The International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi Professional Commerce and Business Administration Fraternity Delta Sigma Pi was founded at New York University, School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance, on November 7, 1907, by Alexander F. Makay, Alfred Moysello, Harold V. Jacobs and H. Albert Tienken. Delta Sigma Pi is a professional fraternity organized to foster the study of business in universities; to encourage scholarship, social activity and the association of students for their mutual advancement by research and practice; to promote closer affilia· tion between the commercial world and students of commerce; and to further a high standard of commercial ethics and culture, and the civic and commercial welfare of the community.

Eight is the number of winter quarter pledges who were initiated on April 5 into the brother­ hood of the Alpha Epsilon Chapter. Probably the highlight of the recent initiates' pledging program was the traditional "Pledge Party" held March I at the chapter house. The theme of the party which was a costume affair was "Peaks of Civilization" and found everyone enjoying themselves in a variety of garb repre­ senting almost every phase of human life. Not wishing to let our pledging program lag, Senior Warden Robert Findorff saw to it that initiation was preceded by a smoker held the Tuesday before, and from all indications it looks as if the spring quarter will find us with a fine pledge class. Recent professional meetings have included an enlightening talk by Professor Heller of our School of Business Administration.

A great deal of credit is also due Brothers Woodruff and Vargulich for their work on the rushing com­ mittee.

124 Th e May, 1952, ISSUE of MISSISSIPPI STATE S PRING SEMESTER at Mississippi State College opened with Gamma Delta Chapter right in the swi ng of things, the first of these being the annual orientation week rushing functions. The approach to the rushees has been one of personal contacts and has proved to be extremely effective. Each fra· ternity brother had the privilege of picking from a list of men which Brother P eter Koury gathered together through a survey which covered all eligible men for membership in the School of Business. By this method we feel we have selected the best 'men available. The Smoker for the rushees consisted of an opening speech made by our Head Master Frank Smith, refreshments, and a movie con· cerned with time and motion. Our main project this semester is getting furniture for our new fraternity room. A few of the members have made donations of small things personally.

Th e DELTASIG of DELTA SIGMA PI 125 DE PAUL ALPHA OMEGA CHAPTER at the De Paul University is happy to announce that we have initiated 15 new brothers. We know they will help uphold and further the prestige and achievement of the chapter. At the formal initiation held at the La Salle Hotel, February 10, 1952, we were honored to have with us a member of the Grand Council, Robert G. Busse of the Central Region, and Assistant Grand Secretary-Treasurer, J. D. Thomson. Their presence did much to impress our new brothers with the fine spirit of brotherhood. These are "Forum" days as chairman Jack Brown and his committee along with the brothers are working hard to make the "De • Paul University Forum on Americanism" a success. Last year our chapter presented a series of four lectures on "Communism" which was very successful. This year the current topic of grave importance is "Americanism," featuring four outstanding educators. They are THE INITIATION of Gamma Theta Chapter at Wayne University in Detroit.

The event was so successful that the chapter plans to make it an annual affair. Be­ tween semesters Brother John Smith invited the chapter to a party at hi home in Winsdor, Ontario. Everyone was stiff for weeks as a re­ sult of our vigorous square dancing. On January 5, eight new members were in­ itiated into our chapter. A banquet was he!d after the initiation at the Stockholm Res­ taurant. The new brothers were greeted by many alumni and several faculty members.

126 The May, 1952, ISSUE of RIDER 8 ETA XI CHAPTER at Rider College held its Annual Initiatory Formal, February 9, 1952, at Jack Fowler's Inn, New Jersey. At this time, the Beta Xi Chapter welcomed into its active membership 14 new members from the spring pledge season, and 36 new brothers from the fall pledge season. Approximately 82 active brothers and 41 alumni attended the formal dinner-dance. Miss Janet Hines, a native Trentonian, was crowned by Province Officer Michael Dowd as the 1952 "Rose of Deltasig." She was also presented with a wristwatch by Steve Van Zandt, chairman of the "Rose" committee. The idea of having a "Rose of Deltasig" was conceived by Alumni Brother Alfred J. Betros of our chapter and presented at the Minneapolis Grand Chapter Congress. As the result of elections held on February 20, John S. Erdie, was elected our new head master.

Over 30 members and pledges toured the Shell Oil Compa~y's refinery at Norco, Louisiana, some 20 m1les from New Orleans. This plant was founded in 1916 fqr the purpose of making asphalt, but wa taken over by the Shell Oil Company in 1928. The plant now makes gasoline, butane, cumine. asphalt, and several other products. This plant was the first to make cumine, which is the base for 100 octane gasoline, at the beginning of World War II. The tour carried us through the refining part of the plant, the offices, and the accounting department. After the tour, we en· joyed a chicken lunch given in our honor by the Shell Oil Comoany.
