Ultimately, when they have finished their preliminary work, they Carleton ‘06 Shippensburg ’66 Illinois ‘49 are initiated as brothers of Acacia. And the cycle begins once again. Traditionally, winter is also the time when chapter officers are elected and transition begins from the old regime to a new one. The Judge Advocate Scott C. Graham Richard S. Rasmussen Maximilian J.
