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.

The motive of the faculty and administrative staff of Bryant College in sponsor- ing the Key Society is to stir the scholastic ambition of the student body.
