The Sigma Pi Alpha Honorary Language Fraternity of
Gardner-Webb is composed of students taking foreign languages.
To become a member one must have an unusual interest in
languages and a high scholastic average.
The purpose of the fraternity is to stimulate interest; to
acquire a more intimate knowledge of the people, life, customs,
geography, history, industries, and cultures of foreign coun
tries, and to make a contribution toward bringing about a bet
ter understanding between these countries and our own.
YOUNG WOMAN'S AUXILIARY
The Young Woman’s Auxiliary, which has one general
meeting and one circle meeting each month, seeks to educate
those women who are interested in the world need for Christ.
Through this organization one is given the opportunity to con
tribute to home and foreign missions by prayer, service and
financial aid.
The aim of the Young Woman’s Auxiliary is to unite the
young women of our campus in an enduring missionary enter
prise through which they will show forth the purity and beauty
of the Christ-like character, living a radiant and convincing
life in all social relations.
BAPTIST STUDENT UNION
The Baptist Student Union serves as the connecting link
between the college and the local Baptist church.
This group seeks to enlist every student on the campus
in active Christian work, and make Christian living a reality
to every member of the college family. Every student who joins
the local church or Sunday School, the Training Union, Y.W.A.,
or Christian Volunteer Band, automatically becomes a member
of the Baptist Student Union.
This organization is in charge of conducting a Vespers
service each evening on the campus, and each year is respon
sible for a study course and a revival.
The Baptist Student Union serves as a unifying force to
tie together all the religious clubs and organizations on the
campus and operate them under the overall guidance of a
central agency.
