DONALD J. MULLEN BANG!-Tau Epsilon was off to a banner year, Founded in l929, as a national organization, the Beta Sigma Chapter of Tau Epsilon Fraternity has been one of the leaders in social and scholastic activities ever since. Today, because of the existing world conflict, many Tau Epsilon men are still out in front fighting in all parts of the world for Uncle Sam. ln the latter part of September, Tau Epsilon was off to a successful start by giv- ing a Smoker in the Auditorium. This was followed by the Sacred Ritual and Banquet which was held at the Crown l-lotel. Then came November and Tau Ep pooled re- sources with Kappa Delta Kappa Sorority to give their Fourth Annual Thanksgiving Dance, Naturally, all awaited the coming of December, which brought forth the tra- ditional Pledgee Formal Dinner Dance held at the l-lotel Sheraton. During the year, Tau Epsilon held a banquet at the University Club, and the brothers will always remember the fine entertainment provided by their fraternal ad- visor, Mr. E. Gardner Jacobs. Soon Spring rolled around and Tau Ep gave a percentage of the profits of its Second Annual Victory Dance to the Bryant Service Club. The activities of the year came to a successful conclusion at a banquet held at the Biltmore l-lotel for the installation of the new officers for the coming year. Sixty-th ree

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.

ElLEEN MCDONALD Sigma lota Chi is a national sorority founded in l903 by Captain Greer A. Duncan of the United States Navy. Beta Theta Chapter, located here at Bryant College, is one of sixteen chapters active in colleges throughout the United States. Sigma lota Chi has two definite purposes: To perfect in everyday living the meaning of the word SISTERHOOD, and to form lasting friendships among its mem- bers. These are attained by working and playing together. Beta Theta is also socially active. The season started with the Pledgee's Dance at the Narragansett l-lotel where the pledgees were royally entertained by the mem- bers. ln December Founder's Day Banquet was held. Mrs. Harry L. Jacobs was in- stalled as patroness. ln April Beta Theta had a get-together with the alumnae chap- ter at the Narragansett l-lotel to meet and entertain Miss Lois James, new Grand Worthy Alumnae Secretary. Of course, everyone has heard about the dance for Ser- vicemen which was held in May in Bryant's own gym. Needless to say, everyone had the best of fun. In all activities Sigma lota Chi has been fortunate in having an understanding and patient advisor. Thanks a lot, Mrs. l-lammond. You'll know Sigma lota Chi members by their colorful purple caps and sweaters with the yellow S l X ' sl
