October, 1945 BE TA SI GM A HE Delta Chapter of Beta Sigma has since its inception in l927 been a bulwark of the social life of the College. The fraternity was founded on the sound Catholic principles of loyalty, fidelity and good fellowship. Beta Sigma exists primarily to perpetuate the good name of Manhattan and to foster Cath- olic Action.

Always a promoter of Manhattan's best interests, Beta Sigma has become as much a part of the true Manhattan spirit as any other 2 campus organization. The membership of this select and esoteric group has in- cluded a great many of Manhattan's famous and favorite sons. These men have been the leaders of the various campus clubs, the Student Council, and members of the honor societies. Others have distinguished themselves in the field of writing, debating and dramatics. The interests of the college have been paramount in the hearts of Beta Sigma men.
