In your interesting link you say George Banta is Phi Gamma Delta, then you say he had a "connection" to Phi Delta Theta that assisted with Delta Gamma Eta Chapter at Buchtel College.
So is George Banta a Phi Gamma Delta or Phi Delta Theta?
Guess I'm looking for the definition of your word "connection".

George Banta was a Phi Delta Theta (he served as national president) who was initiated into Delta Gamma in the late 1800s in order to initate his fiancee, Lillian Vawter, into Delta Gamma and thus enable our Delta Gamma Fraternity to grow.
I wish I could post a link to an online history, but we apparently do not have a comprehensive history online.

The 1915 Copy of the ANCHORA, available on Google Books here: http://books.google.com/books?id=9qF...page&q&f=false has a pretty complete early history, including loads of info on George Banta.

I admit I am confused.
Were these teenagers (14-16) enrolled in high school or college?
Anyway, congratulations to a wonderful organization.
