PanUUrOc Council Front Row: Second Row: Latterman, V. Taylor, D. Price, J. Clark, J. Brunn, L. Harris, M. Goss, J. Kane, E. Swaney, S. Panhellenic Council is the governing body for women's fraternities on the Tech campus. It was started two years ago in place of Inter Sorority Council, which was disbanded when national women's fraternities replaced the local groups. The members include a junior and a senior representative from each fraternity. The purpose of the Council is to make and to enforce rules pertaining to rushing, to schedule parties for each fraternity during the rushing season in the fall, and to determine the number of girls each group may bid during the year. Panhellenic sponsors “coffee hours” once a month whereby fraternity women have an opportunity to meet the freshman girls. The Council has a “non rush” tea in the fall for all girls interested in joining a fraternity. Several evening meetings with the fraternity sponsors have proved very successful for exchanging ideas and settling any problems whicn have come up during the year. This year Panhellenic is working harder than ever with IF Council to help make Sing and Swing the big event it used to be on campus. All in all, Panhellenic Council coordinates the activities of the fraternities and insures a smooth rushing season. OFFICERS President........

OFFICERS President Ted Caridis Vice-President . . Robert Graham Secretary Emil Prieto Treasurer Danny Franks As a step to converting Tech back to its pre'war program. Inter fraternity Council was reinstated as the directing body of the fraternities. Thus, I. F. replaced the Council of Fraternity Presidents which was created during the emergency. The major purpose of the Council is to assist the fraternities in their drive to regain their pre-war peak. A large part of this plan consists in unifying rushing and regulation of pledge training. Important too is the effort of Interfraternity Council and the Administration to jointly work out fraternity problems. Through the Council’s efforts those fraternities which had to close because of wartime difficulties are returning to Tech's campus. Through the trust invested in it, I. F. acts as a coordb nator and governing body for all the fraternities. Tech's social season was enhanced by the Interfraternity Dance, held at the Hotel Webster Hall and the Greek Sing and Swing which helped liven the Spring semester. Both affairs proved to be very successful and were enjoyed by all who attended. Aside from sponsoring these social events, I. F. also published a Freshman Rushing Pamphlet. Starting anew, Interfraternity Council has taken its first large step in the pro' motion and preservation of fraternity ideals. 26

It is made up of the presidents and vice-presidents of the upperclass dormitories and the presidents of the Freshman houses. During the second semester one girl is chosen from each Freshman house to be a non-voting representative. Women's Dorm Council is one of the most efficient organizations on campus. Each Wednesday it meets in the Union to try to solve the many problems that concern dorm life. In Dorm Council's hands rests the authority to make all decisions concerning dormitory rules and regulations. This year Dorm Council sponsored a party for the freshman and a dessert bridge for the housemothers. At the Freshman Party, each freshman house presented a five-minute skit, for the entertainment of all present. Dorm Council has joined with Men's Dorm Council to activate the Dorm Bagpiper, a newspaper which is printed exclusively for dorm students. 28
