Dean Woodruff said fraternities sometimes "emphasize some of the superficial things in life." Men are sometimes self-centered, he said. He explained that "men form their own little group and place group interests above more important aspects of life."
From 1947-1953 Dean Woodruff served as Dean of Men and as adviser to the Interfraternity Council.
TO OBTAIN PERSPECTIVE, one should look at the origin and history of fraternities.
Fraternities started almost with the birth of the nation.
Phi Beta Kappa is credited with being the first Greek letter society. The first chapter was established Dec. 5, 1776, at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va.
PHI BETA KAPPA had all the characteristics of today's fraternities: a ritual, oaths of fidelity, a grip, a motto, a badge for external display, a seal, a token of salutation, and a constitution.
Other chapters were formed in 1781. In 1831, the society assumed its present status as an honor organization.
The University of Kansas had its first fraternity in 1873 when the Alpha Nu chapter of Beta Theta Pi was formed here. Deuteron chapter of
Phi Gamma Delta followed in 1881
Phi Gamma Delta followed in 1881. There are currently 27 social fraternities, average for a campus of 11,000 students.
THE GOVERNING BODY of these organizations is the Interfraternity Council (IFC). The IFC exists to analyze activities of the fraternities as a whole.
It also serves as a co-ordinator of all the fraternities together when acting as one large body.
The official adviser to the IFC is Donald K. Alderson, dean of men.
The bi-weekly meetings of the IFC are attended by the president of the fraternity and one other representative. Only one vote per house is allowed on business transactions.
The IFC has designated the power of disciplining social violators to its judiciary council, formed in 1961.
