Selection-the hey to progress
Within the Fraternity we recognize certain chapters as being consistently outstanding in organization, in scholarship, and in leadership. Since we issue the same directives, present the same program, and offer the same guidance to all chapters, we can only assume that the differ ence lies in personnel. It seems evident that these same chapters exercise thoughtful and unceasing care in selecting their members. Good membership selection demands from both the alumnre recommenders and the active chapters objectivity, good judgment, discernment, and selflessness-a willingness to place the welfare of the Fraternity above personal interests. What should we look for in selecting our members, and how do we recognize the qualities we seek? We seek the girl with sufficient intelligence and intellectual curiosity to insure her not just "making her grades," but to carry, in addition to her academic responsibilities, activities within the chapter and on the campus. We seek not only the leader who will bring us honors and who can guide the destinies of the chapter, but the loyal, cooperative, dependable follower. We seek girls of integrity, stability, sound character, and high standards of conduct. We seek girls who are congenial. By this we mean girls who are not only congenial with the members of the chapter, who have with them a bond of mutual interests and who are pleasant to live with, but girls who are in sympathy with our ideals and with the basic concepts of Fra ternity. To admit to membership those who are at variance with our philosophy is to create a source of conflict and bodes unhappiness for those individuals and the chapters of which they are members. As a guide in selecting members we have our recommendations system, through which our alumnre present to our chapters those girls who possess the qualifications for membership. From these candidates the chapters then make their choice. This places a grave responsibility upon both the recommenders and upon the chapters. A recommendation is just what the name implies; how is it possible to recommend-to underwrite a . girl about whom one knows virtually nothing? How can the most haphazard, cursory investigation, based on hearsay, guarantee that a girl possesses the attributes we desire? Why should a chapter to which many outstanding girls have been presented cast about for recom mendations on girls who are a completely unknown quantity? Without a properly filled in recom mendation actually in hand how is it possible to have the necessary. information on which to base a decision? Every girl pledged has some sort of influence, whether beneficial or adverse, for a period of many years to come. Thrice blessed is the outstanding girl who brings us honor and credit and who draws into the Fraternity girls of like calibre. She is the strong alumna of the future, the potential chapter adviser and fraternity officer. Our aim is the development of the individual, but this presupposes the individual is capable of development. Since a fraternity, in the last analysis, is the sum-total of its membership, its progress-its achievements-are determined by the ability and quality of that membership. In this, the Spring of the year, as we look forward to the coming rush seasons, remember this: when you select today's pledge class, you are building the chapter and the Fraternity of tomorrow.

A fter five years of careful consideration and study the board of trustees of Texas Christian University has opened the campus to a chosen group of fraternities and sorori ties, Among the number invited to establish chapters on the campus is Kappa. The first rushing period was completed in February with 21 new colonizers who became the charter members of Epsilon Alpha chapter which was installed April 12-13. Full de tails of the installation will be carried in the October issue of The Key. TCU is now located in Fort Worth, Texas, a growing city of 300,000. The graceful spire of the chapel in the new Religion In 1873 AddRan Male and Female College, Center towers over the Texas Christian campus. The center was founded at Thorp's Spring, Texas. In 1889 was dedicated May 9, 1954. the name was changed to AddRan Christian University and the property taken over by the Christian Churches. In 1'895 the college moved to Waco and in 1902 the name was changed to Texas Christian University. In 1910 the cam pus was moved to downtown Fort Worth and one year later the school opened on the present campus. The history of the University is in a large measure the history of Texas. When TCU was founded, Texas was a comparative frontier state. The University is composed of eight schools and colleges with a present enroll ment of over 4,000 students. It is a co-educa tional and Christian institution. Its students are of all creeds and faiths. ••nare to stand lor the best you Ia now~~

Jane Bown, 1:1 0-lowa State, now holds what the Fall, 1954 issue of Modern Miss, a fashion magazine for home economists, describes as "undoubtedly one of the world's biggest buying jobs for women." As national pattern buyer for Sears Roebuck's piece goods departments, she guides and assists the more than 350 pattern operations, ad vises on buying trends, plans promotion for them and chooses the patterns and fabrics shown in the Sears catalog. Jane graduated from Iowa State in 1950 with her degree as an applied arts major in home economics. Soon after she left her home in Des Moines for Chicago where she could put her talents to work. For two years she did research for buyers on men's clothing and accessories in Sears merchandise comparison office. Two years later she was chosen from six girls to become assistant pattern buyer. Six months later Jane found herself the head of the department. According to Modern Miss "Jane loves to dream up ideas. The first time she worked on the catalog, she decided customers might like younger looking versions of classic styles. A jump in sales showed she was right." Our talented member makes nearly all her own clothes, often combining several pat terns to obtain the wanted design. Her knowledge of textiles learned in college has been an asset. She must know what materials should be offered fo1· her chosen patterns. Where a fabric actually has to be tested before being made up to a pattern, as a gifted needle-woman, Jane is able to make a first hand test. • • in Zeta provin~e?
