<strong>150</strong> <strong>Social</strong> <strong>Clubs</strong>


<strong>Social</strong> <strong>Clubs</strong><br />

The social clubs of <strong>Harding</strong> <strong>University</strong> united not only<br />

. students from different cities and st~tes, but those from<br />

different countries as well. <strong>Harding</strong>'s social clubs provided<br />

friendships that will endure forever and memories<br />

that will never be forgotten. Whether it was a hayride, a<br />

ball game, or any other club activity, there were plenty of<br />

good times to be found in <strong>Harding</strong> club life.<br />

Most<br />

importantly, social clubs not only created a bond between<br />

club members, but between the members and their Lord.<br />

Kyodai<br />

Dressed in their jerseys of maroon, gray<br />

and black, the newest club on campus this<br />

year was the men's social club, Kyodai.<br />

The name originated from York College<br />

in Nebraska and means "brotherhood." The<br />

club was officially established on September<br />

4, 1992.<br />

KY9dai was chartered by approximately<br />

15 members. The club partiCipated in Pledge<br />

Week and, by the end of the year, the total.<br />

grew to an estimated 30 members.<br />

The men of Kyodai hopedto provide a<br />

more "relaxed" atmosphere for their members.<br />

As one member said, "We saw a need to<br />

create a new club for those individuals who<br />

felt like they just couldn't quite fit in any of the<br />

other clubs. . .We know that having fun is<br />

the most important thing."<br />

Kyodai members played an active part in<br />

club sports, devotionals, club outings and<br />

service projects.<br />

Intertwined with both a spiritual and<br />

"fun-packed" focus, the men of Kyodai social<br />

club enjoyed a prosperous first year.<br />

AGO<br />

With serving others as the club's main<br />

focus, the men of Alpha Gamma Omega<br />

spent the year doing just that.<br />

Fulfilling its club motto, "I Lead, I Bring or<br />

I Go," Alpha Gamma Omega participated in<br />

various service projects which included<br />

painting houses, mowing lawns and other<br />

odd jobs.<br />

Last spring, the club visited Fairhaven<br />

Children's Home in Springfield, Missouri.<br />

Members spent time with the children and<br />

were involved in several fun activities.<br />

Jonathan Picklesimer, club president,<br />

commented on the progress of the club over<br />

the years and said, "When I first became a<br />

member, the club was mostly made up of an<br />

older population; however, these men helped<br />

give the club a lot of character and stability."<br />

Responding to a good pledge turnout this<br />

year, Alpha Gamma Omega tried to lead and<br />

bring about things that were both new to the<br />

community and to the university.<br />

Delta Chi Delta<br />

Having started out as a new men's social<br />

club with only 10 members in the fall of 1989,<br />

Delta Chi Delta has grown almost seven times<br />

its original size.<br />

Club President Dan Feeney, a member of<br />

the original pledge class, said the club has<br />

always tried to stress three things: uniry,<br />

service and tmst. "We've always tried to<br />

stress a good reputation w ith the<br />

administration and campus. We've tried to<br />

achieve a strong bond with our club artd<br />

allow that bond to flow over onto the campus<br />

as well as other clubs," he said.<br />

Delta Chi Delta spent the year planning<br />

their service project activities towards helping<br />

children and needy kids. Feeney said they<br />

had done some work with children last year<br />

and hoped this year would be more beneficial<br />

and successful.<br />

Even though Delta Chi Delta has grown<br />

considerably in size over the years, the club<br />

still has some "small club" goals. As Feeney<br />

said, "We hope to keep the closeness of a<br />

small club. . . .The only thing better than<br />

being a close club is to be Ch ristians."<br />

Kappa Tau<br />

Described as being "different from any<br />

other club on campus . ..", the men of Kappa<br />

Tau social club participated in yet another<br />

year of sports, club traditions, and good<br />

times.<br />

Whether it was playing sports, relaxing at<br />

the annual Heber Springs "Mellow Party", or<br />

just hanging out with the guys, Kappa Tau<br />

never ceased to have a good time. Club<br />

president, Curtis Willmon, said that Kappa<br />

Tau was definitely one of the more unique<br />

clubs on campus.<br />

Willmon said most of the things about<br />

Kappa Tau have basica lly remained the same<br />

throught the years. However, he commented<br />

there were certain "stereotypes" about the<br />

club he hoped would eventually be overcome.<br />

Some of the activities Kappa Tau was<br />

involved in this year included a basketball<br />

lock-in , Wednesday night prayer groups ancl<br />

several service projects.<br />

With the club motto being, "Good Guys<br />

Wear Black ," Willmon said in closing, "EveIYone<br />

has still had the same interests as before,<br />

we've stuck together and stayed close ..."<br />

Knights<br />

The Knights carried on their traditions,<br />

goals and unique pledge week activities for<br />

the 25th year at <strong>Harding</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />

