Though a relatively young frat- ernity and consequently small as far as numbers of chapters are concerned. it is Well organized and activities of the chapters are well supervised by national officers and faculty and alumni advisers. Theta Chapter of Sigma Phi Delta was installed at UBC in l932 and ever since the Focus have taken an active part in campus life and ac- tivities. MJ js Q A 'ft f iff ,, ,,f, ,.

The social program is somewhat restricted, however, to meet the needs of the members who must be enrolled in one of the Engineering or Architec- ture schools to be eligible for admit, tance to the Fraternity. The annual lndian Party at the Stanley Parlt Sports Pavilion high- lighted the Fall season for actives and alumni alilte. A rendition of l Am An Indian Too-A Sigma Foo by recent pledges Anderton, Hogan. Diespeclter. and Renshaxv stole the show. Activities in the Spring included the Sweater Party, Formal, and the big rushing party at Ming's staged by the alumni. Details of Theta Chapter's par- ticipation in the general convention of the Fraternity scheduled for Van- couver in early September are being handled by Alvin Nemetz for the actives and George Campbell for the alumni. The three day gathering should prove a memorable experience for the American delegates and a milestone in Chapter history. 13 AW wyg-v V' if' Heading from top, left to right: Albert F..

The neighboring chapters in this dis- trict are located at the University of VVashington, Washington State, the University of Idaho, the University of Oregon, and at Oregon State College. We have a personal contact with these obtain a house. We feel certain that we should be in possession of a house in the ensuing school year. The brothers of Pi Gamma chapter indulge in much extra-curricular activity and also have many men on the univer- sity faculty. The scholastic aspect of the fraternity isstressed and the ada and the United States. The Canadian chapters are located at the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto and at McGill University. Pi Gamma Chapter is kept in close contact with the rest of these chapters by means of a chapters because of the visits that the brothers make to them and the re- turn visits from these chapters.
