ROYALTY There was once a time when one could count on seeing a coronation for prac- tically every campus event. Most Eligibles, Best Dressed or other royalty is not as popular on today's campus as it has been in the past. Across the nation the coronation of royalty for any given event is on the decline. At Midland Daria Phillips reigned as the only Greek queen when she was crowned at the Theta-Phi formal in Omaha. The other Greek sponsored dances elected to discontinue the tra- dition this year. 106 QUEEN DARIA PHILLIPS Mike Hulse

Inter-Sorority Council, consisting of sorority presidents and vice presi- dents, began the year by submitting to the Student Development Com- mittee a statement on the purpose which Midland's sororities serve. It stated that the role of the Greek system at the college exists to pro- vide a social outlet for the student body and more specifically for the individual benefit of the members. The Big Sis-Little Sis program, extend- ed to all campus women, was spon- ISC sored in September by ISC. They also held two sorority nights, a date night and renewed the annual ISC formal dance. In pursuit of intellectual achievement ISC awarded a scholarship plaque to the sorority with the highest grade point average. The change now occurring within the Greek system was illustrated when three sororities dropped informal ini- tiation.

GREEK GAMES 1971 Colored with royalty and music the eighth annual ISC-IFC sponsored Greek Games saw Midland's Greeks organized in competition for a spirit and cooperation beneficial to the entire Greek system. The day-long activities ended with Phi Omega sorority winning its divi- sion and Kappa Phi tying Kappa Al- pha Lambda for the fraternity title. Greek God and Goddess Dennis Stef- fensmeier and Pat Gersib reigned over the games which began with an Olympian parade and ended with an evening song contest.
