We were a united group, said Laurie Von Stein, Phi Mu president. We had many people involved in activities because every girl had a respons ibility. We worked better as a whole and had new ideas and new goals generated. Sisterhood was the most important aspect of a sorority, said Julie Briggs, Sigma Sigma Sigma member. It was the closeness we had within the group that kept us together. There was a bond bet- ween the sororities by just being Greek. Occupying part of the same hall. Phi Mu and Sigma Sigma Sigma continued Tri Mu, a party held in the fall between the two sororities.

the Cieek i of Phi Mil ities. sjid Uone t. We had fi activities spoosibiii ole and had nerated. Itwasihe With no traditional houses, Greek women live under the same roof in Roberta Hall the family social chairman for Sigma Sigma Sigma. ' We had close friends in separate sororities and it was a way to establish good communications. Tri Mu eliminated rivalry because Sigma Sigma Sigma and Phi Mu lived on the same floor in Roberta, said Phi Mu member Jeri Johnson. Living in Roberta brought most stim()orta(i|members closer to their sorority. I liked living in Roberta because there was a sense of unity and a feeling of a ejrauptha family away from home, Johnson said. abdbel phi Mu was involved in several ac- MgCreek. tivities and was the largest sorority with 75 members. We won Homecoming supremacy between thJnine times in 10 years, Von Stein said. We held a skating party for Project HOPE and swimathon with KDLX for American Cancer Society, Von Stein itinuedTr to Dm icey Danahy said. In the same way, Sigma Sigma Sigma ' s 58 members were involved in a Headstart Christmas Party, Homecoming, informal and mixers. We had weekly meetings which weren ' t required, but most people par- ticipated, said Sandy Loew, Sigma Sigma Sigma president. Emphasis was placed on academics . On Sigma Sigma Sigma ' s Founder ' s Day, we gave awards for highest GPA and most improved GPA as well as other awards, Loew said. The sorority and school were major parts of my life, Loew said. There were things I learned through the sorority, I wouldn ' t have learned otherwise. Most girls found it beneficial. --Maryann McWilliams Assistance Fairy Bearcat Jeri Lynn and Mouse Nancy Ciefer help Cinderella Dolores Mitchell.
