Sigma Tau Sigma & Kappa Delta Making Their Joy Complete The apostle Paul once said, "Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose." Taking the advice of Paul, Sigma Tau Sigma and Kappa Delta · Kappa shared one purpose, to develop close friendships through serving Christ. with this in mind, they planned many activities geared toward a closer relationship with Christ and each other. Perhaps the most uplifting activities shared were the weekly devotionals. Being diverse in content, the clevos were sometimes spontaneous and at other times included guest speakers. Both Sig Tau and Kappa Delta began the spring semester striving to uphold Christlike attitudes. Valentine's Day was celebrated with a unique "Come as you aren't" party, a float trip was planned, and time was taken to help with the Special Olympics. Christlike attitudes were also displayed on the playing field. Sig Tau competed in basketball , swimming, and softball, while Kappa Delta joined in the competition with their Putting It OJ!.

The semester closed with the spring banquets of each club. The Cajun's Wharf in Little Rock was the site of Sig Tau's Banquet, while That Place in Batesville provided an evening of food and entertainment for Kappa Delta. When the fall semester rolled around, the main thrust of activity planning was directed toward induction. Events ranged from a cook-out at Wyldewood to a "nerd" party in the Stephen's study lounge. Kappa Delta's "chicks" were easily identified on Silly Day, wearing the traditional chicken beaks, wings, feet, and fluffy tail feathers. Meanwhile, Sig Tau inductees were seen carrying a variety of unusual objects including a fourfoot banana and a plaster bust of "Sigmund Tau." However, not all of Sig Tau and Kappa Delta's activities were associated with induction. A swimming party and an all-nighter were held at the home of Sig Tau member Ray Lacy, while Kappa Delta's annual hayride was held at the Carter's Farm. Sponser Dr. Raymond Muncy treated the Sig TauKappa Delta gang to a cook-out and devotional at his home in October. Also in the fall, both clubs entered small club sports action. Sig Tau provided stiff competition in football, organized several volleyball teams, and every Wednesday night could be found testing their skill in bowling at the Harding Bowling Alley. Volleyball was also the main fall sport for Kappa Delta. Aside from the traditional sporting events, frisbee on the lawn continued to be the favorite sport of both clubs. The semester calendar also provided time for a service project in which Sig Tau and Kappa Delta set up a table to help the American Cancer Society with the "Great American Smoke-Out" and time was allotted to assist the Bison Boosiers with the concession stands. Studying was put on hold while the clubs celebrated the· holiday season with their Christmas parties. With a Christmas tree and a flaming fire in the fire place, the Wyldewood Retreat Center provided a rustic setting for Kappa Delta's party. Sig Tau members and their dates were treated to a fullcourse Christmas dinner at the home of Ray and Ruth Lacy. Sig Tau and Kappa Delta strove diligently to grow with one another in Christ. Their goal was to live by the words of the apostle Paul. Who said "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each regard one another as more important than himself." t~ Kappa Delta. Front row: Anderson. Baker .
