These several chapters are bound together by the National Organization of the fraternity and work as a unit for the good of Gsteopathy. The student in school knows more of the local policies of the fraternities than he does of those carried out through the National Chapter. The National Organization is ever watchf ful for measures which may benefit Osteopathy in the eyes of the public. Among the local projects of the organization is the Scholarship Cup. This cup is pref sented to the fraternity having the highest scholastic rating for the year. The Senior Award which is given to one man from each graduating class, is another recognition of merit that the fraternity sponsors. Many of the social functions of the school also are sponsored by Sigma Sigma Phi. ln order to carry out its aims, the fraternity has attempted to select men who would be able to contribute to these principles. Scholarship then is not the only prerequisite for membership. Leadership and initiative must also be found in a man before he may become a Sigma Sigma Phi. i 'i 'Il,lj1 'i'--'ig' ii167l

This organization was the outgrowth of an opinion, in the minds of a group of stu' dents, that an organization with ideals of high scholastic ability and good moral character would act as an incentive and as a stimulus to the student while in school. As a result, this group met on the evening of December 5th, 1924, elected oflicers, and drafted a conf stitution. Thus was born the organization known as Psi Sigma Alpha. The principal object of the fraternity is to establish and to promote better scholastic standing in our colleges, thus indirectly improving the Osteopathic Profession. Awards are given each semester to the Lower Sophomore and Lower junior, who, in the opinion of three members of the Faculty, excells in scholarship, leadership, personality, interest in osteopathy, and osteopathic possibilities. In addition to these awards, special recognition is given the Graduating Senior who has attained the highest scholastic record during the four years. The fraternity's bifmonthly meetings are conducted on plans similar to those of the wellfknown dinner clubs of today. Individuals representing different walks of life are inf vited to address the fraternity on subjects to which they have devoted their lives, thereby giving the members an intimate insight into other fields of endeavor. To be elected to membership a student must show outstanding scholastic ability. more than ordinary interest in the Practice of Osteopathy, and a good moral character.
