Men and women from the colleges of Management, Indus- trial Engineering, and Textile Engineering are eligible for membership. The business and social aspects are combined to form a unique organization. Professionally, AKPsi has much to offer. Throughout the year, the fraternity spon- sors guest speakers from the business community around Atlanta. Georgia's Secretary of State, Max Cleland, spoke in early October to members of the frater- nity, students, and faculty. Two other dis- tinguished speakers that addressed the fraternity were a Southern Bell represen- tative and H. Stockton, author of "How to Dress for Success." The fraternity's an- nual plant trip was to Chateau Elan, a winery in North Georgia. AKPsi sponsored several service proj- ects during the year. Members donated clothes and canned goods to welfare or- ganizations and participated in the March of Dimes Walk-a-thon during the spring.

In May of this year, the chapter held its formal at the Pierremont Plaza, which was a joint effort with other A K Psi chapters.

Orig- inally formed as an organization that Boy Scouts could continue their devotion to the Scouting Oath and Law, A-Phi-O has become the largest service-oriented fra- ternity in existence. The Gamma Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega at Georgia Tech is open to all interested students. The chapter spon- sored the "Ugly Man on Campus" contest which raised over $2000 dollars this year for Egleston Children's Hospital and St. Judes. Alpha Phi Omega has also worked with Boy Scout troops, set up PROBE fairs, and helped defeat the University of Georgia in the blood drive.

This profession is re- sponsible for many of the life-sustaining processes such as food manufacturing, agricultural products, and pharmaceutical goods. Maintaining our standard of living depends on the continued growth of this profession. AICHE, a professional organ- ization that represents the chemical en- gineering profession assumes the respon- sibility of recruiting and educating future engineers. The American Institute for Chemical En- gineers presents insight into the chemical engineering profession through guest speakers. This shows future engineers the opportunities available in their field. Also, it gives the students a chance to become familiar with companies whose life force is chemical engineers. In ad- dition, plant trips to various industrial plants give students a firsthand look at chemical engineers in their environment. Career Fair was another opportunity for students to rub elbows with the com- panies' elite. The National AICHE Convention was held in New York City this year. The of- ficers went to represent the Tech chapter. Symposiums and workshops were held to give officers suggestions on how to im- prove their chapters. The southeast re- gional convention was held at the Uni- versity of Kentucky in Lexington.
