T 2 X P t if V , -J .tai PHI DELTA CHI Founded University of Michigan, 1883 Active Chapters-Nineteen Flower-Red Carnation Colors-Gold and Dregs of Wine Publication--The Communicator Psi Chapter established at Des Moines University, 1921 After two and a half years of active service and a record well worth the time spent the Kava Kava Klub closed its career, only to be installed as the baby chapter of Phi Delta Chi, a national Pharmaceutical fraternity, the largest and only one of its kind in the United States. On December 10th- when Psi chapter was installed the club had reached the milestone which had often seemed so far distant. For what Phi Delta Chi stands has long been nationally known and only remains for the local chapter to lend an ever helping hand to the course. The installation was a very impressive affair, from the chamber of horrors to the solemn lessons of the ritual. John W. Million, President, and James R. Vaughn, Business Manager of our University, were present at the Installation Banquet as guests. Presi- dent Million acting as teastmaster, toasts were responded to by Messrs. Thurston, Kagy, Galloway, Parker, Fifield, Eakle and Vaughn. The Communicator has to say: In the evening an elaborate installation banquet was served in the dining room of the Klub House. A most sump- tuous collation was spread for the new members and visitors. The pledges served the viands in a most exemplary manner. The toasts were full of words of wisdom and the banquet was proclaimed a complete success by all. It seemed impossible to tear away from the pleasant associates but all good things must come to an end. Even at that, the party was not officially broken up until long after midnight. After such a night of pleasure the gray dawn of Sunday morning came all too soon, but the train for Iowa City left at 8:30 a. m., so the comfortable bed was bidden early adieu. The members of Psi feel that a great deal of credit is due to the students and administration of the University in helping us to obtain the chapter, and we hope that such spirit of cooperation and friendliness will always be a guide to us-and make our fraternity a real asset to our Department and University. llIlIIIIIllIIIlIlIlIlIllllIIIllIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllIIIIIIllIIIIllIlIIlllIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT 75 IllIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllIIIIlllllllIIHIIllllllllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllll

A' 'AA G Aki ALPHA GAMMA KAPPA FRATERNITY In 1919, a group of young men, feeling the need of an organization that would form a closer fraternal fellowship among its members, established Alpha Gamma Kappa. To group together a small number of men with fairly similar tastes and ideas, to unite them in view of a common ideal, to have them live together- this is the great educational advantage of the fraternity. The real molding of character comes through the intimacies of continued companionship, not through the passing acquaintanceships, and true comradeship is the bond which unites brother with brother in a real fraternity. College spirit is the esprit de corps among college men, the feeling shared by all who have breathed the same college atmosphere. That each success- ful college or university must have a college atmosphere and that this atmosphere must find its expression in college spirit is self evident. It is therefore the purpose of Alpha Gamma Kappa to strive for a closer fraternal fellowship, and to help and assist Des Moines University in all its activities, however not with the idea of my university right or wrong, but my university when she is wrong I will do everythinggin my power to make her right.
