Beta Iota chapter was organized from an “Interest group” begun in 1950 under the leadership of Miss Willi Effie Thomas, a graduate soror, and Miss Agnes Mann. Among the activities of Beta Iota chapter have been the presenta¬ tion of concerts and dance pro¬ grams, and a picnic at Mesker Park honoring girls of the 1951 high school graduating class. The picnic was held with the idea of introducing Alpha Kappa Alpha to the community as well as to the graduating high school stu¬ dents. •Mam
