fit QD! 9 1. 9 ' -J M1250 Analysis - - - Order Please! The Inter-Fraternity Council and the VVomen,s Pan-Hellenic Council are the two groups consisting of the two best arguers from each sorority and fraternity. Their excuse for holding meetings is to solve their problems and promote general good feeling among the various groups. In reality they hand out tickets, pay dues, and argue for positions on the political tickets. .MOM A New Order Have you heard of the Bounders' Club? just organized this year, it claims the distinction of be- ing the first social group to be officially recognized by the school and chartered by the Student Council. There is much secrecy and mystery in its origin. o First Sorority and Fraternity Awards The Student Council was generous this year and gave awards not only to sixteen outstanding people, but to the two social organizations that had the highest percentage of extra-curricular points. Alpha Phi Omega received the highest ranking percental with an average of 14.5 per member. U and I sorrority received the highest of the feminine organizations with an average of 7.6 per member. The awards take the form of a black and gold plaque on which is engraved the A. S. A. Sorority and Fraternity award, with the name of the organization winning and the year in which it won. The organizations must have the highest per- centage the next year also or the plaques will be taken away and given to the organizations which do have the highest ranking. The A. P. O.'s and the U and Ils are already visualizing how nice the plaque will look hanging on the wall of their clubroom in the building to be started in the near future. But looking at the treasurys of all the clubs it seems as though they will have nothing to put in the clubrooms, that is, excepting the two -winners of the awards., and they will have only the plaques. Anyhow, it was a good idea and the organizations like it. .1 O- Nominated for Outstanding Members of: zz.. V. ,,,--v ---v - , . -'- - fn.:-gA11:'f w BETA BETA DELTA 2 2 22 cw ' . .

As the old saying goes there must be all kinds of people to make up the worldf' so it goes for the sororities and fraternities, there must be all kinds of people to make up these groups.

Each sorority and fraternity soon assumes a definite personality. From the day of its founding, it takes on certain traits just as an individual expresses his own innate characteristics. The so- cial groups at K. C. U. have had only five years to develop-in fact most of them are considerably younger than that-yet they have already achieved vastly different personalities. O Do A Good Deed Daily Alpha Phi Omega is the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of the campus. It may be for a time at group of serious-minded boy scouts, while several days later it suddenly becomes the 'fglad-to-see-you-outu frat which demonstrates its evil powers by nabbing up a loin's share of the prize rushees. Never try to forecast the actions of A. P. O. O 'Tse A Muggin ' Next we come to the rah-rah girls. They are always in there pitching Cwith you or at youj. Upon being introduced to a member of Beta Beta Delta, it is best to cover up and call a retreat, or you will soon have either bought a ticket or asked for a datef' They are connected somehow with an extra chapter at Junior College. .-i.O.- The Case of the Missing Co-eds This is the sorority of mystery. It is somewhat secretive, giving many private affairs. Rather large, its girls always go around together. Beta Zeta is the name-the Madame X of K. C. U. This sorority is the youngest on the campus, having been here for only two years. . Hide-Here Comes a Bentonian Bentonian-it makes you think of dancing. This club dances constantly. It is the jig-a-boo of the campus. It's Friday night at the Pla-Mor, Satur- day at the script dance, and Sunday afternoon at the nickleodeon dance. Every member is loaded down with tickets which he thrusts on the unwary. They are the flashy boys of the school. T,.T .

This club bears heavily of physical pulchritude and swing dancing. Its only reason for existance seems to be to give its members a chance to pay back some boy 6 friends by treating them to an occasional dance. 1 -O- - Under the Table Although this frat is sometimes called Kegon, it is known to many as the Thank God it's Fri- day club. They groan through the week to come unexpectedly to life on Friday about 2.00 P. M. From then until Monday they go around with some of the boys really enjoying life. But then comes Monday and again rthey hibernate. .Ti..T..O The Most-Members Sorority May we now present the sophisticates of K. C. U. The little girls who think they know their way around. The Sigma Betas. However, this sorority is slipping, for every now and then one of its members can be seen actually acting natural. VVhen not occupied with dazzling the males, the Sigma Betas spend their time joining and dropping out of Girl's Pan-Hell. . Get In There and Pitch The Sigma Chi Psi's are really nice guys when you get beneath that what's it to you shell. These are the boys who can take it, for no pledge is admit- ted who cannot stay out every night for a week without weakening. Their girls are select and few. O Having A Wonderful Time One club at K. C. U. has definitely reformed. Last year 90 per cent of the members of U and I Sorority went steady. This year, according to the president, none go steady. However. it does happen that 90 per cent of the members accept dates with only one boy. They are the clinging vine type and lucky is the one to whom they cling. if I ' m DA - ' WC
