All members of the fraternity are requested to file complete information with their Chapters at once. 4 ALUMNI influence of alumni on the attitude of our chapters toward many of THEtheir problems is of serious import. The abnormal difficulties of the post war days have been of no little concern to the fraternity but with the added responsibilities, caused by prohibition, our chapters, like all other fraternity chapters, have needed and will continue to need helpful brotherly direction from the right sort of alumni. There is no doubt but that the very great percentage of alumni would not think of exerting anything but the proper constructive influence on a chapter. There is also no doubt but that a very small percentage of alumni never stop to think what a seriously detrimental effect improper influence may have. Now from these statements it would seem that the greater influence for good would so far outweigh the other that our comments should be unnecessary. It is, however, unfortunately true that the first division of alumni do not make it a point to work with the undergraduates to anywhere near the extent they could and should. The alumni, whose example is not always of the best, do seem to be more in evidence than is desired, and far more than their proportionate numbers warrant. The good alumnus returns to his chapter for re-unions, for initiations, and other special events. He does his part loyally toward his chapter finan cially. His heart is with them�he wants them to do well, and when called that upon to do anything he is always ready to respond. He perhaps feels the small group of alumni who act as the chapter trustees are well able to direct the undergraduates and to advise them. His supposition that the trustees will do their work is sound but the good alumnus does not always stop to think that he, himself, could be of good service to his own or any other chapter of the fraternity that may happen to be nearer his residence and that he should set about to do something. All of our chapters want and welcome close alumni friendships. Our chapters do not need preaching, they do not need scoldings, they do not need criticizing, but it is invariably true that they will warmly receive the helpful suggestions of worthy alumni and any wholehearted attempt at its own and likes to be able proper directing. Every chapter has problems alumni who do to talk them oyer with the alumni. It is always true that the this brotherly work with the chapters are well repaid. They find the en thusiasm of the undergraduates stimulating, their hopes encouraging, and their friendship inspiring, real and worth while.

    OUR MUTUAL QUEST... interfraternity history and objectives Origin of Fraternities............................74-76 U.S. Presidents in Fraternities.................77 Nomenclature...........................................78 Fraternity Language..............................78-79 Interfraternal Acronyms............................79 College Fraternities...............................80-81 Interfraternity Organizations...................81-82 ORIGIN OF FRATERNITIES The American college fraternity system is as old as the United States itself, for it was in 1776 that the first secret Greek-letter society came into existence. It was the custom then for students at William and Mary, the second oldest college in America, to gather in the Apollo Room of the Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg, Virginia, to discuss the affairs of the day. On the night of December 5, 1776, five close companions stayed after the others had left and founded Phi Beta Kappa. A secret motto, grip, and ritual were subsequently adopted. The Fraternity had to be secret because the William and Mary faculty didn’t approve of its students discussing social issues and possibly straying too far from accepted beliefs. Therefore, the members developed secret signals of challenge and recognition. The concept of a secret grip, motto, ritual, a distinctive badge, code of laws and the use of Greek letters by Phi Beta Kappa were adopted by subsequent fraternities. Fraternity, Morality, and Literature were the principles symbolized by the stars on the silver medal adopted as the insignia of Phi Beta Kappa membership. The society prospered, and three years later expansion began. Chapters were established at Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth and numerous other campuses. As Phi Beta Kappa developed, it evolved into a purely honorary society. For this reason, as other fraternities were founded, they were not considered competitors.

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.

  • SORC) August 2019
    Report of the Student Organization Review Committee (SORC) August 2019 Description The Student Organization Review Committee (SORC) was created by a subcommittee of the Charter Committee for Building Social Community at Trinity College and was first convened in December 2013. SORC is composed of two students, two faculty members, and one staff member. The committee currently meets twice per semester. The purpose of this report is to describe the work of SORC during the 2018-2019 academic year. This document will describe the annual review process, provide an update on the work of the Committee and conclude with recommendations regarding the work of SORC. Purpose SORC annually reviews selective social organizations to assess progress toward compliance with the standards set by the Charter Committee’s subcommittee. Selective social organizations are defined as all social organizations with a dedicated facility (regardless of ownership), selective membership, and/or initiation process. These include Greek Letter Organizations, theme houses, and cultural houses. SORC is not a disciplinary body. Rather, the committee determines whether an organization has met the standards set by the College. The committee also provides constructive feedback to each organization with suggestions for improvement during the next review period. Reporting Process For the annual review, each organization is provided a form or “report” with the following prompts: What is the event or accomplishment through which your organization contributed most to the campus or broader community? Please connect your organization’s values to the new mission statement of the college. Engage. Connect. Transform. As the preeminent liberal arts college in an urban setting, Trinity College prepares students to be bold, independent thinkers who lead transformative lives.
