New Sorority
May Form
At University
i Joanne Caruso, Panheilenic
.Council president, told council
members last night that members
of Sigma Kappa sorority on cam-j
'pus are trying to organize a chap
ter at the University.
They have already received
permission from the Senate Com
imittee on Student Affairs, she
said. The next step is approval
by Panhel. Miss Caruso asked
each sorority to take the matter
before its chapter. If approval is
given the members must then get
the appro -al of the national Sig
ma Kappa chapter.
Five Now on Campus
Mrs. R. Mae Shultz, adviser to
Panhel, said that there are pres
ently two members and three
pledges of Sigma Kappa on cam
pus.
She also quoted Pearl O. Wes
ton, dean of women, as saying that
there is room for two more soror
ities at the University because of
increased enrollment and addi
tional dormitory facilities which
will provide for 24 suites. There
are now 22 sororities on campus.
If the new sorority is accepted
it will be given a year’s proba
tion on campus. Mrs. Shultz said
that if approval is given for the
group to organize it will be in
stalled when the new dorms are
completed in 1957.
May Take Action
Carolyn Cunningham, former
Women’s Student Government
Association president, spoke about
the necking problem in the dorm
itory lounges. She said that if
some of the “indiscriminate”
necking isn’t ended WSGA may
be forced to take action.
She expressed hope that this
would not be necessary and said
that she feels it would be wrong
to legislate against morals.

vision program.
