Martni I For more than a century and a half, election to IMii Beta Kappa has been a recognition of intellectual capacities well enif)loyed, especially in the acquiring of an education in the liberal arts and sciences. Because of the remarkably high proportion of famous names on the roll of Phi Beta Kappa, admission to its ranks may reasonably be held to indicate also potentialities of further distinction. Phi Beta Kappa was founded December 5, 1776, at the College of ' illiam and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia. It was the first Creek-letter society. At the present time it has 141 chapters with a total membership of 124,000, of whom 98,000 are living. Gamma of Indiana Chapter was founded in 1911, and has a li ing membership of 1,275. Election of students as members in course is in the fall and in the spring. The highest ten per cent of the candidates for the A.B. degree who have completed at least two full years of residence at Indiana Uni ersity are eligible for election. October, 1947 Jack E.

Jr. For sheer activity and enthusiasm, the Indiana Univer- sity chapter of Sigma Delta Chi hit one of the fastest paces on campus during the year. Although a comparatively small group, they managed to sponsor successfully a long list of projects. Among them were the Powder Bowl football game, given with the help of Theta Sigma Phi, national women ' s journal- istic fraternity; the forty-sixth annual Blanket Hop; the High School Newspaper Cont est; Tlic HcUbox news- paper; The Book-of-the-Month Awards for outstanding journalistic achievement; the April Fool edition of The Indiana Daily Student; and the Gridiron Banquet, which is modeled after the Washington Press Clubs famous dinner. The annual Brown Derby and Leather Medal a ards ' ere made at the banquet. Early last fall Sigma Delta Chi assumed ownership of the campus humor magazine. After publishing two is- sues under the name Date, they changed the magazine and revived the name of the old Crimson Bid], vintage of the roaring twenties. A national professional journalistic fraternity, Sigma Delta Chi was founded at I ePauw University in 1909. The local chapter was established in 1914 from the Uni- versity Press Club. Thompson and Campbell always find them- .selvcs more interesting than W.G.C.D. SIGMA DELTA CHI 25 I
