The history of AZO dates back to a day in Dcccinhcr of 1919, when nine niciiihcrs of the studi-iit l)()dy of thf Philadclpliia ( ' ollciic ol Pharmacy and Science joined togctlui in order to further tlieir seliolastie achie iinents. ' Ilie oriyiiial name of tile t;ron]i was the Dead M.iii s ( iliili lull lliis iiairie soon hecaine replaced !) ■ Alpha Zereall)ds Oinei a Frater- nity. The Alpha coniing from the C ' .ri ' ck meanin i first and the Omega from the (ireek also, meaning last. These words were to .signify that all menihers would he brothers and friends from the beginning of their under- graduate da s till the last of tlieir days. Tlie name Zereaihds was an acrostic of tlie first letter of I lie last name of the founding memlxTS. Three years alter the first eliapter was .started, .Sidney Marks was contacted aliout .starting a chajiter in Baltimore. In December of 1922 the Baltimore diapter was given their cliarter as Kappa (. ' hapter of AZO. The lii.stor) ' of Kappa has been one of great change, as ha.s been the histoiy of Phannacy since tlie early 192() ' s. In keeping with this era of change, the Ka|)pa (Chapter became one of the first chap- ters to combine tlii ' uiideruraduate and .Mumni iliapters. It was felt tiiat this i hauge would add enthusiasm to the e |ierieiice of the oldiT members. Tliis mi.xture of ()uth and e.vp eri- enei ' has liad maii jirolilems to sol f .mil e eii with the antagonisms that arisetl, these prob- lems wen- soKi ' d. The monthly meetings find the young and the old teaching each other the ti ' uets of fraternalism. This year has seen a great increase of the membership of the undergraduates with an induction of elexcn new members. With this increase in active mi ' mbers. the Kajipa chap- ter will lie .ilile (ii lurther the cause of our lirofessional revolution, both in the School of Pharmaiy and hopctulK ' in the community as a whole. 28

However, the lack of size only helped to increase the brotherhood l etween members, and made us realize a rebuilding task was ahead. A successful meet- ing was held during pledging with great speaker Dr. Blake, who gave a very inform- ative talk on drug abuse. The smoker was honored by the presence of advisors Dr. Shangraw and Dean Leavitt, not to mention the many alumni that attended. Quantity was substituted by quality by the initation of Pledge Dave Jones. The initiation was followed by a successful banquet at the House of Welsh, the function having as guest of honor Dr. Douglas Kay, Grand Vice President of Col- legiate Affairs. Dr. Kay provided Iota Chapter with suggestions for the coming year, and coordinated us with the activities of the other chapters. 27

After several years of absence, Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity has returned to the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. The Sigma chapter, after many years of dormancy, was reactivated on Saturday, Octo- ber 27, 1967. The Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity was originally founded at the Russell Military Academy in New Haven. Connecticut, on May 30, 1879 by Mr. F. Henry Smith. After the addition of two more chapters and eight years, the founders decided to form a national fraternity. On November IS, 1898, William F. Clark, a member of one of the three original chapters, founded the first collegiate chapter at the University of Mary- land. Through such members as Mr. Clark, Kappa Psi soon spread to many schools of pharmacy and medicine throughout the coun- try. In 1909, the Sigma chapter of Kappa Psi was installed at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, making it the third oldest in the fraternity. However, during the World War II years, due to a lack of membership, the chapter became dormant. On April 7, 1966, a group of students from the Class of 1968 met and decided that thev could better attain their professional goals by forming a separate and distinct organization on campus. Upon further examination, these students discovered that such an organization had existed previously in the School of Phar- macy. After approximately one year as the Apothecary Club, an organization through which experience and support could be gath- ered, the Sigma chapter was reactivated. It is with this yearbook that the Sigma chap- ter closes its first full year of active member- ship in Kappa Psi. In this year, members of the Sigma chapter have taken part in many activ- ities. Posters produced celebrating National Pharmacy Week and Poison Prevention Week. Brothers of the Sigma chapter took part in a help project for the D. C. Children ' s Center. Brothers also took part in the Drug Abuse Committee established at the School of Phar- macy. A new.spaper. Kappa Psi Potpourri, was also published by the Ijrothers. On April 27, 1968, an Initiation and Installation of Officers Banquet was held at Dukehart ' s Restaurant. In closing, Sigma chapter of Kappa Psi wishes to extend its best wishes for success to the Class of 1968.
