High Scholastic Achievement and Outstanding Interest in Law

B ACK in the middle twenties, a group
of law students at the University obtained a
charter from Sigma Delta Kappa, National
Legal Fraternity. Today, Alpha Iota Chapter
of Sigma Delta Kappa is one of the most
familiar fraternities at the University.
The fifty-two members of S.D .K . are actively
joined together, as their brothers were before
them, to form a bond of mutual selection based
on congeniality and common purpose. In
April, the brothers of S.D.K. held their annual
Spring Dance at the Deutches Haus where they
also maintain their frat headquarters. Everyone
who attended the dance commented on the
friendly spirit that prevailed- proof of the
brothers' firm belief in congeniality. When
one thinks of the purpose of S.D .K. there are
immediately brought to mind thoughts of the
academic atmosphere that prevails at their
29 J
meetlOgs. Sigma Delta Kappa has been one of
the first professional fraternities at the University
to combine both good social activity
with a sense of responsibility to themselves
and their fellowman.
The most sought-after prize of the brothers
of S.D .K. is the annual award key which is
given in recognition of high scholarship.
Several chapters offer scholarship cups to law
students generally, and Alpha Iota Chapter is
open for this honor also. Most undergraduate
students realize the importance of these awards
and the "rush" season for S.D.K. brothers
produces a feeling of real accomplishment.
A great help to the men of S.D.K . was the
formation of the Alumni Chapter in 1940.
The Alumni Chapter serves in an advisory
capacity and also places deserving members of
S.D.K. in law offices after graduation.
