reputable fraternities the high
class fraternities. however, have
kept the rest from being destroyed
by order OF faculties. Their infiu-
ence has shown fraternities should
be supervised by the college author
tiles. The result has been a much
higher plane .ahong all fraternities.
Scholarship is again one OF the
highest points of consideration. In
some OF the universities men are not
allowed to join fraternities unless
their grade Of scholarship is high.
BY admitting only the best men
they can become still better stu
