Gamma Alpha Chi

AMMA ALPHA CHI, honorary advertising sorority, was organized at the University of Nebraska in March of 1926. Membership is open to those women in the School of Journalism, or women who are specializing in advertising, who have shown special ability in that field. It aims to promote the broader interests and higher ideals of advertising as a profession for women.

     Members are elected from the junior and senior classes who have maintained a high average of scholarship. The organization holds business luncheons once a month at which time an outside speaker addresses the group.

     Chapters of Gamma Alpha Chi are located in the foremost schools of journalism, with governing power centered in the Alpha chapter at Columbia, Mo. The fraternity magazine is the official publication of the National Advertising Clubs of the World, with which organization it is affiliated.

Kappa Epsilon

ETA chapter of Kappa Epsilon was installed at the University of Nebraska in 1920. Kappa Epsilon is an honorary professional pharmaceutical sorority. It was nationalized at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota, the same year that it was installed at Nebraska, by a group of pharmacy students under the leadership of Miss Zada M. Cooper.

     The aim of the founders in organizing a professional sorority among pharmacy students may be said to have been three-fold: first, to co-operate with college authorities in maintaining high scholastic standards; second, to promote good fellowship among the students of the college; and third, to provide a means by which pharmacy, as a profession for women, might be made more attractive.

     Eligibility for membership, in addition to high scholastic standards, includes general initiative in work and character. The associate members are the wives of the professors in the College of Pharmacy and other women who are interested in the activities and progress of pharmacy.

     One of the outstanding national functions is the celebration of Founders' Day by each chapter. The Nebraska chapter annually fulfills this requirement with a banquet given in honor of its founder, Miss Zada M. Cooper.
