MEMBERSHIP.


Elections to- Sigma Xi, the honorary
scientific society at the university, were
announced this morning and twenty
four senior students and six university
instructors are receiving the congratu-
latlons OF their friends. Not frater-
nifty NJ man or sorority girl received
election to the society, and following
as 1t does on the recent Phi Beta Kap-
pa election, in which the Greeks did
NOT nave representative, this fact
has revived campus discussion Of anti
fraternity prejudice.

The election to- Sigma XII is CON
Quoted on lines similar to the choice
to Phi Beta Kappa Faculty members
make rec concentrations from their de-
partments and the society acts on the
recommendations. The university
standing of the. candidates is ascer-
tanned, but there is no attempt to
choose the candidates on direct sehol-
arship basis, and it is alleged by mem
bers of the fraternities that many of
their number would be eligible both
to Phi Beta Kappa and to Sigma XII
on scholarship basis.
Members of Sigma XII and Phi Beta
Kappa state that the fact that no fra
ternitY members have been chosen this
year, while the Greeks have had cred
liable representations in the past, is
no indication that the members of the
faculty are hostile to fraternities, and
they point to the fact that many OF
the faculty members Of the two honor
airy societies are fraternity men.
