SIGMA GAMMA EPSILON Gcttint; tin- IkiuIcIcis down to a fine point And the earth was created in 4004 B.C. Student membership in Rho chapter of Sigma Gamma Epsilon, a national honorary professional fraternity for men, is limited to those students majoring in geology. These students must meet high requirements based on scholastic a ' erage, leadership, and personality. Since a small lapse during the war, Rho chapter has built its activities to the par of 1940, when it was voted the most active chapter of the national fraternity. Twice a month seminars are sponsored so students can review papers, discuss field work they have done, show movies, and do other educational activities. Every week an in- formal coffee hour is gi en in order that students and facult - members may discuss those immediate problems that confront them. Both local field hips for new stu- dents of geology and extended trips that attract advanced students from many unixersities are gi en. The frater- nity brings noted speakers from all over the world to give talks on various phases of geology and the asso- ciated fields. The social functions of the fraternity consist mainly of an annual Christmas Party, a spring picnic, a Smoker at the beginning of each semester, an Initiation Banquet, and a Founders Dav Dinner.