When asked about the purpose of pledge<br />

week, Mark Cornell, vice-president, said,<br />

"We uy to unify the squires by making them<br />

do activities that make them work together as<br />

a te'lm. We tlY to assist them in learning how<br />

to serve each other and God better. "<br />

When asked what makes Knights different<br />

from all the other clubs, Cornell said, "We try<br />

not to let society dictate our feelings, thoughts<br />

and actions. We all know what's right and,<br />

as a club, we strive for what is right no matter<br />

what evelyone else is doing."<br />

Kirk Hollis, club president, said, "What<br />

makes us unique is that we have members<br />

from all over the nation, as well as from a few<br />

foreign counu·ies. However, when we get<br />

together with all our different backgrounds<br />

and interests, we do have a common trait that<br />

pulls us all together, and that is our Christianity.<br />

Lambda Sigma<br />

Lambda Sigma began its 57th year at<br />

<strong>Harding</strong> with 24 members, including nine<br />

pledges. Steven Breezeei, a junior from<br />

Indiana, and also the club's president, had a<br />

goal this year to reclaim some of the "faded<br />

out" traditions. "Over the past 57 years, there<br />

has been a lot of history that has been lost.<br />

This year we tried to reclaim that history and<br />

build up the club archives," he said.<br />

Another goal that Lambda's again pursed<br />

this year wa,s a special pollution project. Four<br />

times a year, the club went to a mile stretch<br />

of Highway 67 and cleaned up trash left along<br />

the road. Breezeel said, "We decided to go<br />

out to the highway during pledge week<br />

because it was a good opportunity for the<br />

new and old members to get to know each<br />

other better. It was also something that made<br />

us all work as a team to accompiish"<br />

When asked what made Lambda Sigma<br />

different than other mens' clubs, Breezeel<br />

said, "We seem to be more laid back and<br />

relaxed than a lot of the other clubs on<br />

campus."<br />

Seminoles<br />

Often seen steppin' around campus with<br />

their huge circle of admirers were the men of<br />

Seminoles. The club, formed almost two years<br />

ago, has become one of the most well known<br />

and growing clubs on campus. What originally<br />

staned out as a small number of only 10 or so<br />

members, has grown to become a large club<br />

of 100 or more men.<br />

Seminoles took an active pan in helping<br />

the Searcy community by sponsoring their<br />

first Haunted House. The Haunted House<br />

drew in funds of approximately $5,000. The<br />

club donated part of the money to the Searcy<br />

Sunshine School to help buy choir robes. Part<br />

of the money was also donated to Leisure<br />

Lodge Nursing Home.<br />

Seminoles, formed from a combination of<br />

different mens' clubs, hoped to be somewhat<br />

different from other clubs. As club member<br />

Hal Baker put it, "The fact that we're all just a<br />

bunch of friends who can hang out together<br />

is the most important thing ... It's means more<br />

than just calling ourselves a 'club'. "<br />

Theta Tau Delta<br />

As Theta Tau Delta began its 19th year as<br />

a social club at <strong>Harding</strong> <strong>University</strong>, it accepted<br />

