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”.

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! Helping to put up flags to advertise their annual Shipwreck dance are two loyal Delta frat brothers. Buddy Leatherwood and Tommy Wyszatycki.

CREAM OR SUGAR? Betty Lowe and Celeste Hensley make good use of the coffee machine secured through the efforts of Kappa Sigma Kappa Fraternity. The coffee machine was just another one of their “firsts,” as they also were the leaders in obtaining shacks. KAPPA SIGMA KAPPA.

Third row: Harold Heafner, Melvin Meekins, Speedy Hart. Absent from picture arc Glenn Pierce, Vice President; Wright Williams, Harold Newton, Johnny Robertson. KAPPA SIGMA KAPPA Kappa Sigma Kappa, the only national fraternity on the campus, was chartered in February of 1949. At that time there were approximately 14 charter members. James Mizell was the first president, and Tom Stewart was the sponsor. In the 1950-51 season Kappa captured the basketball championship, and many of its members participated in school varsity events. Kappa was the first fraternity to acquire a room to be converted into a fraternity lounge. This idea was pioneered and put into effect through the repeated perseverance of the members. Among other accomplishments Kappa became the only fraternity to have a lounge with both a stove and refrigerator. The Norfolk Chapter was fortunate enough to be host to the National President, Fritz Abel, during the current semester.
