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.” Omega Chi sorority, the young est sorority on campus, has not group. Congratulations were extended to the members of Sigma Tau Chi who were honored by their recent selection to “Who’s Who.” They are Miss Sally Scudder, and Miss Ruby Bazemore.

Mr. McFarlane said that other fraternities and sororities on the campus had volunteered their help, and that he would call on them as soon as they are needed. 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.