21 new members, increasing its membership<br />

to 45.<br />

Theta Tau Delta was unique on campus.<br />

Beginning a few years ago, Theta Tau Delta<br />

decided to combine their fall hayride and<br />

Christmas pan y. They called this one-of-akind<br />

event a "Hayride - Sleighride."<br />

Other activities included the club's annual<br />

outing to Little Rock to watch the Arkansas<br />

Travelers play baseball and their service<br />

project at Camp Tahkodah. They volunteered<br />

to clean up the campground to prepare it for<br />

incoming campers.<br />

The president of Theta Tau Delta, Randall<br />

Hunter, a senior from Owasso, Okla., said,<br />

"Theta Tau Delta is basically a bunch of guys<br />

who really enjoy being together. We are a<br />

velY laid-back club, and don't believe in<br />

exclusivity." Hunter wanted pledge week to<br />

be an opportunity for the new members to<br />

not just meet each other and the old members,<br />

but to meet members of other clubs.<br />

Titans<br />

With great enthusiasm, the men of Titans<br />

were back in black for the 1992-93 school<br />

year. With Craig Shadrix serving as president,<br />

the club sought not only to become closer as<br />

brothers in Titans, but also closer as brothers<br />

in Christ.<br />

By the time pledge week was over, Titans<br />

had taken 39 pledges along with three jumps.<br />

The' new as well as old members understood<br />

that the word "service" was going to be .the<br />

theme of the year. The Titans Christmas<br />

party, "Titans for Tots," was held at the<br />

Sunshine School in Searcy. ' Members and<br />

their dates adopted a child from the school<br />

for the night.<br />

With their togas and laurels, Titans were<br />

not easily mistaken for any other club on<br />

campus. The club tried to be very active,<br />

showing as much club spirit as possible.<br />

Having won the All-Sports Trophy in<br />

1991, Titans stressed the need for performance<br />

on the athleticfield but didn't lose sight of the<br />

more important things in life happening off<br />

the field.<br />

Chi Alpha Rho<br />

Chi Alpha Rho may have been a small<br />

club in number, but they had big hearts that<br />

were willing to serve.<br />

Founded in 1977, Chi Alpha Rho had 17<br />

members. These members believed and<br />

lived their club motto, "No one is too small<br />

to help a friend. "<br />

For their fall service project, the girls<br />

cleaned the Sunshine School. Kim Fancy,<br />

president, said," This brought us closer to<br />

one anothev. It was so close to pledge week<br />

that we got to know the new girls better."<br />

This project also let others see how they<br />

believed in their club scripture that says,<br />

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be<br />

steadfast, immovable, always abounding in<br />

the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil<br />

is not in vain in the Lord" (J Cor. 15:58). Chi<br />

Alpha Rho also worked with a heart patient<br />

program at one of the Little Rock hospitals.<br />

These members used their small number<br />

to make really close fri endships. Fancy<br />

said, "It's so easy to get to know each other<br />

since we're smaller. "<br />

Delta Gamma Rho<br />

Delta Gamma Rho had its fifth birthday<br />

this year and, since its beginning, has grown<br />

in size as well as popularity. This club consisted<br />

of 97 members who came from velY<br />

diverse backgrounds.<br />

Delta Gamma Rho members felt that diversirywas<br />

good for the club. Leslie McDowell,<br />

president and charter member, said, "We<br />

have a real good time because we are so<br />

diverse." Delta Gamma Rho didn't have one<br />

main focal pOint, which allowed them to be<br />

talented in many areas.<br />

McDowell tried to use ' these different<br />

talents in their service project. Work with the<br />

Arkansas Children's Hospital at their open<br />

house was planned as a project. Another<br />

service the club performed was visiting the<br />

nursing homes around the area.<br />

Delta Gamma Rho's motto "linked in uniry<br />

and sisterhood" proved very fitting. They<br />

took advantage of their diversity to become a<br />

clu b known for its togetherness and love for<br />

each other.<br />

