A FRATERNITY TROUBLE.
Alumni of the Stanford Chapter
of Phi Gamma Delta :
Abiicate.
They Ask the National Society TO
Expel Them With the Active
Chapter.

BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 29.-The. Phi
Gamma Delta fraternity was thrust into
prominence again. to-day, Information
was received from stanford University
that the alumni of that chapter, which
abdicated from the National fraternity a
few weeks ago, have taken up the cause of
the dissenters and asked the National
Chapter. now in session, that they be also
expelled from the order. This action on
the part of the alumni of the Stanford
Chapter is looked upon in college circles
as direct thrust at the Berkeley Chapter,
because the latter took issue against the
Stanford men in the beginning and asked
that they be expelled because of alleged
dlsIoyalty. The alumni Of the chapter at
Pale Alto because of their move IN. sup
port of the active chapter, were the SUBJ
jects of much criticism to-dayby members
of the other college fraternities in Berke-
ley because of their disposition to disre-
gard the fraternity as whole for the sake,
of the single chapter at Stanford.
The mem Ders OF the order at Berkeley
when seen to-day refused TO make any
statement regarding the action of the
Stanford alumni. They took the aggres-
sive in the fight, and having carried Ih cir
point they are now assuming dignified
iurther regarding the affair, unless an ex-
presslon of opinion is demanded by some
overt act on the part of the Palo Alto
men.
Just as soon as the active chapter at
Stanford has been expelled the mem bers
will be free to join another similar order
but the alumni who 60 out with them
will according to the customs of 'frats"
be ostracized forever from such organlza-
tions.
1t is understood that the Stanford chap
ter expects to receive a charter from the
Phi Kappa Psi fraternity Immediately
upon being expelled from the Phi Gamma
Delta.
