PANHELLENIC'S ANNUAL TEA will highlight the week for the college freshmen. who will be entertained at a special program to be held in the Cancer Center. Flint, Mich. It is held for all the girls in the vicinity entering colleges. Weeks of planning have gone into the aUair. and among the busy committee members are the trio above. Mrs. Burton MaWhinney, Mrs. William Schultz and Mrs. Fred J. Howes. Mrs. Schultz is co-chair-

man with Mrs. Rutherford Cooper.

t THE resurgence of interest in alumnae groups in Alpha Sigma Tau in the last few months is a very healthy and hopeful sign not only in our own sorority but in the entire fraternity world. Our alumnae clubs have increased from nine to thirty bringing our total of alum nae clubs to thirty-seven and our entire roster of alumnae groups to fifty­eight. Of these fifty-eight, twenty-eight are chartered. ·

This grea t growth in alumnae interest may be attributed to many causes. It might in­dicate an equal or greater need for sorority affiliations after college than during the years of active participation in collegiate chapters. During college· years there is the bond of association with contemporaries. In

t h wa with much pleasure and a keen sense of anticipation that the girls of Sigma Chapter looked forward to being hostesses at the District M eeting which was held on O ctober 2 at the new Student Union of Buf­falo Sta te T eachers College. A warm glow of fri endship, enthusia m and gaiety charac­terized the meeting.

The schedule was as fo llows :

after years the demands of a prof s ion, or f marriage and homemaking in fa r pi a es away from people of similar exp ri nc s leaves a void that on ly these alumnae a ffili a tions an supply. The as ociation with individuals with a like sorority background ; with its em ph a i on ideals, high character and inspiring ri tua l - in short the associ ation with like mind d people become a heart warming experi nc .

The fact that this enlarged opportunity to participate in alumnae group has received such great impetus in such a short time may be rega rded as proof that real need exi ts for these groups and Alpha Sigma T au i up­plying the means to fill this need among her alumnae.

At the Eastern District M eetin a, Buffalo, O ct. 27, 195/

t As members of the Greek-letter fraternity world, we are a part of a vast company num­bering, in 1950, 1,949,311 members, and we are the product of a long and illu trious pas t - the inheritors of a culture devised centuries ago to answer man's need for close associa­tion, the answer to man's inherent capacity for friendship.

The record of men uniting themselves to­gether in social bonds goes back to the earliest times.

So the principle of uniting together for fri endship's sake is nothing new. H ere in America, the first Greek-letter fraternity wa , of course, Phi Beta Kappa, founded in 1776 a t the College of William and Mary, Wil­liamsburg, Va. In a very few years chapter of Phi Beta Kappa had been e tablished at Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth. By the end of Phi Be ta· Kappa's first fifty years, its char­acter had changed, being by that time no longer a secret fraternity but rather an hon­orary one.

In the first half of the nineteenth century a number of other fraternities were organized. The story of the founding of each of them is fascinating. The year from 1850-1900 saw the establi hment of many other fraternities for both men and women, culminating, for us, with the founding, in 1899, of Alpha Sig­ma Tau at the Michigan State Normal Col­lege, Yp ilanti, M ich,

Through the year that have pas ed since the inception of the first fraternities, much has been sa id rela tive to their worth. Fra­te rnities, both for men and women, have a lways had powerfu l advocates in people like the la te Francis W. Shepardson, beloved for­mer president of Beta Theta Pi ; the late Alvan E. Duerr, Delta Tau Delta ; the late William R. Baird, Beta Theta Pi, and George Banta, Phi Delta Theta . When our thought turn to women's fraterniti es exclusively who an m a ·ure th worth of service lik tha t

40 year in the a tional Panhellenic Confer­ence? We think al o of M ary Love Collin , Chi Omega; Amy B. Onken, Pi Beta Phi ; Loui c Leonard, Alpha Gamma Delta· and Mary B. M erritt, Phi Mu for many year past, serving not only their own fraternitie but N .P.C. a well.

But fra terni tie have had critic, too. You will sometime hear people ask, "Of what us are fraternitie ?" or "Wha t can fraternitie do for you ?" When we, a fraternity mem­ber analyze the e que tion we hould be able to tate po itivcly and hone tl y what our fra ternities can do for u and of what u e they are. If we cannot pre ent valid answers, we are failing in our opportunity a fraternity women.

Let u consider the e que tion a moment. Fir ·t of all , your fraternity offer you the privilege of fri endship, the pleasure of a o­ciating with other of a congenial pirit. This is not a temporary thing- la ting only for the duration of your college days. You who are alumnae, I'm ure have had the experience of continuing your friend hip be­yond college years, particularly in the work of your alumnae chapters . AI o, no doubt , there a re those of you who have moved about the country and who have depended upon Alpha Sigma T au in a new city to become your fir t fri end . And you have not been disappointed, I know.

ot only i friend hip a motivating fore in fraternitie but o i loyalty. Your frater­nity expects loya lty from you : Loyalty to your national organization, L oyalty to our college, Loyalty to your college chapter and to each of the member within it. And i not loya lty a valuable and worthwhile quality?

