Sparks', Golf Spirit Awards for SX In recognition of their active participation in campus events, Sigma Chi was awarded the annual spirit trophy given by Sparks, as well as the AAII Golf Tournament Spirit Award. They placed third in Senior Week competition and won the Baptist Student Union's Wacky Relays. They also took the All-Fraternity and All-School in- tramurals. "A man of good character, a student of fair ability, with ambitious purposes; possessed of good morals, having a high sense of personal responsibility ..." will be pledged to Sigma Chi. The fall pledge class was the largest initiated on campus and had the best grade average. The fraternity came in second in campus grade average. Social highlights of the year included the annual orphans' party with Delta Gamma, their May formal and a special party honoring the university's varsity basketball team. The 12th consecutive Derby Day was sponsored by Sigma Chi with the largest number of teams ever entered. The Sigma Chi brothers also aided pledge Howard Puris who was injured in a car accident last October. They gave over 60 pints of blood and Howard recovered to be initiated in February. The Epsilon Xi chapter ended another year by winning the highest possible recognition—the Peterson Significant Chapter Award—for the third year in a row. 229 |
