On February 16, 1952, Delta Gamma Tau was officially organized as a social organization at Indiana State Teachers College. It was formed and organized by 21 charter members who set as their goal two fundamental principles: ( 1) to estab­ lish and strengthen a bond of fellowship among college men, and ( 2) to further instill an appreciation of the democratic way of living.

The germ of Alpha Alpha was sown in January 1957 when the local fraternity, Epsilon Omega Alpha was formed.

For the student interested in activities, the Associated Students of the University of California ( ASUC), one of the strongest student governments in the country, supports many varied activities. Shortly after the end of World War I, four students of the University of Cali­ fornia decided that an organization should be formed to promote good fellowship. By 1921 the club was recognized by the University as a local fraternity under the name of Delphic. On February 22, 1924, Delphic was accepted as Lambda Chapter of Kappa WEST COAST Delta Rho.

Tills interest exists in a fraternity to a far larger extent than it does in any other form of a living group, and this is what separates a fraternity from a dormitory. One is then bound to ask, "Why join Kappa Delta Rho fraternity?" When one decides which fraternity he will join, he will make one of the most important decisions in his college life. There are, unfortunately, no definite rules one can follow, especially on a campus such as the University of California, which has about 48 fraternities. Each fraternity has some good points that it can offer and some that aren't so good. It is then the task of the prospective pledge to decide what is important to him concerning the frater­ nity he will join. No one factor is more important than the kind of friends with whom he will live.

In the early 1940's the campus of Colby was relocated to a 200 acre tract several miles outside of the city, and since then a beautiful, colonial building plan has resulted in a campus which would compare favorably with any in the East. Sites are assigned to var­ ious fraternities for chapter houses of an approved type, and Xi is trying to raise a building fund to undertake its own house. Until the necessary cash is avail­ able, Xi is housed in a wing of Butler Hall.
