ALpha Iota First in Scholarship ;\:. THE SPRING semester of 1962 has been a lively and exciting one for Alpha Sigs at Syracuse. Our social events included a number of coffees with various fratern ities on campus. In M arch, a wonderful time was had by a ll as we danced a t th e Twist Party at Skytop . Highlighting the socia l ca lendar was our Spring form al wh ich was held a t the Airways Inn. A delicious buffet dinner was followed by a lovely evening of d a ncing. Other high lights of th e Spring term included a pajama party, with much hi larity an d litt le sleep. In addition to providing a fun-fi lled evening, the annua l White Elepha nt sale was held to raise money fo r Tavern y, a French orphanage which we support as part of our social service work. Frosh Weekend was a time of enthusiastic participation from our pledges. At the Frosh Weekend carnival, we had a booth of " penny-pitching" wh ich contributed to the enjoyment of the weekend as well as to th e coffers of our campus charity organization. Spring Weekend provided an opportunity for us to exercise our artistic talents in the floa t parade. The over-all theme of th e parade was borrowed from Charles Addams, the well-known cartoonist of the N ew York er magazine. Our floa t, entitled "Spring Through Charles Addam s' E yes" featured his famous Ghoul family and a profusion of bats a nd spiders. It proved a nove l a nd interesting way to welcome the new season. An event of which we at Alph a Iota a re particularly proud th is year took p lace at the a nnua l Pa nhellenic Luncheon held at the Hotel Syracuse. For our 1.86 over-all average, we were awa rded the Scholarship C up, acknowledging our rank as first in cholarship a mong all the sororities on campus. A most enjoyable occasion was the visit of Mrs. Steen, our D istrict R epresentative. All of us deep ly appreciate her interest and concern for the sorority. Our annual Moth er-Daughter Luncheon was held this year at ~h e Hackney Hou e.
