The prime goal of Pi Alpha sorority is that of bringing people together and its purpose is to be of benefit to the college, and to provide a kind of sociability for its members. It was born out of the desire to create true sisterhood in a non-sectarian form. Its social functions of the past year have greatly contributed toward achieving its aims. For the year of 1950-195 1 Pi Alpha had on its social calendar such events as lodge parties, school dances, a rush party, and an initiation formal.. Athenians' annual events are a cake-baking contest at the lodge, a Christmas party for the Oswego Children's Home, and a senior banquet. The members have also participated in intramural sports and in school functions such as the variety shows. Our sorority is fortunate in having three charming and helpful advisors: Miss Buckley, Miss Pastore, and Miss Strickland. The Athenians hold their meetings at Funari Hall, thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Leana Funari, honorary mother of the sorority. Pi Alpha attempts to reach the goals of Pallas Athene, from whom the name is derived. We have set up as our motto: If time is employed wisely, the result will be wisdom. Its members always strive to use this as a guide through life. 165 ' L to R R Jacoby, E Kaufman

In 1927 a small group of girls got together Cas girls willj and formed a club they called Aletheia, after the Greek word meaning truth. This club may have appeared a quiet one to outsiders, but inside they were like a swarm of busy-bees working hard toward making their club a sorority. May 10, 1928, was a big event in history to the Aletheians! Before the sun had reached its pinnacle, these girls were sororizy sisters. Theta Phi Sorority, whose home chapter is in Cortlan , became the Beta Chapter. 1 Theta Phi was inactivated in 1938 and reorganized in February, 1949, with twenty-two members. Since then, Theta Phi has been working hard to become one of the top sororities on campus. The September semester witnessed the arrival of our beautiful gold and purple jackets. So when you walk up and down the main corridor and see a group of girls wearing gold and purple so proudly, you will know that they are Theta Phi girls. Social highlights of the year were participation in the Variety Show, Initiation Formal, Lodge Party for student teachers, Open Dances, Christmas Card Sale, Annual Christmas Program in the cafeteria and our Annual Work Week. . To our graduating seniors and student teachers, we extend our heartiest congratulations and best wishes for your future success. MOTTO: Ad Diem Venturam Hodie Construamusf' COLORS: Gold and Purple.
