TROUBLES OF a rRArEnNIrY.
Efforts to change Charter Result In
ITS Loss.

A thunderbolt will fall this
morning among the Greek letter
fraternity men of the two big
California universities. There Is
treason at Stanford, and punish
ment swift and sure is melted out
to the offenders.
No longer is there a Lambda
Sigma Chapter Phi Gamma Delta
fraternity in the university that
the Senator built. Instead there
will be eleven men who are again
"barbarians," as they say in col,
lege circles. Last night Delta ri
Chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta
fraternity, located at Berkeley,
and the senior chapter on this
Coast, recommended at solemn
meeting held at the Palace Hotel
that the charter be withdrawn
from the Stanford chapter for
reasonable acts. Circulars to
this effect will be sent to Berkeley
and Stanford To-Day
There is no doubt that Delta
Xi's suggestion will be acted up
on by the mother chapter. The
decision will cause more upheaval
in the exclusive world of college
fraternities than anything that
has happened for years. Nothing
else will be talked of in Berkeley
and P.}o Alto for days, though
the outside world might never
know that a Greek star had
twinkled and gone out.
The cause given for the with
drawal of the charter is treason
able acts" and the story is briefly
this: Some years ago the Berke-
ley Fills" established Stanford
chapter. 1t grew rapidly and was
rivaled only by the Ieta Psis. AT
one time lambda Sigma Chapter
had twenty. five members, but for
the last three years it has de-
,clined steadily. OF late it has
taken remote house at Mayheld,
is in debt some $500, and has on
w eleven members. This year
only one new member was initial
ed. Thinking to bolster up its
weakness, the chapter made over
lures to Alpha Delta Phi, pro-
minent Eastern college fraternity,
asking admission. Alpha Delta
