Moving to the Hill
First sorority gets permanent housing
Lehigh's Alpha Phi sorority has accepted an offer to
move into a house on the
"Hill," becoming the first
sorority to have permanent
housing on the formerly all-
male fraternity hill.
"We have been working for
a long time to enable a
sorority to move permanently
onto the hill," said Lehigh
Pres. Peter Likins.  "Both
the Lehigh Plan and the
Residential Environment
Report called for putting at
least two sororities on the
hill by 1998. It is very fitting
that the first sorority, Alpha
Phi, will move to the hill this
year, as we celebrate 25 years
of undergraduate women at
Lehigh."
"We are very excited about
being the first sorority ever to
move to a permanent house
on the hill," said sophomore
Tina Kunkin, president of
Alpha Phi. "We are looking
forward to moving and
renovating the house. We
want to thank the school for
giving us the chance to do
something like this."
Alpha Phi will move into
building 98 on Upper Sayre
Park Road, which was
formerly occupied by Pi
Lambda Phi fraternity. Pi
Lambda Phi voluntarily
relinquished the house for
financial reasons last summer. The fraternity is
considering recolonizing as a
"substance-free" house with a
healthy lifestyle at another
location on campus.
Alpha Phi was the first
sorority at Lehigh. It was
established in 1975, four
years after the first under
graduate women were admitted to the university.   The
sorority now occupies
Congdon House in the Upper
Centennials residence complex. There are currently 87
sisters in the sorority (including new pledges and seniors).
During the last four years
two newer sororities have
temporarily resided on the
hill in other fraternity houses
empty for various reasons.

Alpha Phi is the first sorority
to have a permanent house
on the hill.
There are currently seven
sororities and 29 fraternities
at Lehigh. Approximately
600 women and 1100 men
are members of a Greek
group on campus, which is
about 41 percent ofthe
undergraduate student body.
U.S. Army lands
at Lehigh
Sayre Intramural Field drew the
curious on Friday evening when
one of the Army's largest helicopters landed to pick up Lehigh
University ROTC cadets. Their
ultimate destination was Fort
Indiantown Gap where they participated in two-and-a-half days of
training exercises. The twin-rotor
Chinook (CH47) helicopter was on
the ground for nearly an hour
during which the cadets practiced
boarding and disembarking combat
procedures. Aside from the training exercises, however, curious
spectators were rewarded with an
up-close look and impromptu tours
of an aircraft large enough to carry
an Army Jeep.
