'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. With the theme Sigma Serves Chil- dren the Gamma Pi chapter held a ben- efit for their national project, the Fiobbie Page Memorial. 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.

IPC and Panhellenic Greek councils coordinate activities For the lnterfraternity Council, the gov- erning body over all fraternities on cam- pus, it was the usual busy year. With new colonies and existing colo- nies receiving charters, the size of the council grew. Each fraternity on campus sends rep- resentatives. Colonies of fraternities are allowed associate membership, having a repre- sentative to express its point of view, but without voting power. The size of the fraternity also deter- mines the number of representatives allowed. The fall semester was the first under the new lnterfraternity Council constitu- tion passed last year. The new constitution updated past reg- ulations placing emphasis on high moral and academic achievements. lt also made the group more respon- sive to its members, reinforcing the power of its administrative and judicial board offices. The constitution was drawn closely along the lines of the National lnterfrater- nity Council and Southeastern lnterfrater- nity Council, groups to which Nicholls' IFC belongs. With Vic Lafont as president, the coun- cil was approached onthe subject of Tau Kappa Epsilon's probation. TKE had been found guilty of various charges and placed on a one-year probation status. lnterfraternity Council: First row: Henry Lafont, Karl Hebert, Vic Lafont and Farrel Fiodrigue. Sec- ond row: Barry Landry, Kenny Solgnet, Glenn Ther- fault, Chuck LeBlanc, Lenus King, Scott Lukes, Mark Landrieu and Mike Strohmeyer, Third row: Doug Robison, Glenn Haydel, Chuck Terrebonne, Malcolm Andry, Aaron Fanguy, Carroll Lyons, Anthony Covernale. Joseph Marino and Dean Wil- Iiam Duncan. 208 IFC and Panhellenic Councils In February, its representatives filed to remove their fraternity from probation cit- ing their work and progress. The lFC voted to remove TKE three months before its probation would have expired, as a vote of confidence in the fraternity. The main work of the IFC each year is the scheduling of activities for Greek Week. The council also presents the scholas- tic award to the fraternity with the high- est grade point average and the commu- nity service and spirit awards to the organizations who have distinguished themselves. The Panhellenic Council, for sororities at Nicholls, is quite smaller, but has the same responsibilities of the lFC. The Panhellenic Council had to arrange a full slate of Greek Week activi- ties for its members, the second year sororities have actively participated. Among the activities planned were tournaments in powder puff football, pool, foosball, ping-pong, badminton and volleyball. Other competitions were wheelbarrow, egg and suitcase races and the stripping Panhellenic Council: Sitting: Kim LeBlanc, Gerri-Dawn Perret, Linda Pahnke and Jeanine Breaux.
