KAPPA SIGMA KAPPA The Kappa Sigma Kappa fraternity is very old as it had its start in Virginia in 1867. In 1945 the local Omicron Pi fraternity on the Hill became affiliated with and became the Kappa Sigma Kappa fraternity which is both national and international in nature. As our slogan says, we are growing both in membership and in activities. The Christmas party for the children of the Children ' s Shelter is an annual affair that we try to carry out in order to help someone. The fra- ternity tries to stress help instead of the traditional hazing. Officers are: President, Robert Madison; Vice President, Dabney Jack- son; Secretary, Stephen Chase; Treasurer, Richard Frame; Advisor, Dr. Howard. FIRST ROW, left to right: L. W.
