Kappa Sigma Phi was founded at the Philadelphia Textile Institute, Philadelphia, on October 27, 1943, by a group of under- graduates who were fellow students in Tex- tiles. Zealous effort is being put forth to esta- blish firmly Kappa Sigma Phi Sorority at the Philadelphia Textile Institute in View of the increasing number of women students. At the present time it is our desire to secure a franchise of incorporation under the laws of Pennsylvania and later to expand as a na- tional organization to other textile schools or colleges with textile departments. It is a professional textile sorority, con- fining its membership to women students who are taking, or have taken courses in Textiles and includes graduate students and faculty members. Provision is made for alumnac and honorary memberships. The purposes of the organization are to further academic study and good scholarship, to encourage school spirit and participation in school activities, to unite the members into closer alliance with one another, to main- tain fine social standards, and the serving to the best of our ability, our Alma Mater. Some of the activities enjoyed during the past season included dinner at Kuglcr's at which we welcomed into the Sorority, a faculty member, Miss Martha E. .lungerman as an Honorary Member. We also had a Buf- fet Supper which was given for the prospec- tive members at the home of the President. The highlight of the year's social events was a tea given at the Barclay Hotel at which time the Sorority entertained the Alumnae Mem- bers and inducted new members. Some of our Sorority sisters are serving in executive capacities at Kansas State Col- lege, Manhatton, Kansas University of Ten- nessee, Knoxville, Tennessee, U. S. Testing, Hoboken, New, Jersey, Forstmann Wooleli Company, Passaic, New Jersey, University of Alabama, Birmingham, Alabama, and thc Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company, Car- teret,New Jersey.

CROWFOOT OCIETY Crowfoot Society is the Honorary'Society of The Philadelphia Textile lnstitute. It was founded in 1925 for the purpose of joining together an active unit of conscientious young men around which might revolve a means of stimulating undergraduate opinion and action advantageous to both the student body and The Textile Institute. The success of the organization has been evidenced in the years since its inception by the interest of the mem- bers and student body in the activities of Crowfoot. The insigna of the society is a key in the form of a crowis foot which bears in its claw a scroll upon which is engraved the greek let- ters which mean EXCELSIOR the ancient symbol of the magistrates. Membership to the society requires that a student maintain a scholastic standing of two-and-a half grade points for the year previous to his admission. Other factors con- sidered are attitude toward work, extra curri- cular activities and good fellowship. Pros- pective members names are submitted by the society to the members of the faculty who check their eligibility, and give their views on the candidates before their final selection by the society. The allotment for membership from each class is limited to two men, making a total of eight picked each year. In addition to the two men from the Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes the men holding the following oliices: The President of the Senior Class, President of The Textile Club, and Editor-in-Chief of the Analysis due to their high position in the student body may be selected even though their class quota has been filled. In the spring of each year the Crowfoot Society holds its annual banquet to which the whole school is invited. At this banquet the new members are utappedw into the Society. Prior to their being Htappedi' the names of those selected are kept secret. Another feature of this banquet which makes it so enjoyable to the students is the practice of giving knockers which in some way depicts an outstanding characteristic of their personality to the members of the faculty. The Society is fortunate in having Dean Cox as its faculty advisor and a honorary member of the Society.
