Without a house in which to hold its first initiation Theta Delta Sigma was introduced on the Colgate campus by eight men in 1914 as a local fraternity. At the United States entry into the World War, this strong Local petitioned and was accepted as Delta Upsilon, the eighty-ninth chapter of Sigma Nu national fraternity. In three years the membership of this chapter increased and through the efforts of Brothers Bewkes and Saunders of the faculty, who were likewise charter members, Sigma Nu became increasingly prominent at Colgate. A new chapter house for this fourteen year old group made its appearance along Fraternity Row in 1928 as a replacement. for the old residence on Pine Street. . The past. year recalls many interesting incidents to the brothers of Sigma Nu-- Medico Bill Betsch has had the extraordinary fortune of hearing the dulcet tones of his girl's voice over the student program of W YR-- -Dick Bennett also played the Syracuse league-- - Sleepy Dane Buck, Morpheus' own shadow, is still waiting a reply from LIBERTY on a Valentine's Day story- - - Shanty Cann, the embryonic Barney Oldfield who plans to take another Thursday-Wednesday weekend jaunt in his long publicized but never materialized Packard 12-- Doctor Clapp, whose sales talk was necessary for his duties as rushing chair– man and Ski Club president, should make prime fodder for some insurance company. - - - "Pinchpenny" Dubben, scourge of the local merchants and Scrooge of the house, is still gasping over the little nurse who he1ped close his recent incision. 160
