DELTA DELTA DELTA In 1888, at Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts, Sarah Ida 3haw, Eleanor Dorcas Pond, Florence Isabelle Stewart and [sabel Morgan Breed founded Delta Delta Delta. In 1923, the colors of silver, gold, and cerulean blue, the pansy, and the pearl became a part of the University of South Carolina as the Alpha Lambda chapter of Delta Delta Delta. Tri Delta traditionally presents many awards for outstanding performance in various fields. One of these, the Leadership Award, is given to the member of a collegiate chapter who has shown outstanding leadership. The recipient of the award re ceives a piece of silver, and the chapter enjoys for a year the use of a beautiful silver tray and punch bowl. Among the activities partici pated in by the members are the Pine party, A p p I e Polishing party, P a n s y breakfast and Founders day. The Pine parties are Christmas parties given by the alumni for the collegiates. The pledges entertain the actives with a show and comical gifts, and a poem depicting each indi vidual girl is exchanged around the Christmas tree. The Apple Polishing party is given to show appreciation to the individual professors invited by the members. The Pansy breakfast, originating in 1927, is almost a national event each year. A ring, made of pansies, large enough to step through is a dis tinctive feature of the breakfast. Founders Day is celebrated each Thanksgiving with an in spirational banquet to which all alumnae are Invited. The Convention is the supreme governing body of the fraternity. It meets in the even numbered years. Members choose delegates who represent -them at the con vention and through them have a voice in the government of the fraternity. Parties are given for under privileged children, there is par ticipation in clean-up drives, work on local campaigns for na tional service organizations, such as the Red Cross. * * * KAPPA ALPHA "In 1865 at Washington and Lee there lived a band of soldier NOT A SIGN 4 Typing errors disappear like Corrasable Bond.

This is the song in the hearts of all Kappa Alpha's both here and elsewhere as they leave col lege to go into all the phases of life. In 1881, Rho Ohapter of the Kappa Alpha Order brought the colors of crimson and old gold to the University of South Carolina. Each year, the KA's of Graves Province, the province including the University, Wofford and other surrounding colleges and universities, ceremonfously se cedes from the Union on the State House steps, and from there, pro ceed to enjoy a weekend of Kappa Alpha Order fellowship, dressed in appropriate costumes of pre-War of Northern Aggres sion. At this time, the KA with the best beard is given recogni tion. Kappa Alpha plays host each year to the student body and alumni at the traditional Tea Dance, a big feature each year during the Clemson - Carolina holidays. Last spring, KA was awarded the Inter - Fraternity Council scholarship trophy. This makes the third consecutive year the chapter has received this award. A toast is given to General Robert E. Lee and is called the Convivium. This is a tribute to General Lee and is usually a fea ture held each year. Every year, the Rho Chapter of Kappa Alpha Order gives a Christmas party for the orphans at the Carolina Ohildren's Home. At this time, present Carolina students share with Carolina stu dents of tomorrow, maybe, gifts and joy that comes along with the celebration of Christmas day, which otherwise may not have been such a happy occasion for these children.
