Fine Chance for Confusion

means everything in the world and when one is chosen that readily lends its•elf to wrong impression an unfortunate situation arises. In the past some fratern:ties, after operating for several years, have been forced to change their titles in order to avoid confusion. In the case of Phi Kappa Pi it appears to be the better par t of wisdom to foresee this impending confusion and remove its possibility by select::ng another name at the beginning.

BE choice of Phi Kappa Pi as the name for the new national Fraternity, formed at the last session of the InShort ter-fraternity Conference, is nothing :p· of "unfortunate and regrettable." oft~ Rappa Phi's attitude toward the · name the e Fraternity has been expressed through "ent·resolution adopted at the Atlanta con' reso 1utwn .

Not until the opening of the winter quarter, January 2, 1921, was a house secured.

Owing to the difficulties of holding meetings and to the inefficacy of its ideals with a cattcred membership, the club considered thi::; step necessary. January 6, the club held "open house" for the other cam pu houses, and January 14, gave its fir t informal. The second "Vimy Ridg Banquet" was held April J1, and the club looked back over a successful year.

The basketball cup was in its po session.

The U. C. C. had sponsored icc hockey, when the students of the niver ity w rc unwilling to support a hockey team. The club ha I pul forth it own material and financed the team .

~========================================·~ T n E s ·r" n " N o L " { " taT l\ r ·' v, 1 9 2 4 During the fall q u arter of 1921, the difficu lties of carr ying on as a c lub became more and more ev id e nt, a nd the i le1 of becoming a fraternity was e nt ertai n ed . S in ce the U. C.

December G, 1 D21, a fraternity constitution was framed a nd adopted. 'J'h ,: n iversity Ca n adian C lub disbanded and Chi upsilon hi Tationa l Fraternity was o r gan ized. The new fraternity was to restrict m embership to British s ubj ect s or to m en educ ated within the British bmp ir e . December 9, the l"raternity was admitted to the U. of W. Inter-Fraternity Cou n cil a a n atio n a l fraternity .

The thirty-five members of the o ld . C. C. were the c h arte r members. At a meeting on December 12, by-law s for the \ Vas hin gton chapter were approYCd. January Hi, 1922, the fraternity crest, a nd final draft of the ritu al were approved.

During the year th e fraternity was as act iY e as the U. C. C. had been during the previous year. 'J'he U niv ersi t y r ecognized icehockey as a minor sport, a nd eight of the team were drawn from the fraternity. Games were p layed with the Uni ,·ersity of British Columb ia and \ i\Tashi n gton vvon the series. ] une 12, ·1022, final papers o f in corporati o n we r e filed, and the con~titu ti o n o f C hi Upsi lon Ch i became the by-law s o f th e C hi Upsilon C hi F r ater nity, Inc. 'l'he sch oo l year 19 ~2-23, ope ned a u sp rclo u s ly, a nd the fraternity pie lged a numl e r of de s irab le Canad ians.

December 12, the f r ater nity amended it· by-law s and constitution so a. to · admit to member hip any m a le of pure white blood who professed the Chri ·tian faith. This step was n ecessitated by the paucity o f Canadians com in g to the U niv ersit y of \Va s hin gto n be-ca u se o f the splendid progres s o f the U niversity of British Columbia.

B · wa s a Pi Kapp in those early days, when Pi Kappa P hi , yo un g and comparatively unkn own, was strugglin g nit for recognition as a Nationa l Fraterh Y. Be reme mb ered the disappointments and ca rta c: h .

111 g Was sa id for a day or two about frat ernal ff . iect a a1rs. However, I knew the s ub Wait Would be broached eventuall y, and T Me eel for Cousin Tom to take the initiati\'e. c a 11 ~hil c, T took pains to display my pin as frat·Picu . . o u s 1Y as possible.

Then llltl ~lettl ed back in hi s easy c h air, without so 1 as a syllable of com m e nt.

Cousin Tom always was rath er dramatic, especiall y ~o, when he wanted to impr ess.

He sat for a moment in deep thou g ht, hi s eye s fixed on t h e pin, then, liftin g his gaze to m eet mine, sa id in a half-hum orous way, "A rc you a Pi Kapp ?"

I'll adm it I was quite taken back by Cousin '!'om' s question. I mu st ha\-c s hown amaze ment q ui te plainly, for he seemed to enjoy so m et hin g hu gely, as he looked at me and waited for m e to answer. "\Vh y, yes," I finally stammered, "D idn ' t you recognize that pin ?"

