AMERICAN COMMONS CLUB The Cincinnati chapter of the American Commons Club was formed in 1924 by a group of men who felt the need for a fraternity which offered brotherhood to all men on campus without restrictions as to race, color, or creed. The I iiiifiiiHiii iiiiiiiHiiiii !iiS£ SS Cincinnati chapter again showed growth and improvement over the past year. An application of the four cardinal principles: democracy, brotherhood, university first, and the open door policy, by the active chapter has led to a group whose enthusiasm for UC and the fraternity serves well as an e.xample for the pledges. Many hours were spent during the summer and this last school year improving the shelter on McMillan street. Fire tiHiiiiiiiiil iiiiiiiii mill hazard improvements and other safety features were the chief items on the work sheet. Active-pledge relationships, always somewhat "strained," were improved this year by giving more meaning to the principles of the fraternity, its role in Greek affairs, and its relationship to the University. Improved pledge training and pledge evaluation by the active chapter was Founded at largely responsible for this.
