Henry, assistant registrar, yester day gave out the annual figures on how much work the Greek chapters were doing along scholastic lines. In the report it was stated that the year average for 1937-38 was "C". Ten of the 26 fraternities and so rorities then registered equaled or surpassed this general figure. The total number of men and women in secret societies rose from 470 in the fall quarter to 4S8 in the winter, and then to the grand total of 585 during the spring quarter. It wa3 in the winter quarter that the best work was done, the general average being about a "C" plus. System Of Marking Dr. Henry used the following system in marking: "A" is the equivalent of 1.00; "B" equals 2.00; - l o fin . r v v m E4uai lv uuv, u is tiiu same as 4.00; "E" equals 5.00; and "F" is the equivalent of 6.00. Those fraternities and sororities which ranked above the average are: Zeta Psi, which maintained an even 2.60 throughout the year; Pi Beta Phi, which came back strongly with 2.74, after a first quarter 3.21; Al pha Tau Omega, also with 2.74; Phi Gamma Delta with a 2.85 average; Zeta Beta Tau close behind with 2.86; Sigma Alpha Epsilon which had a steady 2.95; Delta Psi, with 2.97;. Chi Phi, just under the deadline with 2.99; and Chi Psi and Kappa Sigma with an even 3.00. The rankings of other fVatemities on the campus are: Sigma Nu, 3.05; Delta Kappa Ensilon. 3.06: Alnha Epsilon Pi, 3.06; Kappa Alpha, 3.07; Phi Delta Theta, 3.10; Pi Kappa Al pha, 3.18; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 3.31; Beta Theta Pi, 3.35; Sigma Chi, 3.38; Lambda Chi Alpha, 3.38; and Phi Alpha, unheard from.
