Williams Jr. Alumni Center, giving former and current Aggie Greeks a chance to network and reconnect. exas A&M University prides itself on being an institution unlike any other, and an important part of that uniqueness is “the other education”—the more than 800 student organizations that provide virtually unlimited opportunities to get involved and learn leadership skills. Over the past four decades, tens of thousands of Aggies have sought these opportunities through the A&M’s fraternities and sororities, a system of organizations collectively known as Greek Life. The numbers speak for themselves. Membership in Greek organizations is holding at about 12 percent of the A&M student body. The number of Aggie Greek alumni now tops 25,000. And as befi ts A&M’s unique history and culture, Tthe Greek system at A&M is unlike those at other educational institutions. They are not 1.

With their help, nine off-campus sororities had been chartered by 1975. The next step for these sorority women was to seek housing and meeting space, similar to “sorority rows” at other universities. In 1978, three chapters applied for and eventually received construction permits from the College Station Planning and Zoning Commission. They planned a “Greek village,” complete with Greek-themed street names such as Athens Drive and Olympia Way. A plot was eventually staked 54 TEXAS AGGIE | MAY-JUNE 2011 AGGIENETWORK.COM ATM_3_11_greekfeat.indd 54 4/21/11 3:54 PM PHOTO BY JERREN WILLIS 1 3 2 4 5 AGGIENETWORK.COM TEXAS AGGIE | MAY-JUNE 2010 55 ATM_3_11_greekfeat.indd 55 4/21/11 3:56 PM out, and today Bryan-College Station apply people’s specifi c skillsets to 20,000.

    Texas Education Review Lions, Tigers, and South Asian Greeks: Oh, My! The Opportunity for More Research! Bilal Badruddin, MEd Howard University Volume 5, Issue 2, pp. 17-20 (2017) Available online at www.txedrev.org Badruddin Lions, Tigers, and South Asian Greeks: Oh, My! The Opportunity for More Research! Bilal Badruddin, MEd Howard University Within colleges and universities, fraternities and sororities face many of the same issues affecting the larger society. Each university fraternity and sorority community is a microcosm of the campus community in that the challenges within fraternities and sororities are reflected in the broader college and university environment. One of these challenges relates to race and ‘who gets counted.’ Given that “diversity initiatives regarding campus climate, retention, and representation [tend] to focus on Blacks and Latinos” (Accapadi, 2012, p. 78), the absence of the Asian/Pacific Islander/Desi-American voice in conversations about race epitomizes this broader, campus-wide problem. To date, fraternity and sorority research focuses heavily on organizations with predominately White membership. Only recently have scholars like Gregory Parks, Walter Kimbrough, Lawrence Ross, and Juan Guardia focused on the experience of Black and Latinx organizations. Still, there is a lack of research focusing on fraternities and sororities with a focus on Asian identities, resulting in the lack of effective support from university administrators. Lions: A Brief History of Fraternal Organizations Collegiate fraternal organizations have a strong history in America, starting with the founding of Phi Beta Kappa in 1776. Tobenson (2009) states: The next recorded appearance of a Greek-letter organization occurred thirty-six years after the founding of Phi Beta Kappa.

    THE SIGMA PI MANUAL THIS BOOK BELONGS TO: 2019 Revision Published by Sigma Pi Fraternity sigmapi.org | 615.921.2300 THE CREED OF SIGMA PI I Believe in Sigma Pi, a Fellowship of kindred minds, united in Brotherhood to advance Truth and Justice, to promote Scholarship, to encourage Chivalry, to diffuse Culture, and to develop Character, in the Service of God and Man; and I will strive to make real the Fraternity’s ideals in my own daily life. DEDICATION During Sigma Pi Fraternity’s first 90 years of existence, our Manual had been dedicated to “the pledge.” In 1987, the Manual was rededicated to our first Executive Director, Harold Jacobsen — the main author of the first Sigma Pi Manual. As Sigma Pi progresses through its second century, we look forward to our new members and back to our alumni. This manual is dedicated to the over 110,000 members who have preceded us into Sigma Pi — our alumni. Without their support, dedication, and values, Sigma Pi would not be what it is today. Sigma Pi is not a fraternity for a year or a college career, but for life. II + SIGMA PI MANUAL FOUNDERS ROLIN ROSCO JAMES Born in Lincolnville, Indiana on October 16, 1879, to Robert O. and Mary P.
