[he Iota chapter of Phi Sigma Pi was installed on our tampus. It is the only male fraternity, and since its installation it has been one of the most active bodies in our college community. The three basic principles of Phi Sigma Pi are Knowledge, Trainand Fellowship. Based on these three principles. Phi Sigma Pi requires outstanding qualities of leadership in its members, both in the professional and social life on the campus. ing, At the beginning of our 1943-1944 school year, our fraternity functioned with a much smaller membership than usual. This was due to the fact that many of our fellow members had entered the armed service of our country. But those who remained kept the spirit of Phi Sigma Pi and never gave it a chance to die. In January. 1944. when formal initiations were held, ten new members were welcomed into our fraternits. Also a number of Navy V-12 students, who were members of other chapters of Phi Sigma Pi. were invited to our meetings. A number of social meetings and cchic alinnal programs discussions conlriliutcd to an enjovable and piofitalile year. 78 and Ki.1. I E. Martin H. Miller First Row. Left to Itiulit— M. Stitzel. E.
