Andres. u Sigma Beta Gamma Chapter of Nu Sigma Nu has once again added the right portions of academic achievement, social activities and personal and professional interrela- tions to make this another successful year. Even though Nu Sigma Nu is the oldest medical fraternity on campus, it has not given up the spirit of progress. This year the fraternity is going through a period of change. The venerable house at 32 Burnhardt Drive will be sold and presently under the leadership of Art Morris, our president, arrangements are being made for new facilities for the Nu-Sigs. The year's social season has been a tremendous success largely due to the efforts of our hard working social chairman, Vince Birbiglia. The happy memories at these affairs were a fitting finale for all the memories of past times spent at the old house. The year's events included numerous parties, the installation dinner, a cocktail party before the Med-Dent Ball and the closing affair, a dinner dance. With the addition of an enthusiastic pledge class to an already undying loyal membership, Nu Sigma Nu is looking forward to another successful year next year. 207

Ph i Lambda Kappa Kappa chapter is in the middle of another very successful social season. Particu- lar among the highlights have been the uproarious reports from our treasurer which we are planning to release as an LP Album, in quest of a somewhat more stable hnancial situation. The rushing season included several swinging parties-same punch, new music -and ended with a bountiful Stag dinner and one of the largest and brightest pledge classes in the history of the chapter. Dr. Samuel Sanes delivered the after- dinner talk in his usual and inimitable manner, as attested to by many twenty and thirty year alumni members who attended the dinner. Among other events we are looking forward to in the Spring are our annual cocktail party before the Med-Dent Ball, and our annual closing affair at which time the pledge class will be otiicially inducted as Fraters. Kappa chapter has already begun to look ahead to new successes in coming years such as we have had this past happy year. Front Row A Cohen, R. Daffner, B. Ettiniger, D. Kranner, L. Row: K.

Phi Chi The purposes and functions of Phi Chi in brief are the maintenance of academic excellence, the promotion of medical brotherhood, the enjoyment of extracurricu- lar activities including the social sphere, and providing the means of financial assistance to those members who are in need. The facilities of a fraternity house allow the fraternity to hold many of their social functions in addition to providing boarding facilities for students of the university. Phi Chi is the only medical fraternity on the university which currently owns its own house. The fraternity enjoys the backing of a large alumni who participate in guest lectures and in other fraternity functions and who include some of the most promi- nent teaching and practicing clinicians in the greater Buffalo area. Phi Chi, being one of seventy seven chapters situated throughout the country provides its members with fraternity brothers and alumni wherever they may go for internship, residency and private practice. The members of Phi Chi feel they are carrying on the fine tradition of academic life combined with recognition of the necessity of social relationship which portrays the interest of extracurricular activity and the ability to enjoy professional and personal interrelationships characteristic ofthe field of medicine. a xr.
