Susquehanna University - 1960 to 1969

Greek life was very active at Susquehanna during the 1960s. Fraternities and sororities helped students form close friendships while maintaining their group's long standing traditions. Initially founded as social organizations, fraternities and sororities developed service programs in order to give back to the community.

The Panhellenic Council consisted of three delegates from each of the three National Panhellenic Sororities operating on campus. The goals of the Council were to promote "high social standards and sound scholarship." The Council held a pledge dance each year to welcome pledges into its membership. Shown are images from the formal affair held in 1962.

The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, previously kown as Phi Epsilon, was the fourth fraternity established at Susquehanna University and found its home at the former Charles Aikens residence on University Avenue.

Phi Epsilon was the fourth fraternity organized at Susquehanna University. It joined the University in February of 1961 and one year later merged with the Tau Kappa Epsilon national fraternity. Shown are the members in 1962.
