Pennsylvania State College, January 30 - The most notable event in January for Omega was the Senior Ball.

The Saturday following the Ball a tea dance was held at the chapter house. Several other fraternities were invited for the dance. In the evening our sophomores and freshmen were invited to the Sigma Pi's dance and the upperclassmen drifted around from one house dance to another faithfully fulfilling the old State custom of visiting.
