Bairds Manuel
 

Is it even possible to buy a copy of this anymore?

I haven't searched for it extensively, but I rarely get any results from any search engine to even recognize it.

Go to all the online book stores, and put it on your wish list. And wait. A lot.

That's how I got mine.

Try searching for Baird's Manual.

It's pretty much, unless you are hard-core history nut, useless and inaccurate.

Last one was 1991.

They pop up on ebay on a regular basis.

Check your library at school.

I bet you five bucks they have it there.

Interestingly, my school library does not have a Baird's Manual. I thought they would, but to no avail. I would ask your campus student activities/Greek life office.

I don't know if our school library has a copy, but our sorority library does.

If there's something specific you want to look up, maybe another chapter or another GLO has a copy.

you can buy it through the nic. on their website under resources http://nicindy.org

In what ways is in inaccurate?

nope, they dont have it. you owe me five bucks.

Surprisingly, my school actually has one. It's from 1941.

It's 15 years old, and needs to be updated - badly!

They have them on Amazon. You just have to wait 4-6 weeks. They have a used one on there for $32.99 which says it would ship in 1-2 weeks.

So the errors are more in the chapter lists (active/inactive), # of chapters and that sort of thing rather than errors concerning history, etc?

Another big problem is that there's no coverage of the multicultural, Latino/Latina, Asian, or other fraternities and sororities that have been established and grown nationally over the last 15 years or so. So besides being out-of-date regarding the NPHC, NIC, and NPC groups, a growing segment of Greek life isn't dealt with at all.
