Striving Toward Closeness "It's a close club. Everybody knows one another," said Jay Harriman, a sophomore member of Beta Phi men's social club. Reunited at the beginning of the school year, this group was enthusiastic about their organization, and set Beta Phi on its way. Taking ten inductees, the returning men sought to build their club into a well-rounded and better respected club . Participation in several sports brought the members closer to one another and gave them an avenue of social interaction with the other clubs on campus. Because Harriman enjoyed playing, his enthusiasm about the sports he could - Ch ris 01'; participate in through his club was evident. "We rarticipate in all the sports; I like that!" Taking third place in football during the fall, Beta Phi strengthened its recognition in the circle of club sports fans. Several activities provided the opportunity to develop ties with students outside the club. Spring Sing, always a chance to build friendships, afforded just that opportunity. In addition, they often invited girls' clubs to join them in their weekly devotionals. Activities such as an overnight camping trip and a float trip, as well as a Christmas party / hayride cultivated a sense of comraderie among the members, To exhibit this diligent spirit, they took on the responsibility for the upkeep of Ed Sewell's house and grounds while he was on medical leave. This concern for their sponsor certainly demonstrates the closeness of Beta Phi. Striving to "let their lights so shine before men," Beta Phi worked to serve others and make their organization a positive influence on one another's lives and on the lives of those they came in contact with .
