Alpha Phi Omega was founded at Lafayette College, in Easton, Pa., on December 16, 1925, and has since grown to be a National Fraternity consisting of 226 chapters and more than 50,000 men throughout the United States. Basically, Alpha Phi Omega is a service fraternity rather than a social fraternity. Its membership consists of Scout-trained men. O For the purpose of further fostering afeeling of brotherhood, besides working together, a large-scale national convention is held annually. The most recent A. P. O. convention to be held was in December, 1950, in Des Moines, Iowa. , Since the origin of Alpha Phi Omega on this campus, a number of service projects have been successfully completed: ushering at all home basketball games, running the Red Cross drive for the college, participat- ing in most of the Cub Scout and Boy Scout get-to-gethers at the college, taking part in the Crusade For Freedom drive at O. S. T. C. and rebuilding and decorating the smoking lounge that will some day be a place for all students to meet. Presiding over the meetings during the 1950 Fall Semester were Frank Bowen, President, Ira M. Shaw, Vice-President, Robert Wilder, Corres- ponding Secretary, Frederic Gaudry, Recording Secretary, Ed Vide, Historian, Chuck Dinehart, Sergeant at Arms, Warren Reichert, Treas- urer, Harry White, Parlimentarian. , X Willif' Eyes front 1 66

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.
