Endowed With Southern Hospitality Kappa Alpha Order-1865 Alpha Eta Chapter-189O Founded in 1865 on the campus of Wash- ington College, Lexington, Virginia, the Kappa Alpha Order came to the Westminster campus in 1890. Since that time Alpha Eta Chapter has earned and upheld a place as a leader on the campus. Besides having K A's taking an active part in the various organiza- tions on the tthill, we have had many out- standing athletes both in intramurals and in Varisty sports. In basketball, Dave Silkner and Joe Frakes starred on the Varsity squad and in intramural swimming, John Patterson was an outstanding performer. Standing firm to our Southern tradition, the Confederate uniforms and hag were the order of the day for the Fulton Christmas Parade. During the rest of the year, South- ern hospitality was always to be found at the chapter house. Many improvements were made on the house during the year. New Chairs and tables replaced the old ones in the dining room and the HPine Room in the basement was redecorated. New evergreens were added to the lawn and some new furni- ture was purchased. The pledges planned and gave one of the highlights of the fall, the Pledge Formal. UK A XVinter Lodge was the theme of the annual Christmas Formal. Mother Simmons with her southern accent and spirit of hospi- tality was the able hostess of our social events. With the cooking of Bob Linnemeyer, our barbecues were events long to be remembered. Other social events of the year were the Open- houses which furnished dancing and enjoy- ment to the whole campus. And, of course, there were the Vic Parties at the chapter house between the other social functions.
