From a colony of thirteen girls, the chapter has grown to a full-sized and very active sorority. The Pine Mountain Settlement in Harlan County, Kentucky, is the sorority’s philanthropic project. This year the chapter sent a monetary gift and Christ¬ mas packages for those in the hospital there. At Evansville College the Beta Sigs are active in all phases of campus life. In the Student Gov¬ ernment Association, Choir, Band, Crescent, Thespians, Union Management Board, Wo¬ men’s Council, Women’s Athlet¬ ic Association, and various hon¬ orary societies Beta Sigs take an active part. The sorority has been publicly recognized for its scholastic and athletic achieve¬ ments and other campus activi¬ ties, both by the college and by the national sorority. By participation in these activi¬ ties, Beta Sigma Omicron is aiding the growth and progress of Evansville College. BETA SIGMA Omicron members boosted the morale of the team and the specta¬ tors for the football homecoming game with their merry-go-round float. BETA SIGMA OMICRON
