I wrote a history for my local chapter a few years ago. I conducted interviews with as many surviving members of our original local as I could, videotaped a few interviews etc. I also spent a considerable amount of time going through university archives, files at our national HQ, newspaper microfiche, etc. It was an incredibly rewarding experience, especially interviewing some of the oldest surviving brothers who actually met our founders. Our oldest brother I interviewed, (90 at the time) actually gave me his local pin, and other memorabillia he had from our years as a local (1926-1947). I had my work copied and spiral bound at Kinkos, and presented it to the chapter, national HQ, the University Archives, and any brothers who asked for it.
