President's Message
1964 Annual

MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1964

Graduation marks an important mile-stone in the shaping - of your lives.
A part of your formal training - has now been completed, but your opportunity
for learning goes on. It is my hope that you will never cease to be engaged in

the pursuit of knowledge and in the expanding of your intellectual, spiritual, and

»• «
cultural horizons.

As the years go by you will cherish more and more the record of events
and friends which are compiled in this book, gathered with painstaking care
and arranged with loyal devotion by the staff and advisors of the "Tiger".
It will provide for you a permanent record of the part played in the history of
Savannah State College by you and your associates of college years. May this
issue of the "Tiger" serve always as a means of keeping alive in your hearts
and minds your love and loyalty for your Alma Mater. May it also serve as
a reminder of your obligations as educated persons to do your share in providing
the leadership so urgently needed in facing the problems which confront us in
the rapidly changing world.

Wherever you go always remember that you carry the best wishes of
your Alma Mater for your happiness and success.

In 1911, three young- men, Edgar A. Love, Oscar J. Cooper, and Frank Coleman, conceived
the idea of founding a Negro National College Fraternity. The young men discussed the matter
many times, and as a result concluded that they should have some guidance. They contacted
Professor Just and he consented at once, having a keen appreciation for the problems of youth.

On November 17, 1911, the Omega Psi Phi was born. The four Cardinal principles agreed
upon were SCHOLARSHIP, MANHOOD, PERSEVERANCE, AND UPLIFT.

Alpha Gamma Chapter was established in 1949. Ever since that time the members have
strived to uphold the standards set by the predecessors.

Among the many Activities outstanding of the chapter are the Annual Achievement Week
Program, the Christmas Seals Campaign, and tutoring services for the Lampodas Club. The
Chapter also sponsored social activities which include smokers, rush parties, dances and their
annual Mardi Gras.

The motto, "Friendship is essential to the soul," was symbolized by the words Omega Psi
Phi, the equivalent words of the motto in Greek.

On October 28, 1914, the laying of the foundation was formally completed when the Omega
Psi Phi, Fraternity was incorporated by the United States Congress.

From that one undergraduate chapter (Alpha Chapter) the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity has a
roster of 270 chapters. From a membership of three in 1911, Omega has a membership of more
than 50,000.

Every state in the Union has some sons of Omega to carry her ideas. There are Omega Men
abroad also.

Delta Sigma Theta is a national Greek letter organization, having 275 chapters
located in 37 states, including Alaska, and also in the Republics of Haiti and
Liberia.

Delta Sigma Theta was founded at Howard University in Washington, D. C.
on January 13, 1913, by a group of 22 undergraduate women who, in February
18, 1913, succeeded and secured a certificate of Incorporation for the infant
sorority.

The stated purpose of the founders was to establish a society to promote high
cultural, intellectual, and moral standards among its members, for its own benefit
and for that of the larger society in which it existed.

KAPPA ALPHA PSI

Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was founded January 5, 1911 at Indiana Uni-
versity, being incorporated by the state of Indiana on April 15, 1911. It was first
known as Kappa Alpha Nu Fraternity. In 1914 the name was changed to Kappa
Alpha Psi Fraternity. The efforts of three men, Elder W. Diggs, Byron K. Arm-
strong, and John M. Lee, were outstanding in the early development of the frater-
nity.

SIGMA GAMMA RHO SORORITY

Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated, was organized on November 12,
1922, in Indianapolis, Indiana by Mary Lou Gardner and six other school teachers.
The sorority became an incorporated National Collegiate Sorority on December 30,
1929, when a charter was granted by Alpha Chapter at Butler University, Indian-
apolis, Indiana.

At present there are 59 campus chapters — and 82 Alumni Chapters — one of
which is located at the University of Liberia, Monrouia.

Fifteen years and three months ago Soror Fannie P. Jenkins, the Southeastern
Regional Director, Julia Jones, Edna Ligon, Rose Lotson, Mattie Roberts and Chris-
tine Wright brought forth on this campus a new sorority, conceived in education,
and dedicated to the proposition that all sisters are united as equal.

During this school term the sorority has been working diligently on various
activities on and off campus. The sorority is a member of the Friends of the Library
and the NAACP.

The sorority particularly stresses "finer womanhood, greater service and
greater progress."

More than fifty-five years ago at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, one of
the most important meeting's in Negro history was taking place. Seven valiant
Negro students, drawn together by their mutual feeling for the need of an organi-
zation which would bind Negro students together, organized Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity, the first Negro Greek-Letter organization.

The park shown in the picture was built by the chapter and dedicated to the
two deceased chartered brothers, Toland J. Collier and Elijah J. Lamarr on April
28, 1959, the tenth anniversary of the chapter.

On January 16, 1908, a young 1 woman named Ethel Hedg-eman envisioned an
idea that has now become the pride of many college young women. Ethel Hedge-
man, a junior at Howard University, loved her people and wanted to do something
to raise their standards. In her room in Minor Hall Ethel Hedgeman, Lucy Slowe,
Beulah Burke, Margaret Hagg, Marjorie Hill, Marie Woolfold, Anna Brown, and
Lavinia Norman met to draw up plans for the organization. Lucy Stowe was elected
Basileus.

From so small a nucleus Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority has grown to more than
1,011 graduate Chapters and 110 undergraduate chapters throughout the United
States and Liberia.
