On February 11, 1957, Professor T. Henry Murphy and 16 students established Theta Beta Chi Fraternity on the C. W. Post College campus. Three years later Theta Beta Chi became the Pi-Tetarton Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity. As a local fraternity, it estab- lished the tradition of the red blazer as the ofiicial fra- ternity attire. Another tradition which it set was the annual ttSpring Dance.n . The fraternity stresses brotherhood, scholarshlp and character, and tries to guide itself by, and live uPtO! these three principles.

During this period, this industrious group strove to help the students, school and community. Their many accomplishments are exemplihed by assistance to the school and faculty in the form of rendering services at student registration; acts of charity, by establishing an annual food drive for the benefit of the Saint Christopher Orphanage in Sea Cliff; promoting brotherhood through active participation in inter-fraternity sports; enhancing the college life through many social functions and sup- porting the school in many other ways whenever pos- sible. To preserve the memory of their beloved brother, PhiTau Skip Soltesz, who passed away in December of 1960 they established an annual scholarship to be awarded tc; the outstanding engineering student at C. W. Post Col- lege. In conjunction with this award, they set up an annual rafHe drawing to raise the money for the scholar- ship. Phi Tau accepted their hrst pledge class in October of 1960.
