  • The Chapter History of the Sigma Alpha Rho Fraternity of America
    The Chapter History of the Sigma Alpha Rho Fraternity of America On a certain night, in the late months of the year 1917 (actually November 18, 1917) , a group of boys gathered in a synagogue on Larchwood Avenue, near 60th Street, in Philadelphia. Amidst the buzz of voices, a rapping on the table was heard, and President Jules Feinstein called the meeting of the Soathical Club to order. The Soathical Club was an organization that had been established the previous Spring by a group of Jewish students in the West Philadelphia High School for the purpose of banding them together socially. The name was derived from a combination of the words social and athletic, and among the activities was included a baseball team. The usual procedure at the meeting revealed nothing of phenomenal importance. But with the oncoming of new business there was born a fraternity. Ponderous Bill Braude arose and in his sincere voice pleaded that the Club be formed into a fraternity, primarily for the advancement of Jewish student interests in the West Philadelphia High School. No visible hand of God stretched out from the sky that night; no strange whispers were carried by the winds; no spiritual bell was heard ringing,; but in the fertile soil of that group the seed of The Sigma Alpha Rho Fraternity was planted, nourished by eleven valiant hearts. The seed had been embedded deeply within the hearts of the boys. Through voicing of unfriendly criticism, internal strife and racial prejudices, the young seed neither wavered, faltered nor was it hindered in its becoming a noble tree with wide spreading branches; and still the tree of the fraternity grows with many more branches and in spirit.
