Alpha was founded at in 1845 to make it the tenth oldest national social fraternity and the oldest national fraternity on the Marshall Campus. The local chapter, Beta-Delta, was founded at Marshall in 1922 in the name of Simga Psi and in 1929 it became Mu chapter of Alpha . In September 1946, and Alpha Kappa Pi merged and retained the name of Alpha Sigma Phi. The reason for this merger was to give a better and more marked service to undergraduate chapters. Highlights of Alpha Sigma Phi's social activities are the "Evergreen Ball," the "Star Dance" and the Bohemian Ball.

Two years of achievements were recorded in the giant fourteen-page Anniversary Edi­ tion of the Sigs Phinal which appeared on May 1st. Two years of outstanding develop­ ments by Beta-Delta chapter from the found­ ing of the Sigs Phinal to the starting of its third year. Two years which the fraternities' own newspaper recorded the events and achievements and passed them on to our alumni, to other chapters of Alpha Sigma Phi all over the country, and to other organi­ zations on the campus. The Sigs Phinal has had for its goal the progression of the fraternity and Marshall College. It has lived up to its slogan: "For ' . a better Fraternity-for a better College."

At the end of this year, TEP will celebrate its third birthday, but you'd never know they were so young by looking at them and at the place they hold at Marshall. Under the capable leadership of this year's officers, this fraternity has really gone places. Our social affairs, among which were the Sweatheart Ball, the Sweater Hop, the Valentine Ball and the Christmas Dance have, to put it mildly, attracted a great deal of favorable notice both on and off the campus. The TEP intramural teams this year proved themselves beyond any doubt as a group to be reckoned with in almost any athletic event. DR. JULIUS LIEBERMAN Incidentally, Tau Epsilon Phi won the Interfraternity Council Scholarship Adviser Trophy this past semester, which makes a grand total of five consecutive semesters in all .. . and that's not bad. All things considered, it's been a good year for both TEP and Marshall, and we're looking forward to a great many more.
