Ko Jo Kai women's social club had an active spring semester last year. They participated in sports, including basketball and softball, and participated in Spring Sing as pirates in "The Keel of Fortune" with their brother club, Sub-T 16. They finished out their busy semester with a spring banquet which was held at the Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs. This year's fall semester was also a busy one for these girls. They began with a hamburger cookout and slumber party the night before open house, took part in open house, and of course, participated in Pledge Week. Before Pledge Week, Kojies handed out roses to their prospective members as an invitation to join their club. During the week, pledges were not allowed to chew gum. They were required, however, to wear red and black, Kojies club colors. Kojie pledges could be heard on silly day singing and making lots of noise in an effort to merit the signatures of their eagle-eyed pledgemistresses. Kojies had two major service projects in the fall. The first involved the new pledges visiting Leisure Lodge Nursing Home. The second was to take Christmas gifts to the children's home in Morrillton one Saturday, spend the day playing, visiting, and helping to decorate their Christmas tree. They had a joint Halloween party with Sub-T at Wyldewood and had their hayride in November. They also had a Christmas party at the Retreat Center at Wyldewood. Melissa Lloyd, a new member of Kojies, said "We are individuals but are still close. I may not know all of them very well, but I feel close to them anyway. I love Kojies; they are my sisters and friends in Christ and I'm very happy I'm a member." When asked what Kojies meant to her, Anne Loden commented, " 'Friends we are and friends we'll always be.' This line from our club song pretty much sums up my feelings for Kojies. They are like my family; I can really count on the// ~ " Ko10Kuio7 Brother and Sister Clubs 0
