GEORGETOWN STUDENTS
JOIN KAPPA ALPHA PHI
Branch of Fraternity Organized to
Affiliate With Other Large
Universities.

The Kappa Alpha Phi fraternity of
the Georgetown University school of
foreign service was formed yesterday.
Plans for making the fraternity tho
first national foreign service society
in the country were discussed.
At present efforts are being made to
associate the organization with fra
ternities at Notre Dame University,
Columbia University, Detroit Univer-
sity, University Of Pennsylvania and
Leland Stanford University at Cali
fornia. When these fraternities arc
united the Kappa Alpha Phi fraternity
will be the mother organization and
national headquarters will be in
Washington.
The fraternity will hold a St Pat
rick's Day tea dance in the ballroom
of the Lafayette Hotel, Wednesday
afternoon. John Jacobs, 81. presi-
dent Of his class at the foreign serv-
Ice school and a member Of the fra
ternity, Is chairman of the committee
In charge of the affair.
Temporary officers were elected to
hold office until permanent officers
are elected. They will probably be
elected at a meeting OF the fraternity
to be held this week. Plans for OBJ
tanning a fraternity house were dis
cussed. Various committees were
formed to select the emblem Of the
fraternity and to conduct the bust
ness affairs Of the organization.
