A fraternity is a body of men associated for their common interest, business, or pleas- ure, it is a brotherhood. The Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity is an association dedicated to the aforesaid purpose. The Fraternity is cele- brating its Golden Anniversary this year. The Alpha Chapter, founded in 1899 in Philadel- phia, is the oldest textile fraternity in the country. Since that time it has been moving forward steadily in dignity as well as in numbers, with chapters at Lowell Textile School, New Bedford Textile School, and North Carolina State. From the time of its founding Delta Kap- pa Phi has stood for quality in securing new members. The Alpha Chapter now has an active membership of one-hundred-two men, the largest of its fifty year past. With the expanding facilities of the new Philadelphia Textile Institute, it plans to grow proportion- ately. By spacing social activities through- out the year to lighten the academic load of the burden, by pledging men who will uphold the ideals of the fraternity and further its course, and by sending a select group of well-equipped men into the textile industry as our representatives, the Fraternity will maintain its past leadership and realize great future possibilities.

PHI PSI March 18, 1903 saw the founding of Alpha Chapter of Phi Psi Fraternity at the Philadelphia Textile Institute. The aims of the fraternity were based on three ideals. First, to promote good fellowship among congenial men of the Textile Schools and Colleges with Textile departments, second, to encourage a high standard in textile work, and third, to assist by every honorable means, the advancement of its members. Beginning with a nucleus of five men, Phi Psi has grown to be national in scope. It has nine active chapters and ten Alumni Chapters with over 2,500 members located in most of the states and in many foreign lands. lt is a far-flung organization, but closely welded together in ties of friendship and brotherhood, plus the strengthening bond of business association in later years. During the school year many social events were held. Among them were two freshmen smokers, an informal dance early in the year, the Annual Founders Day Ban- quet, and the highlight of the year the An- nual Spring Formal dance. With such an outstanding background and fine principles upon which its foundation is built, Phi Psi Fraternity will continue to retain its high standard of respect through- out the textile industry and further advance toward the goal of perfection.

SIGMA PHI TMI The year 1949-50 was a milestone in Sigma Phi Tau's history. During this year We saw the general transition from the Sigma Phi Tau of post-war days when veteran en- rollment was at its peak, to the present state which has approached the standing of the fraternity of pre-war days. The men who came back to school this year not only saw a new P.T.I., but also came back to a newly acquired fraternity house at 231 W. Tulpehocken St. A great deal of effort and time by members of the fraternity has reshaped our new living quarters consider- ably, and with the coming years we hope to improve still more. Many problems faced us concerning the house, but a direct attack on each of these has placed us in a position where we are happy to say that Sigma Phi Tau is functioning harmoniously. Many social functions sponsored by Sig- ma Phi Tau characterized the spirit of inject- ing a bit of gaiety into our everyday chores of long hours at school and study. The num- erous faculty and student invitations to these functions are the ways in which we have expressed our interpretation of liberal frater- nalism, for true fraternalism is not only con- fined to brothers of a fraternity, but in a broad sense, to all of our fellow students.
