DELTA OMEGA PHI Delta, the second oldest fraternity on the campus, was organized in 1937, Delta has always maintained ideal relations with all the sororities at the college, giving parties and dances jointly with each of them. Once every year the club goes on its own to present an annual affair called the Shipwreck Dance, the climax of Delta’s social calendar, which is usually put on sometime in early April. At present Delta is the largest social group on the campus. It leads the other fraternities in the latest computed scholastic rating chart. In sports, also, the tradition of school spirit plainly expresses itself through Delta’s 17 lettermen. There are members of this fraternity participating in every activity offered by the college athletic program. This past basketball season Delta captured the intramual title. THANKS, BUDDY!

THE OLD AND THE NEW! Dixey Andrews, newly installed member of Gamma sorority, plays the piano at a sorority meeting held at her home. Singing are Jackie McCarthy and Flo Currier, two other new members, and Janice Clark, an older member. GAMMA GAMMA Di Gamma began their 1951-1952 activities by joining with the Imps fraternity to give their annual Sadie Hawkins Day Dance during the Thanksgiving holidays. A Wild West Rodeo was the scene of Gamma's rush party. Following the installation of 21 new members, plans were made for the Christmas Dance which was held at the Pythian Castle. The dance was a combined event with Delta Epsilon Phi fraternity. Di Gamma was well represented in athletics, having 10 girls on the hockey and basketball teams, and tieing the basketball intramurals. Scholastically the sorority placed Second among the other social clubs. Each spring the traditional May Day Dance is given. At this affair a Division girl is crowned Queen of the May.

Hart Slater, that the Imps manage so often to have a successful party at a low cost to the students. At any rate this club, organized about 1933, has shown much aptitude along such lines. The first of their parties at the Rendezvous Club was only a beginning. Luring more members with a smashing rush party, the Imps soon staged their most popular dance at the Moose Club during the Christmas holidays. This was followed by a between semesters party and other unforgettable evenings. To all of these activities, Imps alumni are admitted free. Activities such as these prevented the club from standing high in scholastic honors, but “you're only young once”.
