In januar) 1944, a group of men representing the various fraternities at Hahnemann and feel- in the need for an organization to bind more closel) the fraternal spirit of the six active fia- ternities, founded the Interfraternit) Council. The motive behind the organization is to foster fellowship, bring about bettei understanding, and promote a harmonious relationship among all fraternities at the school. The Council is composed oi twelve men. two from each fraternity, one a member o) the Seniot and the othei a membei of the Junior class. The officers of the Council are a president and a sec retary-treasurer. Though the Council has been in existence but a short time, ii has successfully achieved most ol its aims. The organization lias weathered the storm concerning the election ol class officers b adopting the policy ol excluding all fraternity politics from the business ol the Inlci lialcrnitv Council. Willi ihis in mind, the Council con- ducted its second lushing season with complete success nuclei the newly adopted system. Prior to the next rushing season the Council shall have printed a pamphlet containing a briel histor) and statement ol the ideals, aims, and accomplishments ol each fraternity. An outline of the purpose ol the Interfraternit) Council and its constitution will also be recorded in the pam- phlet. We believe it will serve as an invaluable aid to the Freshman in selecting the fraternit) ol his c hoice. On December 9th, the Council sponsored the c ' collcl Interfraternit) Ball at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. It was considered a greatei success than the initial function and it is our hope that the subsequent Halls will continue to be the out- standing function of (he social calendar at Hah- nemann dining the first semester. 1 he departing Senioi representatives are the last ol the chartet members ol the Council. They have formulated the plans and successfully car- ried the organization through its first two years ol existence. Ii is the hope ol all the members who replace them thai the) shall be capable ol continuing the work foi which this organization was founded. councu OFFICERS President Eugene M.

Alpha Sigma Fraternity was founded by a group of students of the New York Homeopathic Medical College in 1893. Subsequently, nine other chapters were formed at various other medical colleges throughout the country. Beta Chapter was founded tour cais latei In Hahne- mann students. Since that time, Alpha Sigma has been continuously active at Hahnemann and now boasts a large number of members among the faculty as well as hundreds among the gradu- ates. Student membership at present includes nearly one hunched brothers. Activities of the fraternit) include business meetings, monthly dinner meetings, several dances, and an annual smoker. Those ol the medical profession recognize probably more than any other group, the neces shy for intimate social relationship in the foster- ing ol man ' s hopes, ideals, and inspirations. Ihus. we of Alpha Sigma hold this relationship as basic in the importance of our fraternity and we believe that by its virtue we shall be aided much in our efforts to become physicians well worthy of our profession. 25
