Greek Community Brotherhood and sisterhood are the very essence of Greek life at the . Beginning with the rushes in the fall, Greek life revolves around common interests and shared goals. More than just an opportu- nity to socialize, the Greeks are serious about their committment to bettering of the univer- sity. Greeks encourage strong scholastic achievement and award scholarship from their national chapters. Participation in ath- letics has long been a Greek tradition both in the form of the intramural program and in- formal competitions such as the Greek games. The Greeks donate countless hours in service to the local community as well as national charities. Above all, Greek membership leads to friendships that last throughout the college years, and well beyond.

Running... 189 Alpha Epsilon Pi Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity was founded in 1913 at University. At that time, their aim was to promote friendship, brotherhood\ ambition and idealism. The Rho Deuteron chapter of AEPi, established at the university in 1925, has maintained these goals throughout the years.

AEPi's are a socially active group hosting mixers, tailgates, a Red Light District Party and a spring formal in Ocean City, Maryland. The fraternity par- ticipated in Greek Games and hosted an Open House Barbe- cue with Alpha Phi. The broth- ers hosted their Bucaneer's Brawl, a longtime AEPi tradition in which they transform the en- tire house into a "Treasure Is- land" theme. While AEPi likes to stress an active social life, they feel that academics are a major part of the fraternity. Receiving the award for the highest grade point average over all Greeks for the past seven years, the brothers are active in groups across campus including Hillel, Order of Omega, Political Sci- ence Honor Society and Engi- neering Honor Society. Although there are chapters throughout the United States, AEPi at the University of Dela- ware has achieved the award of being the number one chapter in the Northeast region. The brothers of Alpha Epsilon Pi be- lieve that Greek life is a reward- ing experience — rewarding throughout both the college ca- reer as well as one's lifetime.

Battling it out at AEPi's Buccaneer Brawl are Maurice Segall, Gina Pierelli, Josh Salmanson, and Karen Schwenk. The Brawl has become a house tradition.

Mixers with sororities highlight the AePi social calender. This Friday the guests are sisters of Alpha Chi.

192 Alpha Phi Omega

Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity was founded in 1965 at the Virginia Military Institute. The Epsilon Rho chapter was established at Delaware in 1949.

ATO excels in many aspects of university life. Consistently maintaining a high grade point average, ATO is represented in the Order of Omega and in the Engineering and Business Stu- dent Associations. Along with academics, ATO prides itself on being a fine ath- letic fraternity. During the year the brothers participated in sev- en varsity sports, including foot- ball, wrestling, and lacrosse. The brothers have won numer- ous overall intramural cham- pionships, and have won Greek Games three times in the last five years. Alpha Tau Omega's philan- thropy includes the American Cancer Society, Delaware Wheelers, and Big Brothers of Delaware. To raise money for the March of Dimes, the broth- ers sponsored a walkathon. Maintaining a full social cal- endar, ATO enjoyed tailgates, theme parties, and mixers. Highlighting the year was ATO's Spring and Winter Week- end formals, and alumni events such as the annual Bullroast.

Alpha Tau Omega 193 Delta Tau Delta Fraternity was founded in the spring of 1858 at Bethany College in what was then Virginia, and now West Virginia. The Chapter was established on Delaware campus on October 24, 1948.

The Delts participated in a va- riety of activities. During fall se- mester, the brothers of Delta held their traditional Homecom- ing Alumni gathering and Christmas formal. Spring Se- mester was also a busy time for the Delts. In February, the broth- ers took on the task of renovat- ing their house on S. College Avenue, and traveled to Charleston, West Virginia for a Regional Conference. The an- nual brother/pledge softball game and barbecue were held in March, and in April the broth- ers had a fundraising book raf- fle. In May, Delta Tau Delta held its traditional Delt Weekend, their spring formal, which was followed by their annual cook- out. Throughout the year, the Delts also hosted mixers, happy hours, and numerous parties.

Kappa Alpha is an Order of Christian Knights pledged to the highest ideals of character and achievement. They are "South- ern Gentlemen" who uphold the honor of God and women. The Beta Epsilon chapter, the first fraternity here at the University of Delaware, was installed April 29, 1904. With an active membership of 81 men, the KAstle is filled with enthusiasm and spirit. A new addition to the KAstle is their housemother, Mrs. Bertha C. Layne, a 1926 graduate of the university. Housemothers are a Kappa Alpha tradition and Mrs. Layne has proven to be an asset to the fraternity. KA began the fall semester with theme parties, date par- ties, tailgates, and, of course, Homecoming and Christmas celebrations. January highlight- ed KA's convivium, a tribute to spiritual leader Robert E. Lee. This celebration also marked the 80th year of Kappa Alpha's presence at the university. Spring semester featured fun- draising for Muscular Dystro- phy, mixers, a toga party, St. Patty's Day party, work week, and the annual Old South Ball at the Hercules Country Club in Wilmington.

Lambda Beta chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha was installed at the University in December 1965. Since then, the active chapter has grown to 67 men.

The brothers that make up Lambda Chi hold a variety of beliefs and interests, but all are brought together by the bonds of friendship that come from working and being together. Unique to Lambda Chi is the concept of the ''associate brother" — no distinctions are made between fully initiated brothers and newly associated ones. The chapter's various activi- ties included "Bounce For Breath" — dribbling a basket- ball to collecting pledges from corporations and local contributors. The money collected went to Cystic Fibrosis research. In addition, the broth- ers enjoyed mixers, tailgates, date parties, and intramurals. The members of Lambda Chi Alpha feel that the best way to learn about fraternity life is to learn it from the inside. This not only makes for better under- standing of the Greek way of life — "it makes for the best friends you'll ever have."

This year, the brothers of Phi Tau were quite active. Once again, the fraternity sponsored the 5-K for Bruce, a race held to raise funds for Bruce Peisino. The race was a huge success, and over $2000 was raised for Bruce's benefit. During Spring Semester, the brothers celebrated their 60th Anniversary Founder's Day and Franklin S. McMuller Com- memoration Day. Phi Tau also enjoyed a full social calendar, which included mixers, winter and spring weekend formals, and their traditional Toga party. Phi Kappa Tau is a strong and growing fraternity dedicated to academic, community, cam- pus, and social activities. The brothers of Phi Tau participated in a variety of activities, which included campus activity groups, varsity and intramural sports, ROTC, and community fund raisers.

Pi Kappa Alpha 199 Tau Koppo Epsilon Fraternity hod its beginnings in 1899 when it was founded at Illinois Wesleyan University. The Nu Pi chapter of TKE at Delaware's campus was initially the Delta Epsilon Chi colony, residing in Ivy Hall Apartments. On March 6, 1971 Nu Pi was installed as the 303rd TKE Chapter.

Tau Kappa Epsilon strives to be involved in many community activities. Some of TKE's annual activities include helping Fresh- men during moving day, volun- teer work for the Newark Com- munity Day, assisting at a chil- dren's Haunted House on Halloween, and the Keg Roll for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. In addition, TKE is involved in intramural, competitive and re- creational sports. These include touch football, broomball, in- door soccer, softball, water polo, volleyball, racquetball, and basketball. Along with these activities, the brothers of TKE maintained a full social calendar. Events in- cluded mixers with other frater- nities and sororities, a New Year's Eve and St. Patty's Day Party, and a Skating Party at the university ice rink. Highlighting the spring semester was TKE's Spring Formal, held at the Gran- nery in Georgetown, Maryland, which was followed by the Alumni Picnic the next day.