Ka Re Ta<br />

Ka Re Ta put a strong emphasis on unity.<br />

Their spiritual emphasis caused the club together<br />

to be known for the "sunshines" on<br />

campus.<br />

This medium sized club of 60 members<br />

loved to be together. "We're on a big togetherness<br />

kick," said president Rena McCarty.<br />

"We're always looking for ways to have fu n<br />

together. "<br />

One of the ways they found to have fun<br />

was through selv ice projects. In the fall, the<br />

club made fqod and toy baskets for Arkansas<br />

Children's Hospital. Their spring project was<br />

a garage sale to benefit His House.<br />

Freshman Christa McCarty said her reason<br />

for choosing Ka Re Ta was,"There were no<br />

stereotypes. When they said 'Ka Re Ta' to me,<br />

no word came to mind. I was able to establish<br />

my own idea as to what Ka Re Ta was."<br />

Ka Re Ta's "sunshines" label came from<br />

the club's requirement that pledges get signatures<br />

on a big sunshine which they wear<br />

around on silly day.<br />

Through their sunshines and smiles, Ka Re<br />

Ta established itself as a club of unity. Almost<br />

any time you found a Ka Re Ta member on<br />

campus, you usually found two, and the<br />

chances were velY good that they were best<br />

friends.<br />

Omega Phi<br />

With much room to celebrate, Omega Phi<br />

has been in existence for 50 years as one of<br />

<strong>Harding</strong>'s women's social clubs.<br />

Club preSident, Sheila Pate, said the club<br />

palticipated in several activities througho ut<br />

the year. As their fall service project, the club<br />

members spent one Saturday cleaning the<br />

Searcy Head Start Center. In the spring, the<br />

club hosted an Easter Egg Hunt Party for<br />

children at the center.<br />

Besides the usual club activities, Omega<br />

Phi also took part in weekly devotionals and<br />

mass dates. The girls would often get<br />

together in a large group and go to the<br />

movies and other activities o n the weekends.<br />

With approximately 17 members, Pate<br />

said, "One of the best things about being a<br />

small club is that it's usually very easy to find<br />

a place to get together. II<br />

Pate also commented d1at because Omega<br />

Phi was a small club, she has been able to get<br />

to know people better and has made some<br />

lifelong friends through her club.<br />

Phi Delta<br />

Phi Delta focused on being a club for girls<br />

who like to have fun while setv ing God. The<br />

37 members of this women's social club<br />

strongly believed their motto, "others before<br />

self."<br />

Amy Hawkins, club president, said one<br />

way they put others first this semester was<br />

tlu·ough their service project. Phi Delta<br />

hosted a Christmas patty for the children at<br />

the Searcy Head Start. Santa made an<br />

appearanc~}o pass out gifts to the children.<br />

The girls also helped clean the center at<br />

different times throughout the year.<br />

This and other service projects brought<br />

the girls close together. Hawkins said, "The<br />

club focused on unity. We tried to get closer<br />

to each other as friends and closer to God."<br />

Becca Nooner, a sophomore member,<br />

noticed this unity while deciding on clubs.<br />

She said, "I was looking for a club where I<br />

could know evetyone." She found this type<br />

of club when she joined Phi Delta.<br />

Phi Delta worked to meet their goals of<br />

unity and putting others first. This small club<br />

made a big impact on those around them.<br />

Shantih<br />

Often seen around campus dressed in<br />

their bright orange jerseys with YY's on the<br />

sleeves were the women of Shantih social<br />

club. These "YY's", a symbol of "friendship,"<br />

basically described what the girls of Shantih<br />

were all about.<br />

Shantih participated in the Migrant Head<br />

Start.Program as its service project. Members<br />

visited the Searcy Migrant Head Start and<br />

spent time with several children and their<br />

families. During the holiday season, Shantih<br />

held a Christmas party for the .kids and, in the<br />

spring had an Easter egg party for them.<br />

Throughout the year, other activities included<br />

the annual Barn Bash and Orange Crush<br />

