Organizations Roosevelt's fraternity and sorority groups are living examples of the principles which have earned the ten year old University a respected position as one of the nation's most progressive c6lleges in the practice of Brotherhood and abolition of arbitrary discrimination. A major portion of the University's social life is centered around its three fraternities -- Beta Sigma Tau, Praetorians, and Tau Delta Phi -- and single sorority. Phi Delta Rho. Most of the proceeds from the organizations' year-round social calendar find their way to the coffers of the Roosevelt University Scholarship Fund, or some worthy outside charity. TAU DELTA PHI Lamda Epsilon Iota, local fraternity of Roosevelt University, completed affiliation with Tau Delta Phi national fraternity in an induction ceremony at the Sheraton-Blackstone Hotel, January 27, 1957. The national fraternity was represented by Stanley Goodman, national secretary, Alan Freeman, regional vice-consul, and the consuls of the Loyola and Northwestern chapters of Tau Delta Phi. Roosevelt University was represented by Nick Paster, director of student activities. LEI is now known as Tau Pi chapter of Tau Delta Phi. Tau Pi represents the newest chapter in the history of the fraternity, which was established in 1910. Highlight of the Tau Delt's social calendar will be their annual gala dance, A Dream Come True, which represents co-op- eration on the part of almost every Midwestern University. Proceeds from the sale of bids will contribute to the fight against nephrosis, the killer disease which claimed the life of a former Roosevelt student, Hershey Schneider. Page 69
