Chapter Excels at Both State and National Levels , On October 17, the Arkansas Eta Chapter of Alpha Chi inducted 48 members, and on January 30, the chapter inducted 63 members. Each induction ceremony was preceded by a dinner in the Heritage Cafeteria and was followed by a program in the Heritage Auditorium. The chapter sponsors, Dr. Don England , Dr. Joseph E. Pryor and Dr. Neale T. Pryor, conducted the impressive ceremony. Early in the fall semester, the chapter hosted a reception for all new students who had received an academic scholarship. The guests were greeted in Shores Chapel by the chapter officers and sponsors and were encouraged to continue in col· lege the academic excellence they had achieved in high school. Refreshments were then served at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Joseph E. Pryor. Early in February, the chapter presented a chapel program with three of the members discussing good study methods. In March, 1984, seven students presented four papers, two piano solos and one dramatic reading on the program of the Region II Convention hosted in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, by Southern University .