Party.<br />

Besides some of the activities the club<br />

members were involved in this year, Shantih<br />

valued the fa ct that there were many things<br />

about the club that were not typical of other<br />

clubs. As one member said, "The girls in the<br />

club have tried not to limit themselves to one<br />

particular group of friends. That's one of the<br />

reasons we don't have a brother club and<br />

have participated in Spring Sing with so many<br />

other clubs."<br />

Sigma Phi Mu<br />

With only three pledges a couple of years<br />

ago to an estimated 23 first-choice pledges<br />

this year, Sigma Phi Mu has come a long way,<br />

according to president Rachel Bradford.<br />

Bradford discussed how Sig Phi Mu has<br />

grown and developed over the past couple<br />

of years. "The two things I talked about that<br />

I hoped we could do as a club this year were<br />

to become closer to God and to have fun ,"<br />

Bradford said.<br />

ProbabJy the club's biggest emphasis was<br />

its service project with the Southern Christian<br />

Home in Morrilton. One Saturday a month,<br />

the girls visited the home and took part in<br />

activities with the kids. Other activities<br />

included a picniC at Petitjean Mountain State<br />

Park and a Halloween party During<br />

Christmas, the club members each sponsored<br />

a child and provided them with presents.<br />

The club also visited among the nurSing<br />

homes and sang Christmas carols.<br />

Tri Delta Epsilon<br />

Only four years old, Tri Delta was still<br />

young. Because they were still growing, most<br />

club members didn't feel Tri Delta had a<br />

stereotype.<br />

More than making a difference at <strong>Harding</strong>,<br />

Tri Delta also touched lives on two others<br />

continents. For over a year the club has<br />

sponsored a little girl in Asia. Shabnam, a 9-<br />

year old from India, has been writing to Tri<br />

Delta and praying for them. Service project<br />

director, Mandy Prosser, said they also sponsored<br />

water wells in Ghana, Africa.<br />

<strong>Clubs</strong> wouldn't be complete without pledge<br />

week. To complete the week, Tri Delta had a<br />

talent show on rough night as part of their allclub<br />

slumber party which they planned to<br />

make a tradition.<br />

President Tammie Green was a member of<br />

the first pledge class. That first year there were<br />

more pledges than members. "It's just taken<br />

w ings and flown, " she said.<br />

There will be, over the years, the Christmas<br />

parties, hayrides and Valentine's Day parties<br />

among other things, but what will remain for<br />

sure is that "we strive together in our Christian<br />

belief," Green said.<br />

Tri Sigma Delta<br />

Proverbs 31 describes what a virtuous<br />

woman should be. The women ofTri Sigma<br />

Delta had this verse as their club scripture<br />

and tried to live as virtuous women.<br />

The members felt they could selve others<br />

while still having a good time. Concerning<br />

this, Suzanne Forney said, " I like the fact that<br />

it's a spiritually centered group of girls that<br />

have fun while glorifying God."<br />

Shelley Benoit chose Tri Sigs as her club<br />

for some of the same reasons. She said, "I<br />

knew a lot suf people already, and they were<br />

always devoted to God. Even when bad<br />

things happened they counted on God. The<br />

girls were so close and friendly that I wanted<br />

to be a part of it because they were also close<br />

to God in everything they did."<br />

The girls of Tri Sigma Delta didn't fit into<br />

any stereotype. Kim Meadows said, "At the<br />

mixers they were always so friendly and<br />

talked to you no matter who you were."<br />

The girls lived up to their motto, "sisterhood,<br />

scholarship, service and dedication to<br />

God." They left their mark through their<br />

uniry and closeness to the Father.<br />

Alpha Tau<br />

Alpha Tau prided themselves with being<br />

considered a close brotherhood that always<br />

stood by one another. The members encouraged<br />

each other to always tty as hard as they<br />

could in everything they were involved with.<br />

Thus, the club motto was, "Always do your<br />

best."<br />

