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.

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.

NO CASES TODAY! Photographer Bob Porter takes a respite from snapping pictures for the POW-WOW to appear with fellow Honor Council members, also resting from their duties. They are left to right: First row, Barbara Barker, Ann Uzzell, Margaret Ann Felton; Second row, Richard Absalom, Skippy Hull, Lois Shuey; Third row, George Sarantis, A1 Daw, Bob Porter. “Innocent until proven guilty,”could easily be the motto of the Honor Council. Having existed since the founding of the Norfolk Division in 1930, the Honor Code is held sacred by every student. Its essence lies in individual responsibility on the part of each student. The Honor Council is an educational and judiciary body and does not exercise police powers. Since the student body assumes the responsibility for the operation of the Honor Code the college does not practice supervision of examinations by proctors. Members of the Honor Council are elected for a term of one year by the student body. NO MAN SHORTAGE HERE !
