While its purpose is the serious one of en- deavoring to encourage and reward outstanding students, its activities are largely so- cial. Annually, the first event of the season is the Homecoming Breakfast the Sunday morning after the Homecoming game, for all graduates of the fraternity. Another event was a party held at Cambria Pines Lodge. Six new members were taken in at the end of the first quarter, and five at the end of the second quarter.
