Fraternity histories, read 'em

If you get a chance, borrow one of your Greek pal's pledge manuals. You, in reading their history, will become aware that
virtually all of 'em have fantastic beginnings.
SAE's history, I read as a junior in high school and would have been a Sig Alph had I gone to Kansas State... the stories of the
early members..like Noble Leslie DeVotie, and of Miss Lucy, and
so on..great.
Chi Psi's "Pirate" story; The "Constantine Chapter"; the emptied
out chapters to enlist in the Civil War...these are glorious! All!
Zeta Psi's coat of arms have more sections than a Wal Mart, take
a look at it...even more than Tom's Lambda Chi one.
And Miss Emily Butterworth of Alpha Gamma Delta made sure the
TKE coat of arms was correct in design and heraldry.
And so on...Oh, yes, the enthralling Scruggs wrote "Our Cause Speeds On its Way"... Lots of good reading...and we will soon discover we do like each other...after all!
Cheers from an old Teke in Denver. and, finally, these gems:
the late James Clifford Logan of TKE is the one who said:
"There are few problems that a damned good rush cannot cure."
Bruce B Melchert, international founder of TKE, said, simply:
"The fraternalism stops at the ledger sheet." (on paying bills)
