JUSTIFYING THEIR
EXISTENCE
TI{ANhS to the slap-happy poi trayals of col
lege life by movie producers who probably never
saw the inside of a college, incoming freshmen are
most likely to have a bad taste in their mouths
whim frateinities are mentioned
Although fraternities naturally put' on their
Sunday accent dining rushing season, only to
have their celestial finery wear off to a mote real
laic level uftei it's all over, they ale not, as sons:,
would have you believe, hopeless dens of , cattei -
lnams and minus two's
Vele this the case, fraternities would have died
a lling time ago, if foi no other reason than that
they would have sun out of scatterl» ems and
minus two's
IN the contrary, fraternities were founded to
answer a messing need foi greater social oppor
tinlitieslo the students
And they have continued to exist and multiply
because they have answered that need
Now, it may' be true that different fraternitieg
foiter_ilitreient idealk judge rush+, by differcni
standaids, function upon different principles
13ut fraternities are social gioup4,
knotted in common fellowship, seeking to lama's ,
dui fields of student opportunity in an effort to
make then college education a more-rounded whole
For regardless of uhat you may say, an edu-
C 19011-01 iodic), anything appioaching an edu
cation—cannot be gained in the classioom alone
A person must do mole than cultivate his brain
to become a desirable citizen, able to discharge ef
t4ently the obligations and responsibilities that
me conferred with citizenship
lie must lie mme than intellectual, whatever tho
woid implies
He must he able to meet, to handle, to tolerate
people, people from different walks of life, peoplo
with (Wrung opinions, people with differing per-
Be must 1w able to accept. t esponsibilities with
out sin) ling
it nd above ull, he most. be able to utilize hi•
"education" efficiently
Unable to do this his education is not wroth th ,
Lime of the ink on his diploma .
ljele it is then—in the cultivation of these im
poitzint things—that the ftaternity shines ahoy. ,
all= else
Fat no one. yet has been able to dcvise an of
fic&nt educational system that is so, pi evalent in
the fiaternines higgeq contribution to the educa
Koval field—the time-honoicd "bull session"
That conti ibution alone can justify- then exist
ence and then giowth
Now again it may he true that minus two's are
pi Evalent in fratomties But they also are preval
ent, among non-fraternity men
Zug as these ale good profe , -sors and bad pin
fesson, so these are good students and bad stu
dents And they tome as they come, fraternities or
no Ihaternities ••
In fact, the frateinity scholaiship averages pub
lished on Page 3 of this issue disprove any theory
tha.t fraternity membership and fraternity envii
onefient wive to ding glades downward
Ate, the averages show, 15 houses are above the
allTollege mink of 1.11, with a score or so of
others within qriking distance And the difference
befieen the all-fi eternity average and the all-non
fiaternity average is the mere finction of eigh'
one.hundiedths of one point
MI in all, it's not the difference in fraternity
meratei ship that counts so much as it is the (lam
ent! in grey matter and personal initiative
