ANOTHER PETITION has come to Pi Kappa Phithis one from the Lone Star State. The petitioning group is the Usonian Fraternity, one of the oldest fraternities on the University of Houston campus, Houston, Texas, and a charter member of the Interfraternity Council there. Considered as one of the top fraternities at Houston, it has always ranked within the top five scholastically. This local fraternity was founded in 1946 by a group of abour a dozen men. There are now about 40 members, headed by Anthony M. Romeo. The alumni group numbers more than 150. The annual social function is the White Rose Ball a formal banquet and dance held in the Spring. Th~ fraternity's flower is the white rose, and its colors are white and blue. Usonians participate in all school activities, including intramural athletics, Homecoming, and production of an outstanding show for the Frontier Fiesta, which is a University of Houston carnival of the Old West. The group ranked fourth scholastically among 14 fraternities on the campus last Spring, the rating for the semester being 1,206. "In the past," Mr. Romeo said, "we have had members who have held top student positions on the campus in other organizations. We also have members who at the present time are leaders in organizations to which they belong. Examples are the Interfraternity Council; University of Houston Alumni Association; the Cougar, student publication; the Frontier Fiesta Association; Pep Club; Student Association, which governs student body activities and organizations; Press Association, and the Univer~_ity Debate Team, which last year woo national honors. 5
