They began their social calendar with theT.N.T. dance with Tiga. Among the other dances are the Christmas dance with Cotillion, annual Sweetheart Ball and the forthcoming beach party with Delta. Tri-K is well represented in the athletics, chorus, class officers, honor council, publications, and student senate. All six places in the Hall of Fame were taken by Tri-K girls.