I finally caught a faint gleam of intelli gencc, and waited for him to continue.

"A lot of so-called Chri. tian s ar c going to be pretty badly di sappoipted when th ey come . to die and find that the immigration quot:~ to the cw Jerusalem i. already comfortably filled," h e went on.

Early in the year, members of the Committee thought it wise, in v iew of the eno rmou s increase in coll ege enrollm ent following the war, to fo ster establi shm ent of at least one new national fraternity in or ler to extend to more co llege men the advantages of a national organization .

Invitations were issued by the Com mittee to 500 local fraterr1ities throughout the Un ited Stales to send representatives to a spec ial conference of locals, held concurrentl y w ith the Inter-Fraternity Conference.

Delegates from seve nty-seven locals responded.

G u ided by the Committee, but acting e ntirely on their own vo liti on, representatives of twelve local s, after an all -ni ght sess ion, a nn ounced on the last day of t he Conf erence tentative creation of a new national f raternity, P hi Kappa P i.

Chapters of the p roposed fraternity whi ch, it is expected, wi ll be organi zed definitely within six month s, stretch from New Hampshire to Iowa and Nebraska. Membership at the outset will number nearly 300 und ergrad uates .

While the failures of students in their collegiate work are a proper subject for humor or satire and the Conference recognizes the elements of wit and good hum or in the establishment and symbolism of Kappa Beta Phi, it thinks that a sense of proportion and of loyalty to their fraternities ought to lead stud ents to refrain from creating organization s based on poor scholarship, and especially from misappropriating emblem s that have acquired a dignifit:d standing in the community.

N THE r ecent election of, "WHO'S \tVHO," at Mercer, two m embers of A lph a A lpha were chosen to fill the hi g hest places on the li s t. Joe McCla in was elected as most bri lli ant, and "M ike" Herndon, was elected as, the best a ll 'round student. ,Tor: McClain is one of the m ost prominent a ncl out standing m en at Mercer. One mi ght think that he is a book worm because of b eing elected the most brilliant. H e do es not spend all of hi s time with books, but indulges in alm ost eve ry co ll ege activity. He is the judge of the stud ent tribunal; inter-co ll egiate debater; member of th e Senior Round Table; t.h hig hest ranking man in the Senior Law Sc hoo l, and was one of the most promi sin g foo tb all players on the field until he suffered a di slocated kn ee. Besides, he is one of the most ardent workers in our chapter. He was elected as Archon and h e exhibited there hi s rar e ability as a leader.

To show those who do not know "Mike" Herndon, that he is worthy of the place as best all round student, I shall enumerate the

different honors he has attained. The foliO'''' in g co nstitute s the Ji st as best he cou ld r~· ca ll : vice-president of Freshman class ; prcsl: dent o f Sophomore class; vice-president ot Juni or class ; secretary of Senior class ; menl' ber of athletic board for two years; memb~! of Senior Round Table; vice-pre ident of of M.

grad uated from Saint Mary's in Raleigh, and afterwards did work here at the University.

Due to the diligence and fore. ight of a iew of our dear brothers, our front yard will soon, that is when May and June sw in g . in, present the appearance of a well-kept a nd cul tivated lawn. 'l'he aspect of the front yard will be greatly toned up, clue to shrubbery and other bushes set out to create that effect.

Brother McRae deserves credit for putting this thing over, it was a good move and should be appreciated.

Charlie Stroud is in a New York hospital for treatment. He will not return to schoo l this quarter.

Bill Murdock, who ha s been over at Trinity this year, will join us again for the spring quarter.

Brother McLeod, from Lakeland, Florida. and Rho Chapter has been visiting us for a while. It would suit us fine if this good brother would decide to cast his lot with Kappa and enter sc hool h ere .

Charlie Barlow, old Zeta and Univ ersity of South Carolina man , is taking Law here.

This year has witnessed the formation of several new locals, indication of the fact that the fraternity system is growing here. There are eight national social fraternities with chapters on the Florida campus but they cannot handle thirteen hundred men.

The Pan-Hellenic Council is composed of two members from each National fraternity.

Meetings arc held once a month unless a special meeting is nece ssary. A man cannot be pledged at Florida until he is registered.

The council is powerful and its decision s arc enforced. The faculty cooperates and offers a lovin g cup eac h year to the fraternity havi ng the best scholast ic standin g.

Brothers Manley and Hill s have been forced to leave co ll ege on account of sickness. We ha\'e a place for them and hope to welcome t hem back next session.
