WHAT IS TRI KAPPA? Every community, regardless of size, has in its make up a number of organizations, each sponsoring various projects for the betterment of the immediate community. Some of these groups go one step further and do their bit toward state wide projects and a few even contribute to nation wide projects. When it come s to local activities, thr.^e groups with the same goals join forces and all do their share toward making the event a huge success which is a wonderful thing for any community. Each group was organized to perform specific functions for the betterment of all. and with this In mind, it would be financially impossible for all groups to contribute toward every project that comes along as much as they would desire to do so. That is one of the main reasons one finds so many organizations in one community, so more fields can be covered. Since Eosilon Chi Chapter of Tri Kappa was incorporated in Walkerton a year ago. many have asked. ‘What is Tri Kappa?’’ Some have also been of the opinion that any Greek Letter group Is strictly a social organization. Tn Kappa is far from that It was founded in 1901 in Indianapolis and incorporated eight years later. The object of Tri

Kappa Is to "bring women into close, unselfish relationship for the promotion of Charity, Culture and Education." All three of these are included in each Chapter's program in order to achieve perfect balance. Tri Kappa is a state-wide organization which has grown steadily and there are now over ten thousand members in the state. In the field of Charity, the needs of each communitv dicta? ■ the services given locally This group speeds thousands of d- liars annually to build ind m^oitam hospit i. roomr provide dent 1 dmes, and g >en needed th>”apeautic equipment. On the state level, Riley Hospital at Indianapolis. is one of the sorority's chief interests Tri Kappa is also Active in the Mental Health Program. Combined funds from the chapters have been used as an outright grant for research; to pruchase a bus for children's excursions at I-anie Carter Hospital; and for scholarships to students in this fie.d. In the field of Culture, the Indiana State Symphony Association is supported both by state and individual chapters. State funds are used to purchase tickets, given to college music students, hospital patients, welfare agencies and youth groups Money is also given for symphony maintenance. Most of the chapters support either the Indianapolis or local community concerts. Tri Kappas are pn id of their

own art collection housed in Brown County and frequently on veiw at art shows throughout the state. Nearly 85 per cent of the chapters hold patron memberships in the Salon, while chapters in the northwest section of th* state an- very active in the Northern Art Patrons Association. A Fine Arts Scholarship of $ am is given annually to a hign school senior in Indiana This alternate*, between an art student and a music student.

Tri Kappa has recently joined and contributed with the state's leading business and industrial firms to finance the Indiana Talent Search contest in scientific fields.
