The IFC controls and regulates important matters such as rush expendi- tures, pledging, rush week activities and fraternity life in general on the Baylor campus. The IFC brings the fraternities at Baylor together socially, as well as profes- sionally. This year the IFC sponsored two dances—a “Welcome to Baylor Dance” for the incoming freshmen and a “Christmas Dance.” These parties were well at- tended by all fraternities. 121
