Sigma Rho
The Samplers Club, an organization composed of prominent students at the School of Mines, has recently petitioned and been accepted by Sigma Rho, National Mining Fraternity. A charter has been granted the local organization as Delta Chapter of the fraternity, and installation will be held near the middle of May.
Sigma Rho was started a number of years ago at the Michigan College of Mines (Alpha Chapter), where it existed for some time as a local. Expansion toward becoming a national organization began when Beta Chapter was started at the University of Minnesota, and more recently a charter was granted to Gamma Chapter, at the University of Kentucky. The membership at present is near six hundred. Sigma Rho is a professional fraternity, as only men who are candidates for degrees in Mining, Metallurgy and Geology are admitted to active membership, instructors in mining colleges being admitted as associate members.
