SPRING 1967 Surrender Or Survive~

SPRING 1967 Surrender or Survive~ Kappa today has but two directions to go. We may listen to the powerful out­ side forces who are trying to tell us we do not have the right of membership selection. Or, we can understand our fundamental democratic rights; reiterate our basic purposes and creed; separate civil rights from social privileges. A freedom once taken away can never be redeemed. Surrender will come from yielding one basic freedom-the guaranteed right of personal choice. Our survival depends upon the alumna: with en thusiasm for the interests and achievements of Kappa; who will indicate the value of fraternities in college and later life; who believe in perpetuating Kappa for the development of social, moral and intellectual excellence in its membership; who are knowledgeable about our fraternity; and who will sponsor those young women we believe will share our enthusiasm and ideals. In three years Kappa will enter its second century. Survival will also depend upon the undergraduates to maintain a loyalty to school and country, tolerance, reverence, moral fitness , social excellence bred in gracious living. Most im­ portant is the ability to think on your own. Living the prime experience of deep friendship in fraternity life, you must choose those who are to continue the life blood of the fraternity, and rightfully so. Membership selection is a mutual consideration. The privilege of the alum­ na: to sponsor and the responsibility of the actives to choose. Assume this privilege and responsibility that Kappa may not face a secondary force from within. Meet the challenge of today with knowledge, conviction and determina­ tion that our purposes be as worthy now as they have been since 1870. "I am only one, but I AM one.
