The Rogin^, Sorority, vrhich vrrs cor>.
paratively inactive l"st year bccause of
f^^ yirlc CG, lifted its head this j-iear
and smiled at the school. This smile
took in new me;.ibers "'Jid changcd to a
broad grin as the Sorority adopted its
om Greek letters, Rho G-imna Alpha.
The first fomal initi-’tion was
held on Friday, Oct. 19. At this time
the ncv; ncnbcrs, Nita Crabbe, Betty
Dangler, Sula Floros, Yfcllene Hodge,
Katherine Ranson, and VcLma Ray, vrcrc
'receiving serious initiation lectures
Vfhon the lowly 'h-rams" of the Keynen
Fraternity not only stopped the lecture,
but spread pandironium throughout the
room. The 'HTorns" craivled in, stacked
the heavy furniture in the middle of the
room and upset the light furniture, took
a srat in each corner of the room,
pulled off their shoes and began patting
their hajids aji singing "Dixie" I The
Sorority found out later that this
interruption ivas just a part of the
Fr-'ternity's initiation.
IIoiT, let's get dovm to fund-amen-
tals. The Regina Sorority vras organ
ized a fcvr years ago at the school to
provide social activity for the girls
attending CC. The girls are acinitted
to Rho Garxia Alpha on the basis of
character, co-operativencss, personal
ity, and interest displayed in the
Sorority,

The KejTien Fraternity of Charlotte
College joined the ranks of junior
college Greek letter social fraternities
last vreek vhen the merAers voted unan
imously to adopt the narie of the Sigma
Lanbda Chi Fraternity. This action vras
taken by the members after having de
bated the change for the last three
months,
All during this last quarter of
school the fraternity has moved closer
and closer to this goal of becoming CC*s
first Greek letter social fraternity.
This movement toward the adoption of a
Greek letter name vias first begun by
several of the members last summer vrhen
there occurred a heated argument over
the right of the fraternity to take in
net' members during the summer quarter of
school, v'hen all of the members of the
fraternity ware not present'to vote on
the candidates. After the differences
of opinion among the nembers were fi«>
nally settled, the fraternity reali'Bed
that this argument had arisen because
of a need for a stronger and more
ir.'.plicit constitution, A committee was
appointed under the leadership of Scotty
Stallings to draw up a completely new
constitution for the frr'ternity,
Y/hen the new constitution was
finished, it contained manj^ changes which
bore the decided char'-ctcristics of a
Greek letter fraternity. This new con
stitution was adopted unanimously by the
members of the fraternity. From this
time on, the movcr.cnt to change to a
Greek letter fraternity'’ spread like wild
fire thro'igh the ranks of the KejTien.
President Steve ILahalcy threw all
his weight behind the Greek mover.ent.
Under his influence, designs for a badge
and key were secured from Balfour, nat»«
ional fraternity jevrelers, and ".'ork was
begun on the writing of an initiation
ritual.
Last vreek the Keymen re ceived an
invitation from a nat?.onal fraternity to
become one of its chapters. This offer
vras turned do-vvn by the KejTjen after due
consideration, because of the limitations
that this affiliation vrould place on a
chapter at Charlotte College. It v/as at
this meeting, held on Llonday, December 3>
that the members of the Keymen Fraternity
vottid unanir.:ously to dhange the name of
the fraternity to Sigma Lar.bda Chi,
All alumni members of the Koymen
Fraternity vrcre automatically made mer>.
bers of the Signa Larbda Chi Fraternity
and caji obtain information on how to
secure their badges and keys by vn'iting
