TRADE PARTIES To better chapter relations with the ISU sororities Rho Phi had trade parties with Sigma Kappa and Alpha Xi Delta. The party with Sigma Kappa was a barndance with a live bluegrass band. "Louie Popejoy" played many of the chapter's favorite songs, such as, "Rocky Top" and "The Graveyard Song." The real highlight of the evening was to square dance. Since, nobody knew how at the start it was fairly chaotie. It learning how proved to be an excellent way to meet the opposite sex by Iiterally bumping into them. Board of E)irectors of the United The theme for the Alpha Xi Delta party was Mexican in nature. The girls came a little early and made taeos and all the fixings. There was a bar serving tradition- a[ Mexican drinks, ￨ nation for membership on the including straight tequila. Later the girls took turns at attempting to break a pinata filled with candy. The rest of the evening was spent socializing and singing around the piano. At both parties a good time was had by all, again this was due to hard work and effort on the part of the social committee and they deserve another round of clicks.

In two long days the Brothers accomplished the fo1low― ing: finished all house painting including the carport and garage, painted the basement and the new study room;finished all three up‐ painted the Graduate Room and finished the new ceiling; and many other irn― provements.

The chapter's social calendar is also full and has certainly been successful. Two trade parties have aided sorority relations. Many mixers and theme parties put us second to none socially. As a consequence of our fairing so well in the above mentioned areas, Rho Phi is attracting a goc d many pledge prospects. As ainxious as I am to make predictions, I shall have to' let Bid Day speak for an entire year's progress by the Brothers of Rho Phi of Phi Gamma Delta.

The auctioneer Ed Doerflein, being a little tipsy, managed to auction off two white mice which had for another gambling game. It was not really such a great feat, but it probably upset been planned ' Brother Parmalee to find out thai the mice were eontained in his aquarium! The Untalent Night enabled the tnembers of Rho Phi to illustrate just how little talent we have. Shows ranged from Mike Goler breaking bricks with Karate to Gil Gauger's famed injured hog call. The social committee formed a band and played "Circuit Breaker" which was written by Ed lJoerflein. The party was indeed a unique experience for all in attendance. The social committee began to grve clues about the "Leb's Make a Deal" party a week before the party. Posters on campus gave such clues as, "Have we got a deai for you" and "What do these things have in common: a year's supply of eskimo ptes, Cheech and 'tBoy's Club lIo* BOYS' CLUB WORK SESSION On September 8th, before classes began for the new school Year, the men of Rhc Phi were working for the community at the Terre Haute Boys' Club.
