EPSILON-DAVIDSO~
ALPHA-COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON
Alpha Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi initiated fifteen new brothers in February. These new brothers brought the active chapter new blood and new ideas, and a new hi-fi system. With forty-two men now, the active chapter is making plans for the future. New drapes are to be purchased to go with the new furniture purchased in October, and hopefully a new color television can be bought. Campus elections will be here soon and the brotherhood is hoping to make another good showing. The Rose Ball will be here soon and then summer, another year, rush, pledge training, and initiation. The future looks bright for Pi Kappa Phi and for Alpha Chapter. GAMMA-CALIFORNIA
Many things have been happening recently at Gamma. In February Tom Deen visited us and initiated a new housing corporation for the chapter. Mr. 0. T. Laib has been working earnestly to get the papers drawn up and filed properly. As far as the house itself i.s concerned, our lease will soon be up, and we are trying to improve this house or find another. In January we elected a new archon, Steve Stephenson, and at the next initiation we will initiate two alumni, Reverend Henderson and Raymond Miller. They have shown great interest in the fraternity and will be great brothers. We have just begun a little sister program. Our little sisters are not just a social thing, but rather a group of girls who are loyal to Pi Kappa Phi and want to do what they can to help it. As a service project, we are going to kidnap the housemother of each sorority on campus and give them back only when each girl in the sorority donates a can of food. Our little sisters are going to help by .serving as hostesses for the housemothers. Gamma has grown out of its house. Due to a large pledge class and new initiates, the house can no longer accommodate all its members. Considering that most of the other fraternities at Cal have run into hard times, we feel that we are very fortunate. In the future we thoroughly expect to keep growing. 16
