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.

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..
