BAC We ' re BAC . . . Old traditions new ideas Every year, alt the fraternities on campus prepare vigorously for Greek Week . Here, students cheer enthusiastically as Sig Ep tugs against the unknown . One of the Greek Week activities is volley ball. Frank Antonides helps serve towards the championship for Pi Kap. Pledging is indeed a part of the Greek life , especially at the Abbey. It requires a great amount of dedication and hard work, but the end results are rewarding. Clad in their visors are some of the members of the Phi Kappa Theta 1984 pledge class. 7

Fraternities, along with their little sister- hoods, are indeed a tradition. This tradition began in 1776, on the campus of William and Mary college. To- day, there are over 100 fraternities and sororities throughout the United States. The Abbey is the home of four major fraternities and five sisterhoods including: Sigma Phi Epsilon, Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Kappa Theta, Alpha Parties and big bashes are part of the Greek tradition . Here. Jim Carlough and Ellen Gannon go out in full force for the Sig Ep Halloween party. Phi Omega, and Lambda Xi. They all pride themselves with secrecy and unity and their goals are not only of personal and social development, but also that of spiri- tual and intellectual growth. That is what Greeks are all about, here in the Abbey. They are instilled with old traditions, yet thrive on new ideas and, in 1985, they worked together to be better than ever.
