Chi Delta Rho Chi Delta Rho, wc praise thy name, We pledge to bring thee further fame! That's just what Chi Delts are doing, training in camps and colleges all over the country, in active service thousands of miles from home, on the Pacific, in India. Besides the regular activities of the fraternity, the Chi Delts made an attractive contribution to the ap pearance of the campus. At the foot of the flagpole they dug and planted a tulip bed. Surprise! When they came up, it was in the form of an M! Though scattered far and wide, Chi Delts and A1- phas carry with them the memory of their fraternities and their school. s FIRST ROW: D. Hevy.

Theta Theta Theta The Tri-Theta Sorority is the oldest Greek orgam ization on the campus, organized sixteen years ago. A successful spring formal was sponsored by the girls. It was the first and only dance at Milton Cole lege for which a Negro band has played. In connec- tion with the dance, a contest for Hcampus king was sponsored, the final selection made by Miss Veronica Laket Her choice, Rodney Green, freshman, led the grand match. Other annual events included the Lumberjack rush- ing dinner, informal initiation, and Theta week-end. You can see from the adjoining picture that the Thetas are always dressed for the occasion, whether it be a formal dance or time for retirement. FIRST ROW: M. Rasmussen, A. Piper, E. Farnum, M.

Sigma Phi Zeta The Sigma Phi Zeta sorority was organized in 1938. Since that time they have contributed much to the social life of the campus. Due to a large and active membership in 1942, the sorority carried on many activities. For one, they gave a party for a picked group of soldiers from Camp Grant, Illinois. Another highlight of their 1942 season was the Valentine dance. Many Sigmas graduated in 1942, others were un- able to return to school, and the sorority found itself seriously handicapped by lack of members in the fall of '42. But in spite of adverse conditions, the organ- ization has grown steadily throughout 1942-43, and the Sigma spirit is still alive. The Sigmas speak with pride of former member Ensign Genevieve Zimmerman, WAVES, the first woman graduate of Milton College to don a uniform. FIRST ROW: P. Cartwright. A. Cornish. V. Hammill, B.
