Beta Gamma wishes to extend best wishes and a willing hand of assistance to the newly organized Alpha Chapters at Arkansas State and Lynchburg, Virginia. We also extend to Brother Ernest Briggs one of our former brothers who has transferred his membership to Eta Chapter a good hand of cheer and fellowship. He is doing Graduate work In Electronics in the R. C. A. School in New York. Beta Gamma and Nu Lambda are looking forward to presenting their annual chapel program May 5th at which time prizes will be awarded to the winning High School student who writes the best essay. Members of Beta Gamma were entertained by members of Nu Lambda recently at a luncheon in Jones Hall. It was a very enjoyable one and was climaxed by singing the fraternity hymn. So for Beta Gamma, this is all for now. We have enjoyed our little "chat" with you, until the next issue we leave you

KAPPA CHAPTER Ohio State University Greetings: Kappa Chapter has recently welcomed to the folds of Alpha Phi Alpha three neophytes. They are Brothers Alfred Allen, (Columbus, Ohio): Edward Posey, (Youngstown. Ohio); Frank Thompson, (Cleveland, Ohio). We have also had the honor of welcoming back a few of our brothers that have only recently been discharged from the services. They are Brothers, Carl Slaughter, William Williams, Tracey Parks, and Ralph Hammonds. We of Kappa Chapter have a large task ahead of us for 1946, for as co-hosts to the General Convention along with Alpha Rho Lambda, we have a man-size job before us. We are also planning our annual spring formal for May 29 and it should prove to be one, if not the finest affair of the season. At the close of this school year, we will be bidding our chapter president, Brother Walter B. Jones, farewell as he
will be among the fortunate ones to be receiving his B. A., in pre-law. Brother Jones also served Kappa as dean of pledges last year. Kappa is looking forward to welcoming all of APA to Columbus with the General Convention in December. Fraternally yours, WILLIAM W. GRIMES Associate Sphinx Editor S
