Greek Life in the 1940s-1950s


The 1940s and 1950s brought with them much in the way of inter-fraternity competitions.

The Beta Sigma Tau fraternitity reported in the 1958 Buffalonian yearbook that "Formal dinner, informal parties, Kampus Karnival, Moving-Up Day, Help Week, and intermural sports have served to united the Brothers in their quest for a feeling of achievement and brotherhood."

Sorority sisters of Theta Chi reported that during the 1956-1957 academic year they "participated in Stunt Night, I.F.C. Sing, and Kampus Karnival. Some of the high points were our annual Mother-Daughter Tea, Spring Fling and Christmas Party."
