Finesse, not merely in cooking but in sewing. home man- agement, interior decorating, child care. home nursing, meal planning. dietetics, and so many other phases of homemaking, are the interests 0E these Smith-Hughes majors. Whereas the Home Economics Club is for all those enrolled in the department of Home Economics. the ACT fraternity is a national honor, my organization. Eligibility is to those having fifteen hours of Home Economics with no grade lower than B in that department and a C average in other subjects. An appreciation of art was part of the interesting programs this year's calendar provided The members familiarized themselves with such great masters as Michaelangelc. Van Gogh, and Millet. They also acquainted themselves with such craft activities as leather tooling. etching. the mak- ing of desk sets and portfolios. Perhaps no higher ideals have been set up by any other organization than the Hve-fold purpose of Alpha Omicron Tau: 1. To stimulate interest in the art of homemaking. 2. To develop active and eHicient leadership. 3. To inform girls of opportunities offered in Home Economics as a profession. 4. To bring students in proper contact with the greater organizations of Home Economics. 5. To promote sociability among students in the department.

mgxxssxxvuxsxxxxxxxxxxxxs THE COLLEGIAN xsxxsssxxxxsxxxxsxsuxxxVa TRI-BETA Kg; HE Epsilon Chapter of Beta Beta Beta. National Honorary Biologicai , Fraternity, has had a happy and progressive year. This year Epsilon Chapter has been enjoying the new Tri-Beta Suite at Biology Hall. It is a great step forward to have three grand rooms in which the Chapter may hold meetings and social gatherings. Much of the success of the program this year may be attributed to the very able guest and member speakers. It is Tri-Beta's custom to enjoy monthly luncheon meetings at which time Speakers present various new topics or experiences along biological lines. During the past year TrivBeta has been host to scientiStS. doctors. professors, business men. and students. The annual Tri-Beta banquet offered an opportunity for all Alumnae members to return for an evening of pleasurable reunion and entertain- ment. Less formal than the banquet is the annual pot luck get-together which is also enjoyed by Alumnae as well as the active members. Another of the annual events of Tri-Beta is the presentation of a research paper along Biological lines by each of the Senior members. The papers are usually presented to the other members of the Fraternity at regular meetings. Tri-Beta has for its members those who have completed sixteen hours of work in the field of Biology. and who have maintained a high scholastic standing in all of their other academic work. Each year Epsilon Chapter adds to its membership by admitting Honorary Members who have been outstanding in endeavors related to the Held of Biology. WKWMKWKW Page 25.

tthmmxxmmsw THE COLLEGIAN xxxxmmxxxxsmxxxxsxssa FRATERNITIES . .. SORORITIES .iNE of the most enjoyable and yet worthwhile aspects of a college U 5 education is the formation of new friendships within the student body. One of the influential factors in this direction would be the contact realized in the fraternity and sorority groups. Through this association the student has the opportunity of broadening his soeial horizon and his understanding of people. Our bewildered freshman has his Hrst encounter with fraternity life during the first few weeks of the fall term. He Ends himself the possessor of a striking personality and capacity for great popularity. but he is actu- aIly entering upon that delirious siege familiarly known as rushing season. His second thrill is experienced when he has expressed his desire to join a particular group and he becomes a pledge, and is placed on probar tion. This pledge period is not really one of lilacs and Iollypops for our Frosh meets daily tests of his patience and endurance. Hell Week looms up rapidly enough during the early weeks of the second semester and there are many novel experiences, embarassing at times, which the pledge must meet. The high light of this pre-fratemity career appears when the day of formal initiation arrives. In a very inspiring service. the student pledge is initiated into active membership in his chosen group. Once he is taken into the bonds of his fraternity he is instilled into a deep sense of loyalty and brotherhood and thereby claims his place among his brothers. Carthage has no national social fraternities or sororities but sees enough success with its three local sororities. Chi Delta Kappa. Beta Kappa. and Pi Phi Nu. and the five local fraternities. Sadhe Aleph. Theta Pi. Theta Tau Sigma. Lambda Sigma Kappa and Alpha Kappa Pi.
