The Student Senate is proud to report that its first Books Sale and Co-op was very successful. Relying only on books brought in from
students on a consignment basis, the Co-op handled over $700 worth of books and many students found good bargains. If you see
any books on the following list that you would like to buy, contact Robert Schley (x 1178) or Kathy Dunn (x 1172)

Fraternity life at Southwestern is an
aspect of education many students
cherish. It allows different individuals
to come together and find self-
expression in a common goal, and
carry out those goals in unity, and
"brotherhood.”
There are four fraternities at S.U.:
Phi Kappa Alpha (Pikes), Phi Delta
Theta (Phis), Kappa Sigma (Sigs), and
Kappa Alpha (KA’s). Each of these
four, according to various fraternity
members, allows the individual to find
his niche, and provide a comfortable
atmosphere and compatible group of
people. “To me, it (Phi Delta Theta)
was a group where I felt at home,”
remarked Jimmy Kipple, when asked
why he decided to join the Phis. He
became interested after going to a few
fraternity parties, and was also drawn
in by the “brotherly aspect” of the
fraternity.
For prospective “pledges,” reasons
to join a fraternity might include the
opportunity to meet new people, to
“become more out going,” and receive
“good emotional, and academic sup-
port.” Fraternities claim to offer a
sense of security not offered elsewhere.
Many members believe that the
fellowship and social activities at-
tainable in fraternities are unequaled
elsewhere on campus.
How does a fraternity serve the stu-
dent, once he has become a member?
As mentioned above, emotional and
academic support, and an opportunity
for long-lasting friendships. According
to Jimmy Kipple a fraternity allows in-
dividuals “to live, interact, and grow
together and learn responsibility...an
experience you couldn’t have in a
dorm. We’ve all made the same com-
mitment to each other and to the
fraternity.”
Ways of serving the fraternity, ac-
cording to a Pi Kappa Alpha member,
are by supporting and becoming in-
volved in its activities, which are com-
prised of sports, social gatherings, and
fund-raising projects, as well as regular
“chapter meetings.” Dues for fraterni-
ty members are approximately $150 per
semester (plus or minus $50, depending
on the organization).
To become a member, one must at-
tend the "rush” -- a time when those
desiring to join assemble together and
make their attempt. The advantages of
rush are: l.the students may meet all
the members of the fraternity they wish
to join, 2.assess the costs - both finan-
cial and time considerations. The main
obvious disadvantage of rush is that
students may be rejected from their
quest, and it is a highly emotional oc-
cassion, which could cause severe
depression to one who is rejected.
Also, said one fraternity member, the
organizations may not necessarily
represent their true character and
ideals at rush, thus misleading in-
dividuals into something they were not
prepared for. Reasons for rejection are
usually on the basis of “noncompati-
ble personalities/’ Members are
chosen by a chapter vote, which often
must be unanimous.
Whether or not the advantages of
fraternity life outweigh the disadvan-
4 tages is a matter of personal opinion.
Some prefer to remain “independent,”
and seek such fellowship on their own:
Others prefer life as a frat, member.
Says one member: “A fraternity is for
life. Brothers wilj be some of your best
friends for the rest of your life. It’s an
opportunity to grow and mature as a
member of the group in good times or
bad. It’s a learning experience.”

We at ZTA have been quite busy
lately. In addition to our dazzling new
pledges we also welcomed new
officers. They are: President, Sandy
Smith; Vice-President, Sarah Hyde;
Director of Pledge Programming,
Laurie Rothammer; Treasurer, Sam-
antha Zika; Secretary, Tish MeLel-
land; Ritual, Donna Syvertson;
Historian/Reporter, Liz Lane; Mem-
bership, Rebecca Lincoln; Pannhel-
lenic, Jenifer Peel.
We anticipate a fantastic year
ahead.
Our seven new big brothers are:
Eric Fox, Mike Henry, Travis Mathis.
Jon Morris, and Danny Whitaker. We
are really proud to call these guys our
own! Plans are in the making for all
kinds of activities to get these men
"Zeta-fied."
We’ve been having so much fun with
our pledges...remember girls, it isn’t
just anyone we’d stand in puddles for
and sing songs with in 20-degree
weather. We also thank Russel
Martin for accompanying us on that
special outing. Thanks also to Laurie
and Jenifer for having us all over to
their apartment for movies Saturday
night, even if the electricity didn’t
cooperate. We had a great time and
“we just...really...love our pledges.”
Also in the plans for this semester is
our annual big brother Road Rally
and many other “challenging"events.
Spring Formal is April 20!
We hope that your semester has had
a good start and that you have
recovered from the hectic Rush
weekend Congratulations to all the
Fraternities and Sororities for their
new pledges.
We are excited about the Spring
1985 Pledge Class which is comprised
of Stewart DeWitt, Bill Ehrhart, Hal
Cromwell, Jamie Royce, Bill Breen,
Alex Perches, Corey Anderson, Scott
Bailey, Scott Butler, David Day, Kelly
Forrester, Gayion Morris, Neil Grant
and Drek Kempf.
We were fortunate, as well, to have
Jim Harvey visit last week. He is a
Phi Delt alumnus of The University of
California - Irvine. He works at
present for the Phi Delta Theta
National Fraternity in Oxford, Ohio.
He discussed the fraternity system
in general, brought us up-to-date on
( the progress of our fraternity, and
gave us many ideas we hope to use in
the future.
We would like to announce that we
are planning to arrange a city softball
tournament for Feb. 9-10. More
information is forthcoming.
