The Beta Sigma Chapter of

Pi Kappa Alpha

Carnegie Mellon University

5010 Morewood Place

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Thistle Entry (pg 204)

Pi Kappa Alpha began its season this year under the following officers: Ralph Ives, President; Bill Statler, Vice President; Jim Wolff, Treasurer; Don Havlish, Secretary. The big house on Morewood Place has been the setting for much activity, beginning even before classes with the entertainments for rushees. Along in the Fall came Home-Coming, with swarms of loyal alumni crowding the halls.

Christmas vacation was ushered in with a party, with an honest-to-goodness Santa Claus, a Christmas Tree, and presents for everyone. January brought the Pledge Dance, and on March 4 the fraternity celebrated Founder's Day with a banquet at Webster Hall, at which they were addressed by the National Secretary of the fraternity. The Spring Formal and Spring Picnic came in April. Bright spots of the year for some lucky girls were the Tea Dances the Pi K A's gave for sororities, for the boys provided a bountiful supper as well as a good time.

The bright shiny Intra-Mural Football Trophy graces the Pi Kappa Alpha living-room, evidence of the fraternity's active participation in athletics. In addition, they claim as members the Editor of the Tartan, the Business, Circulation, and Advertising Managers of the Scottie, and several members of Student Council.
