EDWARD PAGLERINI During the l942-43 college year, Phi Sigma Nu continued to be one of the most outstanding and active fraternities on the campus. Starting the year with a nucleus of twelve members, Phi Sig entertained its pro- spective candidates at a most interesting smoker. At the end of Pledge Week nine- teen successful candidates were elected members of the fraternity, bringing the mem- bership up to thirty-one. On Friday night, October 30, Phi Sigma Nu's Harvest Hop was successfully held in Bryant Auditorium. Again, on a Friday night, December ll, the fraternity held its annual dinner dance at the Metacomet Country Club. On that occasion Malcolm Holmes served as toastmaster. The fraternity held its annual Stag in the Crown Hotel on the night of January 27, l943. At this meeting new officers were elected and our honorary faculty mem- ber, Mr. William F. Shors, now Lieutenant lS.G.l William F. Shors, USN., was pre- sented with a farewell gift. After that, twenty-two members left the fraternity for service with the Armed Forces of the United States, leaving nine members to carry on. I i Sixty-five

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

The red rose is the flower of the sorority and the Greek Letters of the sorority stand for Sisterhood, Learning, and Honor. The Formal Initiation Banquet was held in the Old France. In November, the sorority joined with their brother fraternity, Beta Sigma Chi, for the Formal Pledgee Dance at the Crown Hotel. Mrs. Margaret Andrade of the Azores spoke on South American customs to the members and their guests in February. The sorority gave a dance for Servicemen at Salisbury Hall in March. They also attended the Ice Follies and several performances at the Met. Throughout the year Sigma Lambda Theta girls went bowling, swimming, and roller skating. They are known on the Campus by their white sweaters and crew hats with red Greek letters.
