■ DELTA KAPPA EPSILON ■ TAU LAMBDA CHAPTER The Tau Lambda Chapter of DKE was established at Tulane in 1889, fifty-five years after its founding at Yale. Since that time, Dekes have been most active in campus affairs, and this year was no exception. The chapter took part in most facets of Pan-Hellenic competition and emerged with a com- mendable record. An outstanding pledge class, netted at the end of a roaring Rush Week, took part with the members in active ly participating in a number of extra-curricular activities. Deke ' s famous social gatherings were their usual successes, and, as ever, enjoyed by everyone. The annual Debutramp Ball could hardly be forgotten, along with the Toga party. Another Deke innovation, the Ivy League Weekend, rounded out a full social sea- son, together with a host of other parties that helped to make the season a success. Many members held positions of responsibility during the year. Richard Freeman was president of Business Administration, Buddy Friedrichs being a unit manager, while three others served on the Honor Boards of their respective colleges. Benny Powell was a member of the Pan-Hell Judiciary Committee. Other Dekes served in class offices, on the staff of the Hullabaloo, and as officers in the ROTC.

James Kincald, president ■ DELTA TAU DELTA ■ BETA XI CHAPTER Delta Tau Delta Fraternity was founded in I 858 at Bethany College in Virginia. Thirty-one years later Beta Xi Chapter came into ex- istence on the Tuiane campus. The 70th Annual Alumni Banquet at the New Orleans Country Club highlighted Rush Week which resulted in another outstand- ing pledge class. In addition to the pledge class, the chapter was pleased with the Shelter ' s recent improvements, including the addi- tion of a fence around the patio and the remodeling of the up- stairs rooms. After Rush Week everyone settled into the regular routine of studies, parties, and extra-curricular activities. There have been some great parties at the Shelter this year from sorority cham- pagne parties and after-game events to the Christmas Party. The highlights of second semester were our Annual Rainbow Ball and the Initiation Banquet at the New Orleans Country Club. And always there are those unofficial meetings at Bruno ' s!! This year, as before, many of the Beta Xi ' s Delts took part in cam- pus activities. Charles North was the President of the Sophomore Class of Architecture and a member of Phi Eta Sigma. Al Derbes was Vice-President of Engineering School ' s Sophomore Class, and Mickey Michel conducted the Powder Puff Bowl Football Game. Other campus organizations in which Delts are prominent Include Tusk, Greenbackers, Hullabaloo, Pre-Med Society, Student Cen- ter Committees, R.O.T.C. Units and Pershing Rifles. The future promises much for Beta Xi Chapter of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity as it carries on the proud traditions, high standards, and true brotherhood of its past. Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week. Who said the caricatures are on the wall? ?78
