The Beta Beta chapter at Birming-
ham-Southern is one Of the most &C.
tive fraternal organizations on the
campus Of the institution. Its MEM
bers are among the foremost literary
and athletic leaders in the school, and
it seems that the time has arrived
when it needs home Of it's own. The
organization has grown so rapidly In
recent years that this seems necessary,
and they will be only in keeping with
other fraternities on Sunshine Slopes
when it builds a frat house, as the
sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity already
has house of it's own, and the Kappa
Alpha is now having one constructed.
The Pi Kappa Alpha and Phi Alpha
fraternities are at present living
in rented houses, but all hope to soon
have houses Of their own, and this will
probably come aaout In very short
while, as these organizations keep pace
with the rapid growth Of the college.
Members Of the Alpha Tau Omega
fraternity at Birmingh Southern, are,
Verman Kimbrough, Hoyt Levie, Leon
NJ. Stevenson, Japeth Rawls, Ray Hull
