Rho Delta Chi Girls Support Mission Home Although it has been in existence just over three years, the club has already established many traditions. A noteworthy custom of the organi- zation is its support of the Mission Home for Exceptional Children. Members of the club made a special visit to the Home at Christmastime to cheer the children with carols, toys, and cookies. Also, for the third consecutive year a sorority member has won the Miss Posture Contest spon- sored by the P.E. Majors Club. Connie Fielding was the winner this year. Closing the calendar of activities was a ban- quet at the Menger Hotel where the top three new officers and the outs tanding member, Martha Marks, were announced.

S gmas Honor Leaders at Formal Dance A silver forest, white satin pillows, and poin- settias carried out the dance theme, Fire and Ice, the most memorable activity of SIGMA PHI ALPHA TAU sorority. At their annual winter-white dance, members placed gifts for a needy family under a white flocked Christmas tree. This is one of the several service projects the organization undertakes each year. Pat Hamrick, Diana Huntress, Marcia Nar- veson, and Nancy Sauer were cited as Outstand- ing Sigmas at the dance. Rush parties played an important part in the Sigma calendar of events. In the fall 15 new mem- bers joined the sorority, and following the spring party, six girls were initiated. In November the Sigmas hosted a dinner in the Shangri-La Ballroom. Sorority sweethearts, David Johns and Pat Sullivan, and mascots, John Anderson, Richard Forns, John Haygood, and Melvin Jordon, were announced during the din- ner. Other service projects sponsored by Sigmas were caroling at the Southton Old Folks Home and volunteer welfare work. The year ended with the Mother-Daughter Banquet held at Oak Hills Country Club.
