Theta Tau & Tri Sigs T ri Sigma Delta abided by their motto of service, scholarship, sisterhood and dedication to God. They excelled in these areas throughout the year. Tri Sigs started the semester with surge of power, "The Power of Plaque:' They captured the hearts of the audience in Spring Sing '86 with the help of social clubs Omega Phi, Kirei Nai Ai and Kappa Tau Omega. Their hard work earned them second runner-up overall and they placed in the other three categories, including first runner-up in theme. Sportwise they continued with strength and unity. Out of their three teams of .basketball, "C" team went the farthest with second place honors. In swimming, Tri Sigs blew everyone out of the water! They came in first place overall, broke the butterfly record and walked off with many trophies. Tri Sigs ran circles around everyone at the track meet. They held first place position until Omega Phi defeated them in the tug-of-war. Dedication to God and service were focal points thorughout the year. They decorated a mentally handicapped girls' room in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. They used decorations they had made or bought with the theme of rainbows and balloons. Sisterhood was the source of unity for Tri Sigma Delta. They had small prayer groups that met once a week to pray and discuss problems. They also met together with their brother club, Theta Tau Delta, for devotionals creating a special unity between the clubs. The unspoken part of their motto, fun, was fulfilled through many activities. They included an ice skating party, endof-the-year picnic to honor the old beaux and members and welcome the new beaux, a canoe trip down Spring River with Theta Tau, and the spring banquet topped off the year. Despite a rainstorm, Tri Sigs had their banquet on the Memphis Showboat Queen. The fall semester opened with 35 members and a new sponsor. The club grew to 66, but a special bond of unity developed with good times to be remembered by all. The hayride was a huge success and the costume Halloween party with Theta Tau was the right ingredient needed for a brother/sister relationship. <@> 284 Theta Tau & Tri Sigs Tri Sigs.
