CLIFFORD MASKOVVSKY Upon looking back over the fleeting months, Sigma Lambda Pi finds it has had a most gratifying season. The fraternity started by inducting several new members. At the first meeting, officers were elected for the fall semester and plans immediately started for the year's activities. In January, Sigma Lambda Pi held its annual Sno' Ball , one of Bryant's largest and gayest dances. Miss Janet Newell was crowned Snow Queen. Sigma Lambda Pi's year opened with a smoker to which all pledgees were invited to introduce them to the members and customs of the fraternity. Then came the Pledgee Banquet at which the new members were officially inducted into the fraternity with a most colorful ceremony. Sigma Lambda Pi held its formal dinner dance to- gether with its sister sorority Beta Sigma Gamma. There were several other social events and they the year closed with a farewell banquet for the brothers. Sixty-one

MARJORIE KOVNER The group of merry faces pictured above are those of the members of Beta Sigma Gamma-a sorority organized for educational and social purposes, and fulfilling these purposes admirably. Beta Sigma Gamma started the college year off with a bang when one of the first weeks was dedicated to the pledging of new members, which proved to be an hilarious and most enjoyable week. This was followed by a Pledgee Formal which was held at the Sheraton l-lotel. In February, the sorority sponsored a raffle, awarding defense stamps to the lucky prize winner. To aid the Bryant Service Club in its wonderful work, Beta Sigma Gamma repeated its donation to them this year. Mid-year l943l And another week of pledging new members, being followed by a formal initiation. On several occasions the sorority girls had the opportunity of entertaining ser- vice men. And an active part was taken by the girls in sports, such as, bowling and swimming. To differentiate this sorority, the girls sported blazer jackets in the blue and white sorority colors. Orchids to Miss Florence Cook, faculty advisor, for her excellent advice and assistance in making this organization such a success. She has been a real, true friend to each and every girl.

MARION FITZGERALD With the gardenia as its flower and the green and white as its colors, Kappa Delta Kappa started the Bryant year overflowing with vitality and enthusiasm. The sorority was originally founded as a national organization in l929, but later became a state organization. On October 8, a Rush Party was held in the Cafeteria. The following week saw a group of new pledgees undergoing the strains of initiation and the green and white paddles. The Formal Initiation Ritual was held at the Biltmore Hotel on December 3. The new members then disposed of their pigtails to attend the Formal Pledgee Dance at the Hotel Sheraton on December 8. In November, KDK held the Annual Thanksgiving Dance with Tau Ep. This, too, proved to be another most successful affair. Early in February a banquet was held at the Crown Hotel to celebrate Mary Walker's birthday and Barbara Higgins' enlistment in the VVAAC's. In April, another Rush Party was held, and the Formal Initiation was conducted at the Biltmore. ' There were many parties and informal gatherings held throughout the year, all of which proves that Kappa Delta Kappa is living up to its name in the Bryant social life.
