Theta Omicron Rho The Theta Omicron Rho Fraternity, founded in 1914, is the oldest existing organization on Northern's campus. Founded for the purpose of promoting the intellectual, social and moral welfare of its mem- bers, the fraternity offers ample opportunity for men to work together in the fraternal spirit of co- operation. Because of the size of the fraternity house, Theta Omicron Rho offers a large and varied social pro- gram for its members and guests. Along with the Thanksgiving social, the Christmas formal, and the Spring dinner-dance, week ends see the house open for such activities as dances and informal parties. Are You From Dixie , a biennial Minstrel Show, is written and produced by the fraternity. The pro- 116 ceeds from the show are used for house improve ments. This fall they undertook the window Wash ing job at the Lake Shore Engineering Co., whic enabled them to put a new roof on the greater portio of the house. The fraternity encourages participation in th college intramural sports program, along with varied program of recreation at its residence. Th bowling alley, tennis and volleyball court, and pin pong tables are in constant use, and regular tea competition is carried on in the house. The fraternity has a large and varied membership representing not only the majority of the communi ties of the Upper Peninsula, but nearly every curri culurn offeredat Northern.

The Iota Chi chapter of the Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity is the youngest frater- nity on Northern's campus. The purpose of the ALP.O. is to assemble college men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, to develop friendship and to promote service to humanity. The four main fields of activity which call for the attention of each chapter are: Service to the studentbody and faculty. Service to youth and community. Service to members of the fraternity. Service to the nation as participating citizens. The Iota Chi Chapter of Northern received its charter from the National Representative on May 27, 1951, with the Epsilon Lambda Chapter of Michi- gan Tech carrying out the installation-initiation ceremonies. Service projects undertaken during the past year have consisted of sponsoring a Christmas Dance, fence guards at the football games, assisting fresh- men during the days of orientation and ushering at college programs and assemblies. 115
