Plans were made for a new concept in fraternity living on the campus. Undergraduate members lived at Yorkshire House during the year but continued to offer a full range of services and activities, while alumni architects drew plans for a new Alpha Sig chapter house. In the sports arena. Alpha Sigs intramural teams did better than ever before while the chapter also held its traditional social activities. The little sister organization was started again, an effective senior council was organized. and further refinements were made for a progressive pledge program for the fraternity The Mad Hatters Ball. Talisman Rose Formal. and the Bayou Bounce highlighted the chapter’s social calendar. Because of the importance of this year in the history of the fraternity. Founders Day was a special event for the entire brotherhood. The year brought forth a new era for Alpha Sigma Phi at Oklahoma with a promise of a bright and progressive future.
