igma enpl. Mu Xi Chapter at the University of British Columbia was formed in the fall of 1948 and functioned as :1 colony of its international parent body, Sigma Alpha Mu. In Nov- ember, 1949, its members were of- ficially initiated, and Mu Xi was duly established as the 48th chapter of the fraternity. Two months later, the dream of all local 'kSammies came true when they acquired a fraternity house and 4233 West 9th Avenue became of- ficial chapter headquarters. Early in the school term, a Mothers' Club was formed and an Alumni Club is now in the process of formation. Both of these organ- izations have given much support and co-operation to the local chapter. Main social activities of thc fall term were a highly successful 1-lallowe'cn Party for the pledges: the regular Anniversary Banquet on Foundefs Day, November 10th, and the climax- ing party of the term, the Sammy New Year's Party.
