Happa phi Three floats emphasizing team- work wore sponsored by Kappa Phi in the Homecoming Parade. This float recreated tho famous photo- graph of tho Marines at Iwo lima. The Kappa Phi organization, created in 1944, this year topped fellow fraternities with a membership of seventy-six. In 1948 they adopted red and white satin jackets as their official garb. The first activity on the social calendar of the fraternity was the annual rush party held on September 27 in the Gymnasium in conjunction with the other three fraternities. Several days later new pledges at an in- formal initiation were instructed to prepare three floats for the Homecoming Parade on October 14. The next month was highlighted by a hay-ride to the Kiwanis Camp for the Kappa Phis and their dates. On December 5 the Salem Lutheran Church was the scene of their formal initiation banquet. Following the ceremonies a joint Sigma Rho-Kappa Phi dance was held at the college. Front row (left to right): Lindquist. Soiffert. Hargreaves. Wackor, Hartman, fish, Kracmcr. Kochor.
