The Westminister Presbyterian Church offered perfect accommodations on Saturday for Installation. Installing officers were Jean Hess Wells, Georgia, Fraternity President; Jane Lindsay Koke, Denison, Treasurer and Sally Moore Nitschke, Ohio State, Director of Membership.
The reception before Saturday evening’s banquet was held around an open fire at one end of the large banquet hall of Boar’s Head Inn, which easily accommodated the 158 guests attending. Flowers and candlelight gave a special atmosphere to the evening. Banquet chairman. Dale Brubeck, Gamma Kappa—William and William & Mary, was a dynamic speaker for the evening; The Gamma Kappa William & Mary President offered a toast to the new chapter, and the Epsilon Sigma President responded. The President of the Charlottesville Alumnae greeted all with enthusiastic welcome. An award badge formerly belonging to an alumna was presented to the Fraternity President for presentation to the new chapter’s President.
A formal reception was held on a rainy Sunday afternoon at the old Alumni Hall on campus. With fire in the fireplace, the new Epsilon Sigmas and Fraternity officers met campus officials, Greek representatives, friends of the chapter, and many parents who had traveled from as far away as Connecticut to add their welcome to their daughter’s new chapter. Approximately 250 people attended. A model chapter meeting followed by a formal pledging ceremony for 10 new members completed the festivities.
