Recording Secretary In the year 1923, the day-students of the city of Washington attending the uni- versity were inspired by the various other clubs then in existence on the campus to undertake something of the sort for themselveseto organize the day-students into a stronger and more active body. With this in mind, the founders drew up plans for the creation of the club. The first meeting was held in September, 1924. Upon installa- tion of the oHicers the club adopted the name of Senators Club. Each year the club gives many social functions, the most noteworthy being its annual Thanksgiving Day Dance, its Tea Dance, its Smoker, and its Installation Banquet in June. These functions, as well as all others, have always been huge successes. The true spirit of its first members has been continuous and to-day we have the Senators Club, a body of fine students, flne fellows, and flne university men. Fin; Row.

Omega Chapter was for- merly the Dod Noon Club which was admitted into the Phi Kappa Fraternity upon obtaining a house on the campus. Phi Kappa was founded at Brown University in 1889 and since then twenty-four active chapters and eighteen alumni chapters have been added, making it the most powerful Catholic fraternity in the country. At present there are thirty-one members in Phi Kappa, ten seniors, eleven juniors and ten sophomores. Of these thirty-one, twenty-one are residents of the house, the requirement being that a member must be a junior or senior in order to live in the house. The members of Omega Chapter are prominent in all fields of extra curricular activity at the University.

The charter membership con- sisted of twenty-five members. The club is rich in tradition. These traditions include the annual Utopian Ball, the Senior Banquet and a democratic spirit which was not restricted to the club itself but rather extended to the University at large. The Utopian ideals and aims are summed up in the two ideas, namely, Loyalty and Service. Since the Clubis inauguration, its members have taken a deep interest in extra curricular activities and they have taken prominent parts in every phase of University life. The promotion of the best interests of the University and of the student body has always been the unselfish motive behind their activities.
