Alpha Chi Omega At DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, seven undergraduate music majors aspired to form an organiza- tion based on understanding and friendship. On October 15, 1885 this goal was real- ized in the form of Alpha Chi Omega Soroority. Today, with more than 115 colle- giate and 324 alumnae chap- ters, Alpha Chi proudly dis- plays their musical chord to the past in the form of the lyre, an ancient Greek harp, chosen as the symbol for their sorority pin. The Epsilon Rho chapter was installed at the Universi- ty of Delaware in 1972, giv- ing them the distinction of being the first sorority on campus. Last year they cele- brated their first ten years here. This year proved no less a thrill when in the fall, Laurel Wyner, a junior com- munications major, was Linda Bailey Kathy Dickey Barb Louett Joyce Schieck crowned Homecoming Jill Barbieri Jamie Dilorio Danielle Masleh Lisa Shannon Queen.

Their goal: to promote friendship, brotherhood, am- bition and idealism. The Rho Deuteron chapter of AEP: was established at the Uni- versity of Delaware in 1925 and has been thriving ever since. The rapid growth of Alpha Epsilon Pi on our campus was recognized this year, and because of it, the National organization be- stowed on them the honor of hosting the fraternities East- ern Regional Conclave. The brothers engage in many aspects of campus life. Scholastically, they continue to bring home the cup for the highest overall Grade Point Average of the fraternities on campus.

Robbie Raffish Greeks 121 Alpha Kappa Alpha In 1908 at Howard Uni- versity in Washington D.C. seven Black women took a courageous step that would change the face of the Soror- ity system in universities around the world; the forma- tion of Alpha Kappa Alpha, the first college-based Greek letter society founded by these Black women. Because of their initiative, AKA has grown to a membership over 80,000 strong with more than 6,000 chapters located throughout the United States, West Africa, Ger- many and the Bahamas. Lambda Gamma Chapter was chartered here at the University in February of 1977. Their goals extend to cultivating and encouraging high scholastic and ethical standards, promoting unity and friendship among col- lege women, and to the study of problems concerning girls Danita E. Daniels and women in order to better Sabrina K. Matthews improve the social standing Risco D. Mention of the race. Ruth A. Warrington Much of AKA's time is devoted to following the goal of their motto; "Service to All Mankind" events for this year have included a "Wine and Cheese Sip" for the Ad- ministration and Black Greeks on campus. The sis- ters hosted an evening dedi- cated to the exchange of in- formation on future careers and became involved in the highly successful Fourth An- nual Greek Step Show. Their Fall fundraising involved a bake sale on behalf of the Negro College Fund.

The Delta Chi chapter at the University of Delaware is eleven years old this year and continues in support of the Arthritis Foundation, their main phil- anthropy. Last year they raised $750 for the Founda- tion, and this year their do- nation once again came from a 24-hour Whiffleball Mara- thon in the Fall. During their first semester rush, AOPi re- ceived 19 pledges; the soror- ity now boasts 44 sisters. A Founders Day Formal, Homecoming Parent Day Tailgate, Bowling Night, and a Sister pledge sleepover marked some of their social activities this year, not to forget parties and hay rides.

The Phi's public motto "Union Hand in Hand," was carried to Delaware in 1972 when six women organized Kappa Chi Sorority. Later this became the Epsilon Nu Chapter of Alpha Phi. Fam- ous Phi's include Raquel Welch, Mrs. Norman Vin- cent Peale, and Liz Carpen- ter. The Phi's have been busy this year with various philan- thropic activities, including a lollipop sale for the Heart Fund and selling Dr. Pepper for the March of Dimes. Other activities of the Alpha Phi's included a Founders Day Dance, Greek Barbecue during Greek Week, a fam- Angela Ahern Kim Czerwincki Maureen Knott Ruth Rogolsky ily picnic at Lum's Pond, and Libby Arnold Lauren DeAngelas Jane Laird Aleta Sheary a Spring Formal at Hercules Veronica Attanasia Sheri Distefano Carolyn Leonard Erica Smith Country Club.

The fraternity has its birth across the near- by Pennsylvania border at LaFayette College in Eas- ton, Pennsylvania. Based on the Scouting tradition, their three cardinal principles are leadership, friendship, and service. As in years past, APO of- fers a book exchange service for University students. The fraternity also organizes a blood drive each semester, provides free campus deliv- ery of Christmas cards dur- ing the holiday season, helps with the annual Newark Community Day celebra- tion, and sets up an obstacle course at Student Center Night on the second floor of the building each year.
