SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE COMMUNISM IN AMERICA By J. EDGAR HOOVER, from his book, Masters of Deceit

Condensed by JEAN BENDSLEV COLEMAN, College Editor

"Something utterly new has taken root in America during the past generation, a communist mentality representing a systematic, purposive and conscious attempt to destroy Western civilization and roll history back to the age of barbaric cruelty and despotism, all in the name of 'progress.' Evil is depicted as good, terror as justice, hate as love and obedience to a foreign master as patriotism."-]. EDGAR HooVER, Masters of Deceit

t:l 16 t:l SIGMA KAPPA TRIANGLE COUNCIL COMMENTS

A Sharing and accepting the responsibilities of the welfare of Sigma Kappa with the other members of your National Council, has been a I most rewarding experience for your new Vice President in charge of alumnre. I Many of you are not able to enjoy the privilege of being represented in the. affairs of our sorority because there is no active and accredited Sigma Kappa alumnre association in your area.

Alumnre chapters are the . symbol of Sigma Kappa sisterhood. Without their loyalty and support of our National Philanthropies, and their wise guidance of our college chapters, Sigma Kappa could never have attained and held its highly respected position in the fraternity world today.

With the possibility of extension on several college campuses in the near future, the need for increased alumnre support is urgent. We will need advisors who will counsel these chapters with mature judgment.

We need your generous support to our Endowment Fund simply because, without this Fund, extension would be impossible.

Since September of 1960, eight new alumnre chapters have been char­ tered. Several more groups are forming with the ultimate objective of establishing an alumnre association.

Much of the credit for the enthusiasm of these groups should go to the excellent staff of workers in the "field," such as our Province Presidents, our National Chairmen, the State Recommendations Chairmen, the Travel­ ing Secretaries and all those who are constantly LOOKING FORWARD, and developing the leadership of the undergraduate students of today. I

Let us always remember and enjoy to the fullest, that which surpasses the strength of all precious metals, THE BELOVED BOND OF SIGMA KAPPA SISTERHOOD.

The juvenile editor wanted to know if I would accept a contract and check for advance royalties and complete the manuscript by July 1. I ac­ cepted, of course, happily. This was on the 13th of December. I had been writing for juvenile publica­ tions ever since my graduation from college in 1948.

"DISCRIMINATION-this used to be a good word. The dictionary gives its synonyms as 'discernment, penetration, distinction, acumen.' We have always had a voluntary selection of members on an individual basis, guided only by the prospective member's scholastic record and by the requirement that she must be adequately sponsored from her own community. As many people have found, there is no way to 'make' a group of college girls, of like interests and backgrounds, accept into membership an'}' girl, no matter how beautiful, smart or talented an alumna may think her. Much of our vitality and strength is traceable to the privilege of the students to select our future membership. " We, the fraternities, can not solve the civil rights problem in this count!Y· We are private, social organizations. The trouble is that many people are confusing civil nghts, which can be legislated, with social acceptance, which cannot be. It seems to me that Alpha Chi Omega's membership roll should be a reflection of the country's acceptance and thinking as times and customs change, just as is now and has been in the past. "When we offer membership to a girl, we are, in effect, assuring her that she will be accepted as an Alpha Chi by any of our chapters and clubs, wherever she may go, not just on a particula! campus. This is a fact we must never forget, nor overlook-to do so could cause great unhappt­ ness and would be wrong in any case, to promise something that we cat1 not deliver." This "quotation" is from "Fraternities in This Changing World" by Jessie Fanyo Payne, National President of Alpha Chi Omega, and published in the December issue of The L yre: This also appeared in the February bulletin of the Interfraternity Research and Advisory Council.
