CREAM OR SUGAR? Betty Lowe and Celeste Hensley make good use of the coffee machine secured through the efforts of Kappa Sigma Kappa Fraternity.

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.

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”.

TIGA To meet the competition of the Imps fraternity, Tiga fraternity, was organized in 1941. Since that time they have been noted as the “party Club” for the many successful social functions they have organized in their 11 years. Opening their series of parties with the very successful Thanksgiving Dance, the fraternity surges on with such hits as the Christmas and Easter dances. Even forgiving their intense rivals for a short while, they staged a party with the Imps, the first in many years. Many other minor parties were held to carry on the famous Tiga tradition. HERE WE ARE! Discussing the social clubs averages after the first semester grades came out are Tiga members, Ralph Hamilton and Tommy Hubbard.
