A committee was formed from membership to revise IFC constitution in order to make rushing rules stick. Jn fee-gfzafefzniiy ounci The Interfraternity Council is composed of repre- sentatives of each of the seventeen fraternities at U.l3.C. Its main function is govern rushing. the acquisition of members into fraternities, but in addition organizes certain programmes of its own. Together with Panhellenic, the IFC puts on the Mardi Gras, the annual charity ball, which this year again raised over 154,000.00 and the Song Fest, an annual competition of choral singing. This last year the fraternities, through the IFC, supported the Homecoming float parade and the War Memorial Gymnasium fund drive. Also with Panhellenic, the IFC maintains a 31,000.00 bursary fund for needy students. A con- siderable sum was raised to add to this bursary fund.

'x . ' TX 5 . s .......Q lg' fir. A as 'If I if , . anph .17 fia Alpha, the original chapter of Alpha Gamma Delta fraternity, was formed at Syracuse University in New York in May, l9U4. From its first eleven members, the relatively newly founded fraternity has expanded into an international organization consisting of sixty-two chapters. Delta Zeta, the UBC Chapter of the Fraternity, was organized during the 1929-30 session and was installed in May, 1930, as a fully affiliated chapter. Although our fraternity activities keep members busy, Alpha Gam encourages participation in many UBC activities. This year Alpha Gams have worked in many UBC teams and clubs, and sorority members have positions on VVUS and XVAA. Une of the largest projects sponsor- ed by the active chapter and members of our alumni is the annual Winter Wonderland Cabaret, given in aid of B.C.'s Spastic Society. This is a part of a larger altruistic project carried on by the fraternity on a national scale. Further funds are raised each year to aid the Cotjitileetza Indian Hospital at Sardis. The Christmas season is marked annually by a visit to the Hospital, when the girls take Christmas stock- ings they have made. Rounding out the activities for the school year, the members of the ac- tive chapter enjoy ten days together in May at a camp. Reading from top, left to right: Elizabeth Abercrombie, Doreen M.
