'Sigma Serves Chilclren' ancl Foolish Fashion Show highlight busy year Although third in size when compared to other sororities, Sigma Sigma Sigma outranks six fraternities with 35 members. A trip was made to the campus of Southeastern Louisiana University to aid the Tri-Sigma chapter there with their rush activities.

The money collected from the benefit goes for research at the Cardinal Glen- non Memorial Hospital for Children, St. Louis, Mo. and the North Carolina Memo- rial l-lospital, Chapel l-lill, North Carolina. The Nicholls Tri-Sigs hosted State Day in March for other chapters from South- eastern Louisiana University, the Univer- sity of Southwestern Louisiana, Loyola University, Northwestern Louisiana Uni- versity and alumni from Thibodaux, Houma and New Orleans. .+ l..-. . Each year Tri-Sigma sponsors its Foolish Fashion Show, at the Foundry, a night spot where many students gather. The fashion show consists of men modeling the latest fashions, for women, After the initial embarrassment and kegs of beer have been downed, the show is relaxed and as funny as it is fool- ish. Formals were held at Christmas and in the spring for members, with a Founder's Day Banquet April 7 to mark their ninth year at Nicholls. A Mother-Daughter Banquet was also held in Thibodaux for parents to meet the sorority of their daughters. During Greek Week, Tri-Sigma finished fourth in competition, but placed three members on the Greek Court. With determination to go forward or a sly peek at how the competition does it, the sorority sack race never lacked spirit, regardless of how far the jump- ers got.
