These few women comprise the present membership of the Kappa Sigma Phi Soror- ity, which was originally founded in 1943 at the Philadelphia Textile Institute, and it was reorganized last year in order to be fully prepared to go national, Since then the Constitution and the By-laws of the soror- ity have been revamped, and a pin was designed as well as a coat-of-arms and a membership card. The main objective of the group is to interest other women in textile education and in the opportunities of a job in the textile industry. We are convinced of the impor- tance of women in the field and are aware of the contributions we can make. KAPPA SIGMA PHI Our social life last year was limited, but nevertheless successful. A shower was held for one of the sorority sisters and a pic- nic in May for all the student body, with the fraternities and faculty participating. Now that we have a beautiful new building and a very lovely campus, we will endeavor to bring more social life into the school. OFFICERS President . . . ......

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.

TF set its ideals high but realized what looked fine on paper would have to be tackled in a fore-sighted, down-to-earth manner before it could be realized. The Textile Fellowship was organ- ized not in competition with existing frater- nities and clubs but rather to serve essential purposes not covered by them. This lack of friction with other organizations is clearly brought out in the. membership of TF which is composed of many students who also have ties with other groups. The functions of the Textile Fellowship of P.T.I. are centered about its three basic aims: 1. To help promote social and racial understanding within the Institute and the textile industry. 2. To encourage and exchange ideas between men of the textile industries and kindred fields. 3. To encourage the spirit of service to others, not only within the organization, but in the entire textile field. TF's activities, most of which have been made available to the entire student body, have included, such events as speakers in the various fields of textiles and field trips to different plants in the industry, as well as a few social activities. The Textile Fellowship continues to hold high hopes of success for its venture, which can be assured by the continual addition in TF of new members with new ideas and the will to work for the goal it has set for itself.
