DELTA SIGMA PHI Dclt;i Sigma Phi was fountled at City College of New York in 1889. Sev- enteen years later Chi Chapter came into existence at Tulane. The watch- word of Delta Sig is Engineered Leadership and as a result of its intensi- fied leadership program a e have moved forward in size, scholarship, and campus participation. Delta Sig ranked third in the number of pledges with thirty-three. Along with size, scholarship has also improved ' ith ten of the thirty-three pledges being National Merit Scholarship winners. Also, the Delta Sigs were re- cipients of the scholarship improvement trophy. In campus activities, Frank Basile, who is Leadership Chairman, led the way. Frank served as President of the School of Business Administration and ice-Chairman of the Plonor Board as well as representative to the Pan- Hellenic Council while maintaining his usual four point average. Brother Basile was chosen for membership in Who ' s Who and the Jambalaya Hall of Fame. Pledge Tom Gallagher was Public Relations Director for WTUL. Ken .Mills and Ted Nass were members of TUSK and Wally Sudol was chosen for Greenbackers. Early in the year Delta Sig placed third in the Homecoming Decorations contest under the able direction of Eddie Davis. Partywise, the Delta Sigs, who are ve l known for fun and frolic, lived up to their billing -with the Sailor ' s Ball right after rush week to the Carna- tion Ball in February, where the Dream Queen is serenaded, to the Bayou Brawl, the big party of the year.

DELTA TAU DELTA Delta Tau Delta Fraternity as founded in 1858 at Bethany College in Virginia. Thirtv one years later Beta Xi came into existence on the Tulane campus. The Delts commenced this year ' s activities with a week of dazzling rush parties, one of the most successful of -hich was the annual picnic, held in the safety of the Delta Shelter after the chosen site at Ocean Springs was rained out by Hurricane Donna. Donna also cooperated in giving special appropriateness to the traditional name of another party, the Beta Xi-clone. Members of Delta Tau Delta have been prominent in all phases of campus life again this year. Beta Xi is represented in Tulane ' s engineering, arcliitec- ture, pre-medical, classic language, and political science honor societies; the Opera Workshop and A Cappefla Choir; Phi Eta Sigma, Tusk, and Green- backers; the arsity Baseball Team, and the three R.O.T.C. units. Bob Clark and Al Taylor are ' captains of the Army Drill Team and Drum and Bugle Corps, respectively, and Al Boudreau is president of Glend - Burke. Delts are also active on the non-academic side of the ledger. Mickey Michel again conducted the Po -der Puff Bowl, and a rush of frantic foot- ball practice culminated in the ignominious defeat of the active chapter by the pledge class in Audubon Park, for which the actives forfeited a keg of beer to the victors. This year ' s social calendar was also replete, the bright- est date being the Delt Formal at the resplendent ballroom of the new Roval Orleans Hotel. The future promises much for Beta Xi as it carries on the proud tradi- tions, high standards, and true brotherhood of its past. isst Somebody drank too much BETA XI CHAPTER
