Sigma Phi Epsilon

Sigma Phi Epsilon is one of the newer social fraternities on the campus. In December

1947 Alpha Theta Chi, long a local campus leader, undertook the progressive step of

joining a national fraternity and being re-christened , Sigma Phi Epsilon.

We were also the first co publish a post war fraternity newspaper for general circulation.

Our social functions included the annual spring picnic, two informals, and the Sweet­

heart Ball.

Sigma Phi Epsilon

Founded in 1901, Sigma Phi Epsilon is a youngsver among fraternities.

H owever, membership of 37,000, ninety-nine alumni organizations and

108 actives places this youngster well within the "Big Ten."

Locally Sig Ep began as the Alpha Theta Chi Fraternity with founder

James Ford and Professor Selvedge showing the way. From the year 1926

onward, the Alpha Thetas srood out in campus athletics and other student

activities. In December 1947, dreams of national affili ation with Sigma

Phi Epsilon Fraternity began ro grow.

Suco::sses of the year include : freshman class presidency, sophomore class

presidency, freshman representative; a new fraternity house at 521 Eight­

eenth Street; two formal dances and five informals and parries ; multiple

.ream participation in all intramurals; and the establishment of an inter­

mural program consisting of tOurnaments in softball and basketball among

the Sig Ep chapters in the Tri-State area. Sig Eps participated in a mul­

titude of student activities and held many offices therein-Press Club,

College Theatre, Eta Mu Pi, Phi Eta Sigma, Pi Sigma Alpha, and others.

Tau Kappa Epsilon

Tau Kappa Epsilon was established as a national fraternity on the Marshall Campus December

6, 1947. Since that rime the membership has reached the one hundred mark. We have established

ourselves on this campus as the singing fraternity by winning the Interfraternity Sing for the two

years since it was organized. We are particularly proud of our new home which we purchased

this year.

The fraternity has had a very successful season in major intrammal ath letics. Social highligh ts of

the year included our Winter Formal , Shipwreck Island, and the beautiful Festival of the Red

Carnation.

Our membership was strengthened by raking in twelve new members in February including Mr.

Stewart, our new faculty advisor. The pledge class for the spring semester numbers sixteen men.