In 1992, Alpha Tau took 19 pledges, bringing<br />

its active list to 52 members. Club activities<br />

included a hayride and the annual club cookout<br />

at Heber Springs. Teamwork was the<br />

theme as the club tried to act as one group<br />

instead of several individuals. Pledge Week<br />

not only brought the members closer to each<br />

other, but closer to God.<br />

President Randy Fleming said, "We all tty to<br />

have great attitudes and always do our best.<br />

We enjoy playing sports together, but we<br />

understand that too much emphasis can be<br />

placed on sports so that you forget about more<br />

important things. We're just guys that enjoy<br />

having fun together."<br />

Through teamwork, the members of Alpha<br />

Tau tried to become closer than they had ever<br />

been before.<br />

GATA<br />

"Genuineness," is how Dodi Samuel, devotional<br />

director for GATA, described her club.<br />

GATA, one of the oldest women's clubs on<br />

campus, iwas about 74 members strong. President<br />

Kara Clark said it was their common<br />

bond in God that made GATA so much fun .<br />

GAT A's year together was filled with many<br />

activities such as hot chocolate devos on the<br />

football bleachers, a devo at B-Rock or an<br />

early sunrise service at Riverside Park.<br />

GATA, an acronym for Girls Aiming Toward<br />

Achievement, made it their objective to<br />

send kids to Camp Wyldewood who were<br />

unable to afford it. They achieved this goal by<br />

raising money through Wimerfest, <strong>Harding</strong>'s<br />

winter homecoming.<br />

The club couldn't be ignored in the sports<br />

arena. The champions in A-team softball for<br />

medium clubs, they also finished first in A, B<br />

and D-team volleyball. Among these credits<br />

hangs first place in potluck volleyball.<br />

"Live pure, speak truth, right wrong," states<br />

GATA's motto. "It's more their motto of life<br />

than just the motto for the club," Samuel said.<br />

Regina<br />

The refrigerator boxes which formed a<br />

tunnel were filled with many unexpected<br />

surprises for the 30 new Regina pledges this<br />

year. The Queens smiled as the pledges were<br />

covered with spaghetti and pudding that had<br />

once filled the many boxes. The new members<br />

had to endure many trials during pledge<br />

week, but in the end it was all worth it.<br />

Regina, which is Latin for queen, began in<br />

the fall of 1947 and had approximately 70<br />

members in 1992. They firmly believed in<br />

their motto: "others before ourselves," and<br />

strove to achieve that on a daily basis.<br />

The goal of Regina was to create and keep<br />

a closeness between club members, even<br />

though they have diverse interests and occupational<br />

goals. The club tried to achieve this<br />

goal by having devotionals at all club functions.<br />

Regina's closeness was expressed by Tracie<br />

Galaxy<br />

Enjoying the benefits of a small club, Galaxy<br />

moved to strengthen its ties for the 1992-93<br />

school year. Galaxy came to the <strong>Harding</strong><br />

campus in 1947. The club took 25 new<br />

members in 1992, making it 50 members<br />

strong.<br />

Galaxy members appreciated the closeness<br />

they were able to maintain with each other<br />

through the small club setting. President Paul<br />

Pursell said, "I enjoyed the looseness in our<br />

club. You could be your own man." Tom<br />

Gaskins said, "There seemed to be less pressure<br />

on us since we were a smaller club."<br />

The big event for Galaxy was the Lumberjack<br />

Party which was held in Heber Springs in<br />

the fall. As a club service project, money was<br />

collected for water wells in Ghana, Africa.<br />

As devotional director, Kurt Massie tried to<br />

encourage the members to become more<br />

spiritually involved through more club devotionals.<br />

Another goal was to become closer to<br />

their sister club Ju Go Ju.<br />

Galaxy has used the qualities of a small club<br />

to make the most of the <strong>Harding</strong> experience.<br />

Since 1925, the women of Ju Go Ju have<br />

been a strong force on the campus of <strong>Harding</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong>. With a motto of "Friends, Always<br />

