The Alpha Gamma Chapter at Washington and Jefferson College has become the Pennsylvania Alpha Pi of Alpha Tau Omega.
In fourteen representative eastern colleges, with twenty-five hundred students, the fraternity men exceed the non-fraternity men by over five hundred.
The Star and Crescent, the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity journal, offers a prize of fifty dollars for the best historical essay on the "Rise, Progress and Influence of American College Fraternities.' Competition open to all Alpha Delta Phis in classes '81 to '85 inclusive.
The Kappa Kappa Gamma and Delta Gamma Fraternity have been squelched at Madison University, Wis., by the authorities as having a pernicious influence among the young ladies.—Ex.
The annual convention of Phi Gamma Delta will be held in Columbus, Ohio, on the 6th, 7th and 8th days of the present month. This fraternity entered an additional number of good colleges during the past year, and continues in a most flattering condition.
Dr. John Clark Redpath was tendered a banquet by Pi Deuteron Chapter in the Eldridge House parlor on the evening of his address before the literary societies in June. The Deltas here took advantage of the occasion to have a reunion of all Kansas brothers. Representatives were present from nine chapters. Dr. Ridpath delivered a lengthy address on the history and progress of the Delta Fraternity, ending by reading an original poem. Col. Eldridge pronounced the banquet the finest ever set in the city. Phi Gamma Delta enters Kansas University this fall with increased strength.
The tri-annual convention of the G. A. C. of Phi Kappa Psi will be held at Pittsburg, Pa., February 21st, 22d and 23d, 1883.
The forty-fourth convention of Beta Theta Pi was held at Cincinnati the last three days of August. Her Alpha Nu Chapter at Kansas State University will begin the year stronger in members than it did in '81.
Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi will loose several of its best members the coming year. Some go to eastern schools, while others engage in business.
It is rumored that Kappa Kappa Gamma has entered our institution. If so, it will occupy a prominent position in the fraternity world, as the young ladies, supposed to belong to it, are of the first rank.
