nationalization would be a success
ful venture unless at least two
sororities achieved that status.
Miss Peggie Greene, president
of Sigma Tau Chi sorority, found
ed in 1925, reports that members
started in the direction of national-
status last 'year by writing for
booklets containing the necessary
information.
Mr. Charles J. Hartmann, Jr.,
national field representative of Sig
ma Phi Epsilon fraternity, spoke
to interested campus sorority mem
bers on the subject of nationaliza
tion in the fall of 1959.
Sigma Tau Chi members have
corresponded with members of na

College and University of North

organized and how the sororities

jority of the sisters would like to
become nationalized but there
would be difficulty in obtaining
sufficient funds. The Sigma Tau
Chi Alumlnae Association started
a fund this year for the purj>ose
of nationalization, she states.
Mrs. Edward Brown, sponsor,
advocates nationalization on the
basis that it would add prestige
to the campus and toroaden the
relationship of this college to other
colleges. She believes that it would
be a definite asset in spite of the
fact that it would be more time-
consuming and more expensive.
Miss Janet Blackwood, sopho
more member of Sigma Tau Chi,
opposes nationalization: “At pre
sent our sororities are made up
of various types of personalities,
and everyone feels she has a part.
I think nationalization would neces
sarily limit the num/ber of women
who could belong and so detract
from the total spirit.”

est sorority on campus, has not

Congratulations were extended to
the members of Sigma Tau Chi

had time seriously to consider nat
ionalization 'Since its founding in
1956, according to President Carol
Austin.
Miss Austin senses mixed feel
ings among Omega Chi members.
She reports that most of the sis
ters desire nationalization but op
pose it on account of financial rea
sons.
Omega Chi does not yet have a
particular sorority in mind since
they are still in the early stages
of discussion.
“I think sorority life is a very
vital part of a college woman’s
experience, and I feel that, while
national sororities would bring
more prestige and social outlets
to the camjpus, they would limit
the number of girls who would be
able to participate because of fi
nancial reasons,” says Miss Aus
tin.
Mrs. Gordon Coker, having spon
sored Omega Chi for nearly four
years, anticipates nationalization in
view of the fact that the student
body is growing rapidly. She sees
many advantages in the project
but adds that the members should
all be behind it one hundred per
cent.
These facts reflect the attitudes
of the four sororities toward na
tionalization. It will become the
task of the members involved to
weigh the desirable against the
undesirable features that wiU ac
company this possible change and
make the decision which will most
adequately serve the purposes of
their sororities and of their col
lege.
