Alpha Sigma Phi was founded at Yale University 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 Kappa Pi. In September 1946, Alpha Sigma Phi 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. 84 Jim Amodio Robert S. Bickel Jimmie A. Brown John L.

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."

These chapters are located at most of the prominent universities and colleges throughout the United States and Canada. Lambda Chi Alpha owns its present large office building ih Indianapolis, Indiana, and employs four full-time traveling secretaries who visit the chapters periodically and maintain their contact with the general fraternity. The "Cross and Crescent" is the fraternity magazine pub­ lished four times annually. On the Marshall campus, Zeta Zeta chapter was founded in December 1946 and, though still in its early years, has taken an active part in all major activities on campus and produced some of the most important campus leaders. It has maintained second place in scholarship for several years. There are also more faculty members at Marshall in Lambda Chi Alpha than in any other fraternity on the campus.
