Hampden-Sydney College, an all male school in Virginia, issued to issue (and still might) its students a pamphlet titled "To Manners Born, To Manners Bred". My chapter requested a copy from a brother at the campus. It was very helpful in 'fine tuning' for situations that some of our members had never dealt with before college.
