Young. 9ntefttevuvutif, Go-uttcil Intersorority Council is an organization composed of fifteen members, one junior and one senior from each sorority on campus, and the president. flic council decides all questions pertaining to inter-sorority associations and promotes a bond ol friendship between the girls of the Fine Arts School and Margaret Morrison. The first and most important function of the group each year is to issue rushing rules. This year it deferred the rushing season in the Arts school until mid-term, turning from the usual period in October so as not to conflict with the plan of studies. This has been a busy year for the council. It gave two non-rushing teas which officially opened the rushing seasons in the two schools; it sponsored a chapel in October; in February it held the annual Inter-sorority Formal, at the Hotel Schenley—a dance eagerly anticipated by sorority girls; it helped make the December Women's Guild dance a success, for each sorority had a booth at which the groups helped raise money for the Guild scholarship fund; and it supervised the participation of all the sororities in the annual Greek Sing and Swing. Windup for the year were the activities of the council at the Spring Carnival, when the sororities attended booths at the street dance and contributed an afternoon of fun with their buggy races.

QaumUi OFFICERS Preside i 1 Ralph Martin Vice President J. Riley Fowler Secretary James Darnall Treasurer Frank Hesch Social Chairman Robert Webb To enable Greek letter fraternities to express themselves through a central body, the In ter fraternity Council was established on the Tech campus. Each house is represented on the council by two men—a senior and a junior representative. These men determine the action to be taken and the events to be sponsored by the fraternities throughout the year. I his year considerable investigation was made into the idea of cooperative buying by the different fraternity houses. Then plans were completed for a general rushing manual to be sent to next fall’s freshmen. Under this new plan the incoming students are given pamphlets, published by the council and giving accurate information concerning the present members and their national affiliations, from which they could obtain facts about the various chapters on the campus. Council conducted two successful dances during the year—the Inlcrfratcrnilv Informal, held at Thistle Hall, and the Interfraternity Formal at the Hotel Schenley. [28]
