Rohr Twenty years old, Kappa Sig- ma Alpha Fraternity was organ- ized for the express purpose of promoting the loyalty of its brothers to XVagner College and of effecting a greater realization and attainment of their scholas- tic, cultural, and spiritual ideals. The underlying fraternal feeling is based on the desire to produce a closer relationship and a deeper consideration and understanding among the students at Wagner College. It is the cosmopolitan spirit which per- vades the activities of the fraternity at all times. Demonstrating its extra-curricular as well as scholastic interest, the fra- ternity presents three awards annually: the Kappa Sigma Alpha award in education, the Kappa Sigma Alpha award to the yearls most outstanding player on the VVagner College football team, and the Cordon Lathrop Scholastic Cup. The group annually sponsors a semi-formal dance, a Founder's Day banquet and May Day social. The fraternity dances, which feature con- tinuous music, are well known for their unusual and exotic decorative effect. NVith the reactivation of the Kappa Sigma Alpha Alumni Association and the subsequent coordination of the two groups, Kappa Sigma Alpha can this year look forward to greater and higher standards in achieving its goals.

Alfred Krahmer Mr. VVarren F. Robinson Mr. Herbert Sutter Mr. Frederick Willecke The brotherhood of Sigma Delta Phi, the first fraternity at Wagner College, was or- ganized on May 6, 1923, by five men who desired a closer bond of fellowship. The ideals expressed in the original con- stitution, scholastic achieve- ment, effective participation in the extra-curricular activi- ties of the campus, and a f true spirit of fellowship and brotherhood, are still the criteria by which prospective members are adjudged. Sigma believes that all students attend college primarily for an education, and therefore refuses to encourage those who are remiss in this vital aspect. Accordingly, XVagner, as the Alma Mater, is first in the hearts of the brothers. Toward that end, the fraternity has instituted an annual award to the outstand- ing student in the English department, and has reactivated the Herbert Holter Memorial Plaque for excellence in athletics. The recent CHEY drive was gen- erously supported by both the Active and Alumni chapters of the fraternity. An annual dance is sponsored by Sigma for the enjoyment of the entire Stu- dent body, as Well as several rush socials each year. Last years dance at the Boulevard Hotel was a huge success in terms of attendance and enjoyment. The brothers have also taken the initiative in sponsoring a bus to several of the away football games, enabling many to see the games who otherwise could not have attended. Although the 1950 graduation removed twenty-four of the active brothers, the fraternity maintains close ties with its alumni group. By frequent joint meet- ings of the officers of the actives and the alumni, interest is not only stimulated in the welfare of the fraternity, but also in the affairs of XVagner. An annual convention highlights each spring, presenting an opportunity for the actives to meet older brothers, and returning these men to Sigma and to NVagner. Sigma Delta Phi is a democratic brotherhood where individuality and free- dom of expression are of paramount importance. Inner assent has always been substituted for external compulsion and authority. Unquestioning acceptance and respect for the otheris opinions have developed and matured Sigma men to the point where they are effectively prepared for the outside world. Finally, we are confident that all of the brothers have absorbed the true spirit of brother- hood and that those who remain will carry on this fraternial spirit aunblemished after usf, storms- Siif, - as Nil S entr . y U1 fllcj IOIHCQ . 113 Ommg inside