Friends," Ju Go Ju was the oldest club on<br />

campus.<br />

Taking 40 pledges in 1992, there were a<br />

total of 70 members ready to begin another<br />

year. The members strove to become closer<br />

than ever before. Each person tried to be<br />

more active, becoming involved in as many<br />

activities as possible so that club unity would<br />

be improved:'To achieve this closeness, more<br />

club parties were planned and special devotionals<br />

were scheduled to help the club's<br />

spiritual unity.<br />

Club events included a hayride, St. Patrick's<br />

Day party, spring banquet, a trip to Little Rock<br />

for ice skating and a sleepover. For a service<br />

project, Ju Go Ju raised money for water wells<br />

in Ghana, Africa.<br />

Kappa Sigs<br />

After 27 years of fellowship, Kappa Sigma<br />

Kappa still continued to start evelY year searching<br />

for new brothers and striving to make new<br />

accomplishments as a whole. From its beginning<br />

in 1966, Kappa Sigs has instilled many<br />

men with pride for their club.<br />

The club maintained this sense of unity and<br />

pride through many opportunities, whether at<br />

work or play. Through usual club activities,<br />

sports and service projects, Kappa Sigs made<br />

friendships a lifetime investment.<br />

Some of the service projects Kappa Sigs<br />

took part in were assisting with the Searcy<br />

Triathalon, a Camp Wyldewood clean-up day<br />

during pledge week and various support for<br />

International campaigns.<br />

But Kappa Sigs members also found time for<br />

each other through traditional meetings, activities<br />

and customs. Mondays were the days<br />

to see the club members in their maroon and<br />

gold jerseys or their famous Kappa Sigs ties.<br />

As with many things, the more they change the<br />

more they stay the same.<br />

Tri Kappa<br />

Trying new things might summarize 1992-<br />

93 with Tri Kappa social club. Holly Hilton,<br />

president, characterized the club by saying,<br />

"They're daring, not afraid to try something<br />

different. "<br />

They branched out from the usual events<br />

and on a whim hosted the first John Travolta<br />

film festival. According to Hilton, it was an<br />

event too much fun not to be repeated.<br />

Pledge week contained special projects for<br />

the pledges to grow closer. Pledging activities<br />

included'c1eaning the Associated Women<br />

for <strong>Harding</strong> house and planning a dinner for<br />

the members.<br />

As every year, Tri Kappa and their brother<br />

club, Kappa Sigma, started the year off right<br />

with a barbeque at Riverside Park.<br />

Recognized in club sports, Tri Kappa placed<br />

first in B-team football, second place in A­<br />

team football and second place in B-team<br />

softball for large clubs. Among service projects,<br />

Tri Kappa donated funds to the Shannon<br />

Romine scholarship fund.<br />

"The club has grown ," Hilton said, "and<br />

has done a complete turn around."<br />

King's Men was a service-oriented social<br />

club, comprised of approximately 35 young<br />

men.<br />

According to club president Mark Taylor,<br />

the primary goal of each member was to "grow<br />

closer to each other and to grow closer to God.<br />

And this year," Taylor said, "I feel like we<br />

accomplished that."<br />

In addition, Taylor said the club chose a<br />

worthy service project each year to work ·on.<br />

"We went to Medina, Texas, over Spring<br />

Break to work with the children's home there.<br />

We just went down and did whatever we could<br />

to help them out a little," Taylor said.<br />

Besides Taylor, other club officers included:<br />

OEGE<br />

OEGE established itself on the <strong>Harding</strong><br />

campus as a club of unity and service. OEGE,<br />

an acronym for obedience, efficiency, godliness<br />

and earnestness, strove to reach and<br />

mainta in all its service-oriented goals.<br />

This year OEGE members enjoyed fellowship<br />

during activities such as a club hayride,<br />

Valentine's Day party and an ice skating party<br />

with their brother club, King's Men. OEGE<br />

was velY active with their brother club in<br />

events such, as weekly devotionals and an<br />

end-of-the-year picniC.<br />

One aspect of OEGE that was well known<br />

on campus was their service project. OEGE,<br />

along with King's Men, sponsored a blood<br />

draw three times a semester in connection<br />

with the Red Cross.<br />

Although OEGE was a small club consisting<br />

of about 45 members, they had more than<br />

enough friendship and spirit to go around.<br />

Renee Benson said, "OEGE may not be the<br />

biggest club on campus, but it is filled with<br />

quality people."<br />

Pi Kappa Epsilon<br />

Pi Kappa Epsilon, established in 1989, came<br />

full circle in 1993 as its freshman founders<br />

became seniors, and the club fielded a full four<br />

classes for the first time in its four-year existence.<br />

Pi Kappa Epsilon also continued its winning<br />

tradition in sports this year, capturing championships<br />

in softball, football, volleyball and<br />

basketball. But beyond the winning, sports<br />

was a way for members to socialize with each<br />

other and members of other clubs.<br />

Other Pi Kappa Epsilon events for the year<br />

included an outing in Cabot where members<br />

had a bull-riding competition with their dates<br />

and a spring banquet that was a hit.<br />

Pi Kappa Epsilon also performed various<br />

community services around the Searcy area fo r<br />

their club service projects.<br />

Many of the founding members graduated<br />

