    THE CRIMSON 71 Pan-Hellenic (Men) National Inter-fraternity Conference The National Inter-fraternity Confer­ ence, a co-operating but non-legislative as­ sociation of the progressive fraternities of men, was organized in 1909. The Confer­ ence meets annually at New York on the Friday and Saturday following Thanks­ giving, unless the place or date is changed by a majority vote of the officers. It pub­ lishes a Year Book of notable value which preserves in permanent form addresses and reports of great importance to the fraternity system. The purpose of the National Interfra­ ternity Conference is to discuss questions of mutual interest and to present to the member fraternities such recommenda­ tions as the Conference deems wise, it be­ ing understood that the functions of the Conference are purely advisory.

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.

    The United Nations Fraternity: Tau Delta Phi

    The United Nations Fraternity: Tau Delta Phi Calvin Lee ’15 RE 221, “Topics in Maine’s Jewish History,” January 2013 Since the 1830s, the Greek letter system has been a dominating presence on college campuses in the United States. For young men and women, these student organizations provided housing, lasting friendships, social status, and membership into a network of powerful and influential people. However, despite the various social benefits and advantages offered by fraternities, many of these exclusive brotherhoods perpetuated both racial and religious discrimination on college campuses. Fueled by waves of immigration, both World Wars, and a rapid growth in those seeking higher education, fraternities quickly became a barrier that separated young men and women based on their racial, ethnic, or religious identities. Between the years 1881 and 1924, there was an explosion of over two and a half million Jewish immigrants from various Central and Eastern European countries. These immigrants were driven from their native lands by threats of persecution as well as the scarcity of economic opportunity and mobility. Such economic difficulties were the result of the industrialization and urbanization of societies in the 19th century. Millions who struggled to even feed their families traveled across the Atlantic to what they hoped would be the “land of opportunity.” Many Central and Eastern European Jews also sought refuge in the United States from political upheaval, including the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the formation of the Third Communist International two years later. In response to the surge of immigration into the U.S., the government imposed the National Origins Act of 1924, a quota limiting the number of immigrants that could be admitted into the country annually.

Copyright © 2020 0 Dear New Member, Congratulations! You are about to embark on a lifelong journey of membership into the oldest and one of the most venerated College fraternities in America. This journey will be filled with numerous lifelong friendships, experiences, and opportunities. Established at the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) on December 24, 1824, our Fraternity has witnessed our members distinguish themselves in virtually every walk of life. Chi Phi was founded on friendship and for almost two centuries has steadfastly stood for Truth, Honor and Personal Integrity. As members of Chi Phi, we profess and subscribe to a higher form of friendship that we refer to as Brotherhood. Chi Phis are gentlemen who respect and defend the rights of others. We profess a devotion to high moral conduct and responsible citizenship. We are today’s campus leaders and tomorrow’s world leaders. As members of the Fraternity we have a sacred obligation to one another. Membership requires that we demonstrate a spirit of sincerity and respect toward each member. We can be diverse yet be of one heart. We can agree to disagree, but at the end of the day we can still embrace in the spirit of Brotherhood. As in most relationships, the benefit you derive from Chi Phi will be directly proportional to the effort you expend as a member.
