Since that date, September 26, 1871, Phi Delta Theta has played a vital role in the history of the college. This past year, the Phi Delts have once again had a very significant year. The awards included the Intra-fraternity sing trophy and second place float trophy and third place skit trophy during Homecoming. Phi Delta Theta's now well known Hi Fi's have kept a busy schedule in the past year . One of their larger engagements was with the Iowa State Education Association's Convention in Des Moines.

Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded at Richmond College, now the University of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia on November 1, 1901. The fraternity was founded by twelve men and sixty-two years later there were more than 170,000 brothers over the world and 170 chapters at colleges and universities across the country. The local chapter, Iowa Alpha, was founded on February 1, 1913. This year Iowa Alpha celebrated its 50th Anniversary. Grand National Preside, Bedford Black was the guest of honor and the main speaker. Three of Iowa Alpha's original sixteen founders were also present at the celebration. They were: Mr. Albert Neutzman, Mr. Samuel L. Hagie, and Mr . Columbus Hayes. This year proved to be a memorable year in the history of the Iowa Alpha chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Many of the brothers received honors in such fields as football (16 members participated), Blue Key, a national honor fraternity (six members) and in intramurals on this campus. Albert Firestein served as a cocaptain on the varsity football team, while Bill Panje and Charles Cleary have received the honor of serving as captains for the 1963 season. The Sig Eps also sponsored such activities as the Heart Fund Drive, which is an annual event, and also work out at die Mental Health Institute here in Mount Pleasant. There are two new additions to the chapter this year, they are Mrs. Martha Goody, the new housemother, and Mr. Robert Jacobs, the new faculty advisor.
