If I see that movie with a bunch of friends, I can see everyone leaving pissed off and breaking something.

Since there's a book about the Deltas posted, I'll post a pretty good one for SPE. It's called OUR JOURNEY OF BROTHERHOOD Sigma Phi Epsilon's First Hundred Years. I learned a lot of info from this book about SPE's history that isn't even in touched in member education.

I'd wager that most GLOs more than a few decades old have at least one history book if not more. They are interesting reads. I always keep an eye out for them at used book stores and on used book websites.

Fraternity Histories in wide release?

For Alpha Phi Omega, our history book was only sold by our national office. For Delta Sigma Theta, as best as I can tell, it was sold both by the national office and in bookstores, which way are various other fraternity histories...

Apparently you can buy various Alpha books through the non-member side of the website.

ETA: I recommend them all for the serious student of BGLO history, but beware that the Centennial Book of Essays and Letters does not have an index.

Kappa Alpha Theta has a few hsitory books. I too must agree that the history is fascinating and there is no way everything could possibly be touched on in member education.

I have and own all of Theta's history books except for one, Kite Flight. I'm always on the look out for it.
