dim Ufzgaafgvzfifiaaa As the fall season draws to a close, the freshman begins pledging and is introduced to fraternity and sorority life at Ripon. He soon finds out that the fraternity will become the center of his life and from this will eman- ate his social life, intramural activities, his closest friendships, and a great deal of his relations with the administration of the col- lege. Very few differences exist between the Greek Letter groups at Ripon and their fundamental purposes are the same. There is a strong but healthy rivalry between houses and a complete absence of bitter feelings. These local fraternities are free from out- side influence, remain an integral part of the college, and still give many of the benefits of national organizations. The fraternity and sorority members at Ripon are justly proud of their respective groups but Ripon as a whole is very proud of its fraternity and sorority system.

The forty-three members of Alpha Gam- ma Theta were more than well represented, and received honors in many phases of cam- pus life. Some of the outstanding members were Ellen Kurtzweg, editor of the COL- LEGE DAYS and president of Pi Delta Ep- silon: Peggy Doolin, president of the inter- sorority council: Beth Tilden, drama, choir, and Ver-Adest star: and Elizabeth Carman, member of Phi Alpha honor society. The Lyle girls sponsored a well-rounded program of social events. This included, be- sides homecoming celebrations and rushing, an all-school open-house after the Beloit football game on Dad's Day, the annual Wassail party at Christmastime, and the intersorority formal. The second semester events Were: an alumni-honorary party, the semi-formal Street Scene dance, the an- nual spring picnic, and the traditional fare- well breakfast in honor of the ten graduating seniors of the sorority.
