TCU KAPPA SIGMA FRATERNITY MANUAL

Greek chapters were to enter floats in the parade on Main Street downtown. In the fall of 1956, TCU announced a parade for Home Coming weekend. Several alumni brought their wives to the dinner. Theta’s Stardust Queen was presented with a dozen roses. In the spring of 1956, the Stardust formal dinner-dance was held at Colonial Country Club. The rest of the week they met for donuts and coffee in the TCU Drugstore across the street and the Student Center grill to plan weekends and get dates. Members lived at home or scattered in different dormitories and found some place to go after the meeting. In the first two years, chapter meetings were held on Monday evenings in a classroom in the Administration Building. Few members had ever seen such a nice setting. The first pledge class was initiated on May 14, 1955.Ī week later, Amon Carter, Jr., hosted a western barbeque for the Fort Worth Kappa Sigma alumni and Theta Chapter members at his famous Shady Oaks Farm near Lake Worth.
