We Warm... Theta Sigma Upsilon became a national sorority with the Alpha Chapter at Emporia, Kansas, in 1921, and is a member of the National Panhellenic Con- ference. Epsilon Chapter was installed on the Pittsburg campus in 1924 under the direction of Miss Elmina E. Graham. The national aim of Theta Sigma Upsilon is to establish a sisterhood whose five-fold object is the physical, intellectual, social, ethical, and spiritual de- velopment of its members. The open motto is, The Higher Good. The Thetas received the Panhellenic scholarship award in the spring of 1947, and came through Homecoming successfully with first prizes on their house decorations and their float. Their social service project the past year was the adoption of a needy family to whom they contributed food and cloth- ing. Members of Epsilon Chapter have been prominent in campus activities and have held numerous important offices. Many social good times are a part of their happy memories. The faculty advisors are Miss Frances Hashbarger and Miss Helen Kriegs- man. Patronesses are Mrs. O. P. Dellinger, Mrs. H. A. Holzer, Mrs. J. U. Massey, Mrs. Adele M. Burnett, Mrs. E. K. Smith, and Mrs. George E. Rug- gles. Miss Annie Marriott, Mrs. Ethel M. Peck, and Mrs. Bert Keeney are honor members. These Theta officers-Dorothy Beaver, Shirley Ann Sim- mons, Deloris Shaver, Jane Johnson, Lorena Mae Riley, and Donaleen Meeker-are quick to point ont that their sorority won first place in Hornecoming's house decorations contest.