On the collegiate level , our frat rnity will a! 0 teach you oopera tion- a qualit ' adly n.eeded in the ' orld toda . You are expe t d to cooperate with your chap ter and n tiona! officer " i th th d mini tra ti n f ·our s hool and with a h th r. You obe · the regul ation h, pter b , usc y u re, 1-

THE ANCHOR 5

ize the good of the large group to be above your individual wi hes.

Your fraternity is aJso deeply concerned with your academic standing for it believes it is important for you to achieve the ultimate of which you are capable. So your frater­nity requires of you certain averages for ini­tia tion, certain scholastic tandards for your chapter as a whole and, in general , stresses your intellectual accomplishment. For why else are you a college student?

Your fraternity likewise will foster in you a spirit of reverence-a belief in things that are true and worthwhile. Your fraternity's secret services are built on a firm belief in God and a reverence for the good life.

In addition to these things, I think it is undeniably true that in a fraternity chapter one achieves poise and social adaptability ; one learn to live in a large group in harmony.

There is still something else your fra ternity will do for you . It will teach you the value of service to others, for fraternities believe they are " their brother' s keeper." I know of no national fraternity that does not have a service program. They are many and varied. In some instances they are scholarships, some help the blind, some the crippled, others as­sist in se ttlement work ; your own Alpha Sigma T au supports the Penland School of H andcraft at Penland , N . C. , and the Pine Mountain Settlement School at Pine Moun­tain, K entucky.

Surely all these qualities-loyalty, coopera­tion, mental achievement, reverence and poise represent in part, at leas t, the treasures your fraternity offers you.

In these turbulent and troubled times, however, there are certain hazards our fra ­ternity system faces and we would be les than intelligent and hones t if we did not recognize them. It is my firm conviction tha t a true appraisal of the situa tion and a ustained effort to overcome these problems

are vitally necessary if we are to preserve the institution beloved by thousands-the American Greek-letter fraternity.

T oday's world is bedeviled by the curse of cynicism. M any have become "sophisti ­cates," afraid to believe in anything.

But cynicism is not our only hazard. An­other I should like to mention is best summed up, I think, in the current slang expression

of "Let Georg do it." Your fraternity x­perience will b fa r mor meaningful if you give yourself to it wholeheartedly. B enthusiastic about it. Don>t let George do it- do it yourself!

Another even more serious fraternity haz­ard is the matter of poor publi r lations. We used to call it "publicity" but it' s mor dignified today ! In any case, you'v all seen much in the public press, from time to tim , to discr dit fraternities-stories that may be frightfully exaggerated but that become a ll the more deadly in their effectiveness. We've had occasions where representa tives of well­known magazines appear on a campus, per­suade a fra ternity group to le t them take a series of pictures purporting to show, say, a typical college day. So the fra ternity obliges thinking it will be good publi ity for the chapter. In some instances, the pictures appear with completely misleading caption that distort the whole episode. This is rare but not unheard of. In other instances, the emphasis will be most misleading-several pages devoted to social activities, pre-initia­tion stunts, etc., with possibly one mall pic­ture in an obscure spot showing a few hardy souls studying. Be on guard when unsought publicity is offered you.

Then we have the rash of pre-initiation stories almost annually. While the e roo t commonly have to do with men's fraternitie , we must realize that each such tory casts discredit upon the entire fraternity y tern . Sometimes these stories report really eriou inju ry to a pledge or horseplay that ill be­comes a college group. The e epi ode rna or may not be true but if they are, the are the result of thoughtlessne on the part of a very small number of undergraduate who do not realize that the whole fraternity system will suffer for their rash acts. Ther -fore, all National Councils of both men' and women's groups a re trongly urging the el im­ination of "H ell W eek."

I have been pleased to ee the report of several m en's fra ternitie hanging 'H ell Week" to "H elp W eek" in which community service is carried out by the pledge . Alpha T au Omega is one of the fraternitie that has been a leader in this- having fi rst in tituted H elp W eek at its U niversi ty of Indiana chap­ter. The idea is spreading over our campu bringing with it a flood of favorable pre

H er M ajesty the Queen of Greece will give the official opening addre s. Emphasized topic for discussion include The Child, Ma s M edia, Home and Profession, and Peace and the U. N. The many delightful excursions planned for delegates will undoubtedly give them not only pleasure but an opportunity to know general conditions in Greece .

The Dutch independent weekly De Groene recently published twelve theses about an impending revolu tion of women. "The tend­ency of the theses is that the pre ent pre­dominance of the male has not always ex­isted and doesn't necessarily continue in­definitely." The author, Mr. R. H . deMan, says that the old feminism, which did a lot of good, "has lost its pushing power" and that fu rther emancipation i dishearteningly slow in getting tarted ; that the three great revolu tion in most recent hi tory-"those of the bourgeois, of the workers and of the colonial peoples-have not ucceeded in bringing about the four fundamental free­doms; and that a fourth revolution is now necessary- that of women."

