RHO IOTA KAPPA President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Leonard Moreau James Pyne Walter Bergman Fred Lopes Rho Iota Kappa, Rhode Island State ' s oldest fraternity, has reached her 40th anni- versary. The years from 1908 to 1948 have seen many strides forward and PIK ' S good fellowship and brotherhood has continually grown stronger. From her origin at the Peckham Homestead to her present chapter house, PIK ' S main purpose has been to further the interests of Rhode Island State College. Perhaps her most important contribution to the college in the past few years has been in the field of athletics. She has led not only in intramural competition, but her members have also played a leading role in the success of the varsity teams.

THETA CHI President Vice President Secretary Treasurer I. Champlin Wilbour Edward Smith . Harold W. Browning Jr. Wilfred H. Anger Theta Chi, first known as Sigma Delta, was the second local fraternity to be founded on this campus. Knowledge of the society ' s existence first became known to the cam- pus on December 22, 1909 when a formal Coming Out Party was held in Lippitt Hall. Sigma Delta ' s petition for charter was granted by Theta Chi fraternity on March 18, 1911. It is interesting to note that Eta chapter was the first national on this campus. In 1936, the fraternity celebrated its 25th anniversary of national affiliation with the publication of a book that reviewed its history. Theta Chi ' s present building was badly damaged by fire in 1937, but by 1938 the house had been reoccupied again. 30
