IGMA LAMBDA was founded at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, on May 15, 1923, by a group of girls in the department of drawing and painting, who realized the need of such an organization. This group, with the aid of Miss Bernice Oehler, a well-known commercial artist, organized the Alpha chapter. This is the only national art society of drawing and painting.

     The Beta chapter was established at the University of Nebraska, March 7, 1924, with eight charter members. Meetings are held regularly every two weeks during the school year. The emblem of the sorority is a pin composed of the two Greek letters, Sigma and Lambda. The colors are Pekin blue and flame.

      The purpose of the sorority is to create an appreciation of drawing and painting, as well as to promote an interest in the relations that this art bears to the other arts.

HE Student Council was organized in 1917 after the proposition had been put to a vote of the student body and almost unanimously adopted. This action came as the result of several years of agitation both by the faculty and by the students. The fundamental idea of such an organization was to provide a common ground between the students and the faculty and since its organization it has successfully fulfilled this purpose.

     The Council is very representative in character and is composed of at least one representative from every college on the campus. There are seven junior men, one each from the College of Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Law, Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Business Administration. In addition to these there are four junior women, one each from the College of Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, School of Fine Arts, and Teachers College. Four seniors are chosen each year to act as a nucleus for the next year's Council.
