I hope you will soon feel that this is your College. The administration, faculty, and facilities are important in providing structure for the College, but it is you, the student that give it life and substance. It will be your in- terest in the College, in all phases of college life, and the efforts you put forth to develop a better en- vironment for yourselves and for your fellow students that will determine the destiny of this College. You come to this College at a time when cries for student rights and student power are being heard all over the country. The College is a place to question, to criticize, to become involved, and to search for meaning. However, it should not be used as a sanctuary for expressing views that would not be expressed outside of the institution. When expressing your views on this campus there is a vehicle available to you THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT. However, a student government is possible only if you, the student, provide support and creative ideas. The primary function of a student government is to represent the student and to help the student create a self-fulfilling environment and the success depends on you. Your Student Government Association will present your opinions and views to the administration, faculty, the local citizen, and the legislature. Your education at WGC is not restricted to the classroom. It is up to each of you to put forth the effort to become totally involved in this college environment and to realize that failure to do so only limits your experiences because this total involvement will have real meaning in your socio-political life after graduation. Congratulations on your admission to WGC. On behalf of the entire Student Government Association, I want to wish you a happy, enjoyable and productive four years at WGC. Take advan- tage of this tremendous opportunity to get a college education and become involved in your College.

The founder felt that a strong fraternity was needed composed of persons "not losing their own personal identity, but gaining brotherhood, strength and knowledge." Kappa Phi colonized with Alpha Ta Omega on January 26, 1972 with the same ideals in mind. The fraternity house is located on Newnan Street. DELTA OMEGA Delta Omega was founded in January, 1972 and recognized by Student Government Association February 8, 1972. We are a young, growing brotherhood with emphasis on individuality, leadership, and achievement. The purpose of Delta Omega is to promote fellowship, high standards, morality, and to further a good relationship between the college and communi- ty. CHI PHI Chi Phi at West Georgia College was established as a colony in February, 1972. The Chi Phi fraternity was originally founded on friendship and stands for liberty, truth, honesty, and personal purity. The group at West Georgia strives to uphold these standards, and have a true brotherhood in all senses of the word. KAPPA SIGMA The Lambda Delta Chapter of Kappa Sigma Fraternity received its charter on April 2, 1 971 , making it the first national fraternity on the campus of West Georgia College. Since then the chapter has initiated over one hundred men and has a present active brotherhood of 60 men. Kappa Sigma has received many honors in its brief history. Some of these have been first place for their homecoming float and first place in regards to returning alumni for 1971, semifinalists In basketball, Softball, and "Best Overall Fraternity 1970-1971." The objectives of the fraternity are defined as "a solid foundation built of the combination of real friendship and loyalty, nurtured by cooperation and understanding." LAMBDA CHI ALPHA Lambda Chi Alpha has one word that embodies every facet of human character ... a word that rallies all that is warm and worthwhile in mankind. That word is fraternity that spirit of brotherhood. The Lambda Chi Alpha chapter was founded spr- ing quarter of 1971 by 42 active members. The chapter house is located five miles north of the cam- pus on the Bremen Highway. "Hail to progress." This phrase more than any other, typifies the founding history and the ac- complishments of Lambda Chi Alpha. PI KAPPA ALPHA Established in Japuary of 1968, the Cavaliers was one of the first social clubs to be established at West Georgia College. From the original 35 charter members of the Cavaliers has evolved the establish- ment of the Pi Kappa Alpha Colony on April 4, 1971. The colony now has 56 active members. The purpose of Pi Kappa Alpha is the establish- ment of friendship on a firmer and more lasting basis; for the promotion of brotherly love and kind feeling; for the mutual benefit and advancement of the in- terests of those with whom they sympathize and deem worthy of regard. SIGMA NU Sigma Nu at West Georgia College was formerly Delta Kappa Fraternity a local group. They became af- filiated with the national fraternity in November, 1970. Sigma Nu is the "Honor Fraternity" and has set forth a creed that stresses believing in the life of love, walking in the way of honor and serving in the light of truth. This creed has become part of Delta Kappa as well as all chapters of Sigma Nu across the nation. Sigma Nu is now in its second year in its home at 342 Maple Street. The fraternity was founded during spring quarter of 1968 with scholarship, brotherhood, and humbleness being its main purposes. From that original group of 13 men, the fraternity has grown to include almost 60 initiated brothers, participating in all facets of college life. TAU KAPPA EPSILON Xi Theta chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity Is one of the most dynamic chapters in the nation. The Teke calendar is always filled with parties, special events, and public service projects. Yet, academic achievement is a primary concern. Xi Theta chapter, installed in June, 1971, developed locally as Pi Kappa Sigma, which formed late in 1969. It is part of the largest fraternity in the na- tion, boasting over 325 chapters in the nation and Canada. The national fraternity deems sterling character and staunch uprightness to be the necessary qualifications for membership. SORORITIES ALPHA GAMMA DELTA Gamma Tau Chapter was established on this campus in 1968 as Sigma Chi Omega local sorority.

Much emphasis is also placed on scholastic achievement. CHI OMEGA The Phi Kappa chapter of Chi Omega was install- ed on the West Georgia College campus in the Spring of 1971 and has approximately 50 active members. The underlying principles of Chi Omega's development are that it is a group of friends at the college level of intelligence; that such a group stimulates abilities and principles upon which the quality of a civilization depends; that such groups aid in the preservation of the freedoms essential to the development of the individual; but that such in- dividuals are aware of the subjective values that history proves wise. DELTA DELTA DELTA The local chapter of Phi Sigma Delta formed in November, 1967, became a part of the national frater- nity, Delta Delta Delta in the school year 1970-1971. There are three phases of membership in the fraternity: pledgeship, collegiate chapter membership, and alumnae chapter membership. The pledge period offers an opportunity to fulfill Tri Delta's faith in you by developing as an individual and as a contributing member of the college com- munity.

The colony was installed April 3, 1971. The sorority has as its national philanthropy aiding in the support of the Crippled Children's Hospital in Richmond, Virginia.
