PHI ALPHA CHI 
Numbering more than 100 members during 1948-49, Phi Alpha Chi, na¬ 
tional accounting fraternity, continued its program, designed to promote 
and foster development of high ethical standards among its members. 
In its second year after post-war reactivation the group was again led 
by Paul Monroe. Representatives from nearby firms addressed the organi¬ 
zation at its bi-monthly meetings. During the winter a group of Toledo 
cost accountants were entertained by the group. 
Membership is based upon enrollment in the College of Business Ad¬ 
ministration with grades of 2.5 in accounting and a cumulative average 
of 2.0 in other subjects. 
William Schmeltz, assistant professor of business administration was 
the advisor of the group during the  1948-49 year.

Activated as a social fraternity at Bowl¬ 
ing Green during March, 1947, Pi Theta 
has spent the first year and a half com¬ 
pleting organization plans and refinish- 
ing their recently acquired off-campus 
chapter house. The brick structure on 
North Main street was refurnished 
throughout. A game room was added in 
the basement. 
Socially the fraternity was active with 
a series of house parties given in honor 
of various university sororities and or¬ 
ganizations. A top feature was a hay- 
ride and Halloween party in October. A 
closed formal was held in April. 
Officers of the 1948-49 year were: 
Dick Soderberg, president; Pete Cop- 
pock, vice-president; Gordon Ponceby, 
treasurer; and Charles Seely, secretary.