after the spring semester, but moved on secure<br />

in the fa ct that the traditions which they helped<br />

form would continue to be upheld for untold<br />

generations to come.<br />

Chi Omega Pi<br />

Chi Omega Pi, which started three years<br />

ago as a diverse group of women, continued<br />

to strengthen their bonds of friendship this<br />

year. They built their unity through club<br />

outings, prayer groups, devotionals, pledging<br />

activities and Spring Sing.<br />

The fun , easy-going spirit of Chi Omega Pi<br />

service project, the club was involved with<br />

the Special Olympics.<br />

Many Chi Omega Pi seniors watched the<br />

club grow from its first year. Charter member<br />

Sarah Folkerts said, "The girls of this club have<br />

a special bond. Over the past four years, the<br />

club has seen many changes, but each girl<br />

added something special to the club."<br />

Club president Kim Baker said, "Chi Omega<br />

Pi is a diverse group of girls who are united<br />

spiritually and socially. We pray together,<br />

laugh together, ClY together and just have<br />

Sigma Tau Sigma<br />

The men of Sigma Tau Sigma shared a<br />

common goal this year-to be unified as a club,<br />

as brothers and to serve God.<br />

Sigma Tau Sigma was very active in pursuing<br />

that goal. The members participated in<br />

club sports, Spring Sing, their club hayride,<br />

Christmas pizza party and spring banquet.<br />

Sigma Tau Sigma also held weekly devotionals<br />

and worked at odd jobs at the Searcy<br />

Children'S Home as part of their club's service<br />

project.<br />

"Sig Tau had diversified people and backgrounds<br />

but was unified in Christ," said president<br />

Doug Tracy. The club's 45 members<br />

focused on becoming unified as they served<br />

and celebrated together. Despite the varied<br />

backgrounds of the members of Sigma Tau<br />

Sigma, they succeeded in finding a common<br />

thread and realizing their goal. Tracy said,<br />

"We're all striving as hard as we can to serve<br />

God."<br />

McFarland said her club sisters were "good<br />

girls" who took their commitment to God<br />

seriously. This was evidenced by their weekly<br />

devotionals with their brother club, Sigma<br />

Tau Sigma, and their primalY club goal of<br />

making close bonds with other Christian<br />

women. gelta Sigma Psi consisted of 21<br />

women with very diverse personalities.<br />

The club enjoyed participating in service<br />

projects that helped others in the community.<br />

Other club activities included monthly slumber<br />

parties, a Valentine's Day palty, spring<br />

banquet and participation in Spring Sing.<br />

They had picnics at Riverside Park with their<br />

club brothers and occasionally sponsored<br />

mass dates. Delta Sigma Psi also enjoyed<br />

fe llowshipping across club lines.<br />

"Unlocking your potential" was the theme<br />

of the 1992-93 school year for the members of<br />

Ko Jo Kai. Kojies tried to become the best<br />

they could be both as a club and as individuals<br />

this year. With 95 members, one might<br />

think this group would lack closeness, but<br />

Kojies found it easy to maintain togetherness.<br />

Leah Mangrum said, "I think it's great how<br />

such a diverse group with so many different<br />

personalities can still be so close with each<br />

other." When asked why she chose Kojies,<br />

Kelly Cooper said, "The girls weren't nice just<br />

at the mixers. They seemed to have a genuine<br />

concern for me whenever I saw them."<br />

Club activities included a hayride, the first<br />

Camp Tahkodah Retreat and a Christmas and<br />

spring banquet. There was also a Valentine's<br />

Day party with a theme of "Chocolate Lovers."<br />

For service projects, money was collected<br />

"Tl T's activities included the usual hayride,<br />

While some clubs struggled with revising<br />

pledge plans to meet state and campus legalities,<br />

TNT managed to continue their week<br />

much as in the past. According to Richardson,<br />

"We wanted to have the pledges thinking as a<br />

unit. We stressed that if one fa iled, they all<br />

failed ."<br />

Members of the club became involved in the<br />

community, doing yard work for the elderly,<br />

with a strong emphasis on closeness and<br />

qualities in the club verse in each other and<br />

the new members.<br />

The search for unity and godliness continued<br />

as the girls grew closer through the club's<br />

hayride, Crlristmas banquet, Valentine's Day<br />

the senior class to vote upon the students,<br />

picking two for the award. The recipients of<br />

ICC<br />

The Interclub Council served a velY important<br />

function on <strong>Harding</strong>'s campus. As the<br />

student governing body for social clubs, the<br />

members dealt mainly with the many issues<br />

and activities involved with pledge week.<br />

Each social club chose two members to<br />

represent their club at the meetings. The ICC<br />

worked with the administration in making<br />

rules and regulations that helped the activities<br />

of social clubs operate more smoothly.<br />

lot only did the activities of the ICC help<br />

members within the social clubs, but it also<br />

narrowed the communication gap between<br />

students and the administration.<br />

By working with the administration, the<br />

students were able to have input in making<br />

and enforcing rules and regulations that affected<br />

the student body as a w hole. The<br />

representatives were able to bring the specific<br />

situations and needs of their clubs before the<br />

faculty in a one-on-one situation.<br />
