The Scarabean Club's petition to Alpha Delta Pi was sponsored by the Columbia Alumnae Club of that sorority. In February of 1928 tho Beta Epsilon chapter of A. D. Pi was chartered, thus becoming the first national sorority on the- Caro lina campus. About the same time another club, the Chi Omega Beta club, was es'tablished. The members, with the hell) of the Columbia alumnae, petitioned for Chi Omega mem bership. In late winter of 1928 the Eta Gamma chapter of Chi 0. was established at Carolina. Delta Zeta claims the honor of being the third national sorority chartered here. The members of the Alpha Gamma Club were suc cessful in their petition to D. Z., and in June 1928 the Beta 'Delta chapter received its charter. One of the charter members of Delta Zeta has been their guest during rush week. In the spring of 1927 Beta Zeta was started with tl1e purpose of petitioning for Deita DelA Delta. The alumnae in and around Co lumbia were interested and helped them get their charter. The Al pha Lambda chapter of Tr Delt was installed on the Carolina cain pus November 28, 1928. The fifth sorority established here was Zeta Tau Alpha. The nucleus was Zeta Phi, which'began in the fall of 1927. The members were successful in their petition, and a charter was granted to the Beta Omicron chapter in February of 1929. Two years passed before another scrority was brought to the Caro lina campus. Pi Beta Phi had its -beginnigs in the Gamma Sigma Club. They succeeded in getting a charter in October of 1931. Sev eral of the Pi Phi national officers were present when the Alpha chapter was' established then. There war an interval of nine years before another sorority en tered the hallowed halls of Caro lina. In 1939 a group of girls formed the Kappa Delta Club with the intention of p)etitioning for a soroDIly. Their petition was suc cessful, and in 1940 the Beta Zeta chapter of Kappa Delta was char tered. Five years later the members of Sigma Delta succeeded in their petition to Alpha Epsilon Phi. When the Alpha Pi chapter was 1chartered June 9, 1945, four na tional officers made up their in stallation team. Those were the days of rapidly increasing enrollment. Both the faculty and the students realized that a new sorority was needed; so on January 1, 1946 Delta Tau, Carolina's youngest sorority was established. ross wn to get Cl ing Service? the Campus espe its' convenience.

M New Course In Religious Truth Given Rockford, Ill. - (I.P.) - A new course, "Practice of Religion," which is being taught at Rockford College, is an innovation among college religion courses, according to the Rev. Paul Washburn, lec turer in religion at the college. "This course helps students cor relate their religion and philosophy with the other knowledge they are gaining," he said. Students from various faiths are enrolled in it and the course is limited to upper classmen, he explained. Heavy reading assignments in such books as Trueblood's "The Predicament of Modern Man," Van Dusen's "Reali ty and Religion" and Fleming's "Bringing Our World Together" compose the major.reading require ments for the seminar. In class meetings, the students, whb have widely divergent majors in college, discuss the material and exchange ideas. "I do not attempt to force my religious convictions upon the stu dents and the study is made as ob jective as possible," Mr. Washburn declared. "I do, however feel that courses in religion and philosophy are beneficial for college students because the provide the correlat ing disciplines in a curriculum. "College students have a ten dency to do one of three things with their religion. They may dis card it because it seems out of harmony with other things they are learning; they may 'compart mentalize' it, turning it into a Sunday morning ritual; or they may learn to correlate it with the other knowledge theyr are gaining. "Courses in religion are designed to help students achieve the latter solution. It is most essential that students learn to accept truth wherever it is found, and that they find a way of correlating all truth in a practical and livable experi ence," he concluded.
