KAPPA KAPPA PS I Bandsmen Who Actively Serve To promote all aspects of the band and music is the purpose of Kappa Kappa Psi, national honorary band ser- vice fraternity for college men. Only top bandsmen who actively serve the band and maintain a 2.0 overall aver- age are invited to join. Although the fraternity was founded as an honorary organization the activ- ities are not strictly along these lines. Time is also found for varied social activities. Besides coordinating band activities to keep things running smoothly, the fraternity sponsors several social events. One of these is the annual bat- tle of bands open to the entire school and interested local bands. Kappa Kap- pa Psi is the sponsor of the band banquet and the election of band of- ficers. They have numerous parties from mixers to rush functions. Kappa Kappa Psi closes out the social year with its annual Club Finale party. In order to interest music students in picking Tech as their future home, the fraternity sends out brochures to high schools throughout the South- west. The students are then invited to Tech to examine for themselves the possibilities of a Tech music program. Members of Kappa Kappa Psi pre- pare the marching fields before foot- ball games and furnish water and soft drinks for the visiting bands that come to Tech. This year the honorary band group is the largest in the history of the Tech chapter, and the years to come look like they will be good to the fraternity as Tech is on the grow.
