“The spring lirje was very ver
satile. It was composed of striv
ing young musicians and
athletes.’’
Eighteen probates of Delta
Sigma Theta Sorority Incor
porated have successfully com
pleted over three weeks of being
on line.
On April 4, these young ladies
performed their death march
starting from the Twin Towers
and ending on the main campus
lawn near the Griffin
Hightower Science Center.
While carrying burning
candles as a part of their “Death
March,’’ these probates moved
slowly at at step by step pace to
the Science Center.
According to observers, these
young ladies shed tears while
trying to complete the march as
part of their final phase to
becoming a Delta.
Later that night, they became
Deltas. Congrats ...” Oooop! !

temperatures in the mid 70's the
Sorority sisters and probates of

campus that almost 300 persons
gathered in front of the Ad
ministration Office of Morris

dance.

Greek Step Out competition
took place. Those Greeks par

As a special guest, the ladies of

denouncing other Greek
organization and praising their
rfwn and their Fraternity
brothers, the AKA’s of West
Georgia moved to win first place
among the sororities at the step -
out.
Second place winners were
the Deltas.
Alpha Phi Alpha came in
second to the men of Grove Phi

Opps!...We Goofed
Dear Sir:
Please make a correction to
your article discussing campus
Greeks.
I am proud to be a member of
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and
believe that I am known to my
sorors in that distinguished
group.
Thank you for your immediate
attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Henrie M. Turner, Ph.D.
Chairperson, biology
“Alpha Phi Alpha, Light of the
World.” With these chants and
several weeks of pledging, the
Sensitive Six have finally crossed
the burning sands.
On April 4, at about 6:00 p.m.
these six young men performed
a Death March from the Twin
Towers onto the plot of Alpha
Phi Alpha located in the central
campus.
Later that evening, after
successfully completing the
death march, they returned for a
torch march, which afterwards
led to other sacred procedures in
order to enter into the land of
Alpha.
Surrounded by an anticipated
crowd cheering them on as they
carried black and gold bricks
bearing the name of the Fraterni
ty, it was noticable that these
aspiring men were indeed under
pressure.
Courage, determination, and
will power can be classified as
some of the factors that aid in the
pledgees efforts to obtain the
three Greek letters.
