Brothers,
When writing an article such as this, I take great pains to verify every fact and keep notes of the sources. Late last week, I asked another brother to read the story and check it over for accuracy. He added the line in question right before leaving on a trip and was thereafter incommunicado. I allowed his addition to remain, and we went to print.
Despite the context, implying this happened in or around 1926, no pictures of undergraduates appeared before 1961. By that time virtually all fraternities already had their own pledge manuals. Therefore, I cannot vouch for the veracity of the statement and have no answer to your question.
But if it is true, perhaps it's best that it remain a mystery.
I am glad you liked the article as a whole, and I appreciate your kind words.
In ZAX,
Jono