Clara was initia ted into Alpha Chapter Februa ry 12, 1921. After gradu a tion she be­gan teaching in Wyandotte, Michigan, and continued there until her dea th . She a t first taught history and la ter became librarian in the junior high chool. Besides her degree from Yp ilanti she al o received her M as ter' s degree from Ohio State University and studied library work at Wayne University in Detroit.

She was a member of the M etropolitan Church in Detroit and was a Girl Scout leader for many years.

While Clara was a student a t Ypsilanti, she lived a t the home of Ada A. orton . Mis Norton wa very fond of Clara and trea ted her as a daughter. Clara spent many

weekends and vacation with Mis 1 orton, watching after her health and aring for h r home. At the national conv ntion in D e­troit, Clara brought a b autiful portrait of Miss Norton which she show d th m mbcrs a t the farewell luncheon.

Clara was a devoted orority m mb r and was alway loyal to it a tivitie . Gri f at the pa sing of our sorority i ter i de p and . incere, yet it does not bring the depart d back to us.

;\; M EMBERS of Alpha Sigma T au a t Michi­gan Sta te. ormal College, Ypsilanti, Michi­gan, are proud to belong to the Alpha Chap­ter. H owever the ci ty of Ypsilanti eems to cause many people trouble and it doe n' t seem to be the type of problem the gi rls can remedy as the root lies in people ca ttered throughout the U nited Sta te .

Of all of Michigan' towns there i n't one tha t has a more abused name than the city of Ypsilanti . Most persons ca n't pronounce it, let alone spell it.

T o make it easier to follow thi story it's ip-si-lanti, not yip-si-lanta. ·

Employe of the local postoffi ce once kept track of the spellings of Ypsilanti on letter . During a six-month period they fo und ixty­fi ve varia tions.

There was the phonetic speller who wrote it " ipsalantie," and the traditionalist who referred to it as " Ippes Land ing."

<t STUDENTS returning to Ball State recently found quite a few changes in construction completed and others under way. In addi­tion to the construction of the L. A. Pittenger Student Center and the home economics de­partment wing of the Practical Arts Build­ing, several rooms in the Ad Building are getting a general face lifting.

Already one may follow the outline of the walls of the Student Center and find the large game room across the front. the cafeteria on the east side, and the potential position of the main entrance of the northwest corner.

The big ditch in the middle of Univer ity avenue is part of an undeJ;"ground tunnel con­necting the Center with the Ad Building. This tunnel will hou e the heating pipes for the Center.

The building will have three floors, - in­cluding the ground fl oor. On the first floor will be the ballroom and banquet hall. . It will have a stage a t one end, accommodations for 380 persons and will seat about 660 for performances. Also included on this floor will be a large lounge. priva te dining room , offices and tudents' exchange.

The second floor will have activity rooms,

a faculty lounge, and anoth r priva t dining room.

Only one third of the v ntua l C nter is being built now. Future plans call for x­tending the building across Coli gc av nu and T a lly street.

The construction of th home onomics depa rtment wing is about on schedul . Soon the walls will be added thu making it po -sible to work through the winter. This build­ing i expected to be ompleted by the fa ll quarter of 1952. ·

In addition to painting th halls and room of the Ad Building, n w offic s hav eith r been compl ted or nearly comp leted in the we t end of the basement. In thi part of the basement the recorder, transcript Jerks. fi le clerk and license clerk wi ll be located .

While these problems are seriou and try­ing, yet there is another graver issue which affec t not only our fraternity chapters but which is broader in its scope and is affect­il1g our whole democratic way of life. This is communism.

Your fraternity's national officers, along with those from all other fraternities, are deeply concerned with the presence of com­munists or communist sympathizers on many of our university campuses today. They are aware of the calcul a ted and in idious way these people infiltrate student organizations, getting themselves elected to offic;es where they can then control a vast amount of pow­er. Frequently, they will launch new student organizations with high sounding name and supposedly lofty and worthwhile ideals. All

At the Alumnae Luncheon for Collegiate girls held in Bluefield in M ay, we were very proud to initiate Miss M argaret Ann Strad­ley into our chapter.

Our year is always· highlighted with our Annual Mother's D ay T ea. This year Mrs. Spencer Howard (Mary Jane Peery ) and Miss Edith Elliott were hostesses to the mem­bers and their mothers at the home of Mrs. R. M. Peery, War, on M ay 10, 195 1.

A lovely program of musical selections was arranged by Mrs. Edward Rinehart (Virginia Linkous ). Mrs. Amoth Monk (Edith H ouse) sang several lovely and appropriate songs accompanied by Virginia at the piano.

The guests were la ter invited into the candlelighted dining room by the hostesses. The table was overlaid with a handsome imported cut-work linen cloth. The punch

bowl, an heirloom of ut glass, was flank d with tall white candl s and a low arrange­ment of spring flow rs omplet d the table decorations. Miss Elliott served the punch and Mrs. Howard assisted the guests to indi­vidual cup cakes iced and centered with yellow roses, to mints and nuts.

The gues ts were presented with da inty ribbon corsages from the chap ter.

The first meeting of the new year 1951-19'52 was held September 15, a t the hom of Mrs. J. Buckberry, War, W. Va. The tenta­tive plans for the season which were prepar d last April were completed by the group.
