BORRAOA II.P DWIO ~I T T. DOliCLA S - 2 - THE LAUREL JANUARY, 1936 Three Decades M ARCH 17, 1936, marks the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of Phi Kappa Tau. In the three decades which have passed since our four Honored Founders gathered in Old Main Building at Miami University great changes have been wrought in American educational institution s. College enrollment today is more than five times that of 1900; most college buildings have been constructed since L900; the course of study in 1936 is vastly different than that of a third of a century ago. Despite these changes, Phi T aus jealously cling to the Founders' ideals, which have made possible moral, spiritual, and social development of more than eight thousand men. Through the efforts of the Honored Founders and those who have followed, Phi Kappa Tau for thirty years has been a constructive adjunct to the system of education. If Phi Kappa T au is to continue an enduring part of American colleges and universities it must stand definitely and in a four-square fashion for the real objectives of the Fraternity. It must put scholarship above every phase of college I if c. It must emphasize the ideals which arouse valiant emotions, stir potential talents. It must encourage genuine culture, clean-cut living, clear business integrity. It must develop sympathetic understanding, provide a helping hand in times :lf need. It must foster wholesome fellowship, create endw·ing friendships. It must stand for sound fin ance, conservative growth, and the firm conviction that a fraternity should lead men rather than be led by them. By sincere devotion to these principles will Phi Kappa T au honor Brothers Shideler, D ouglas, Borradaile and Boyd, who established Phi Kappa T au three decades ago. - 3 - College Fraternity • • • A Character - Builder National Interfraternity* * Conference * Emphasizes Greek Influence LACING emphasis upon* the char· *nunciation * of Hell Week," he said, "or P acter-builcling influence of the college get some action.

Answering the question, "H ow can we vitali:e our fraternity life and make the fraternity more useful to the college," Dr. H enry M .

    Asher M. Daniel ’17 Dartmouth College Oral History Program SpeakOut November 11, 2018 Transcribed by Mim Eisenberg/WordCraft [ELIZABETH A.] JANOWSKI: Hello. This is Elizabeth [A.] Janowski from the Dartmouth College Class of 2021. Today is November 11th, 2018, and the current time is 12:24 p.m. I’m here in Baker-Berry Library in Hanover, New Hampshire, speaking with Asher [M.] Daniel, a former Dartmouth College student from the fall of 2013 to the winter of 2018. Asher is speaking with me from his home in Chelsea, Oklahoma. The following interview is part of the Rauner [Special Collections] Library’s SpeakOut projects, an oral history project focused on recording the memories and experiences of Dartmouth’s LGBTQIA+ community. So, all right, Asher, I thought we could start at the very beginning, and let’s just talk about where home is to you. So where were you born, and where did you grow up? DANIEL: Well, I was born not too far from where I’m at right now. I was born in a small hospital in Claremore, Oklahoma, and then proceeded to grow up in the little town of Chelsea. I think it was, like, only 200 people here. Quite a little small town, where I lived until I left for school. Very small little community, very close knit. A little interesting. My family did not fit in the most, but we’re—my—none—none of my family—like some other families was from a small town. My mom was from California. My dad grew up in Arkansas.

We are in Collis, and today is Sunday, May 12th, 2013. So to get us started, why don’t you talk about where you grew up? BISWAS: So I was born in New Delhi, India, and I spent the first few years of my life there. Then there was a period where I moved back and forth from the United Arab Emirates and India, so I spent, like, a year in the UAE and then came back and then a year and came back. It’s actually very confusing. Then, when I was, like, 7-ish, we again move to the UAE and stayed there, so from 7 ‘til I came to Dartmouth, I was in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. WOMICK: Okay. What kind of schools did you attend? BISWAS: So in India, I attended a little bit of a—kind of an elite private school, G.D. Goenka Public School, so in India it used the British system, and a “public” school in that system is equivalent to a “private” school here, while I know in England a “government” school is what would be a “public” school here, so it’s called G.D. Goenka Public School, but it’s a private school. We had to wear, like, blazers. Like, I had a red blazer. I learned what the word “blazer” was.

  • Fraternities & Sororities
    Guide to Fraternities & Sororities 2011-2012 GreetinGs from Fraternity & sorority Affairs! Welcome to the university of Rochester Fraternity and Sorority community! Whether you are a fraternity/sorority member, a prospective member, a parent, faculty or staff member, student, or a guest of the university, we are happy to welcome and introduce you to the unique, and award-winning, community of fraternities/sororities in the College. The uR fraternity/sorority system is aligned with the educational philosophy of the College. due to the intentional connection to the academic mission of the College, the organizations appreciate the value of being a part of a learning community. We support a framework that assumes fraternities and sororities can and want to be successful and that the College’s role is to expect and to provide support for their success. The system stresses the importance of autonomy of action within a framework of shared systems, goals, and objectives (expectations for excellence). We believe our success-driven model represents a unique and effective model for the university of Rochester. We are proud of the success achieved by both our chapters and individual members. Annually uR chapters and members are recognized with top national awards for their excellence in scholarship, leadership, programming, service, and risk management. Many members of our fraternity/sorority community are also leaders of a variety of organizations on campus including, but not limited to, Student Government, Class Councils, cultural groups, and academic undergraduate councils. We are fortunate to have many faculty and staff, including thed ean of Students, the dean of Freshmen, and the dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, involved as Chapter Advocates who volunteer to assist organizations in planning and implementing their expectations for excellence and related programs.

AMERICAN COLLEGE FRATERNITIES: A DESCKIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIETY SYSTEM IN THE COLLEGES OF THE UNITED STATES, WITH A DETAILED ACCOUNT OF EACH FRATERNITY. BY WM. RAIMOND BAIRD. PHILADELPHIA: J. B. LIPPINCOTT & CO. London : 16 Southampton Street, Covent Garden. 1879. v- \j „ CASE ft Copyright, 1879, by Wm. Baimond Baird. • • • • • • • ••"•• • •• • • •• • ••.••>•••••• • ••• « • •• • ••••• •••••• • ' PEEFAOE. The author of this book is a member of one of the college fraternities. Having occasion to make inquiries in regard to one of these organizations, he was surprised to learn that there was no general repository of facts in regard to them, that few of their members knew more than the names of those with which they had come into contact, and that the majority were ignorant alike, of the origin, principles, history, and customs of any of the fraternities, oftentimes their own included. This lack of knowledge has arisen not from the desire to know nothing of other organizations, nor from indifference to the affairs of their neighbors, but from the fact that information of this kind had never been brought together in a convenient shape. An endeavor has been made to make this book a vehicle of such information. In seeking material the author has in general met with the hearty co-operation of the fraternities themselves, and with few exceptions all facilities have been placed at his disposal. Nothing is here given to the public that an intelligent observer could not ascertain, and no attempt has been made to lay bare any of the so-called secrets of the college societies.
