Privilege Of Initiation Abol-
ished by Faculty Two
Years Ago-Only l5s Out
of 7O) Students Favor
Return to Fraternities.

at merely shows what we have known
all along, that the girls at Barnard
College do not want scrorities. ms
was the answer of Miss Freda Kirch-
wey, rs, daughter of DR.. George w.
Kirchwey, former dean of the la"
school of Columbia University, when
she was asked the significance OF the
vote of the students of Barnard Col
lege in which only 1b9 girls OF the
entire student body of 700 voted IN
favor of the return of the privilege of
being allowed to be initiated into
soroTities at Barnard. This privilege
was abolished by the faculty two years
ago.
Miss Kirchwey led the "barbarians'
in the attack on sororities two years
ago. SO effective was the crusade that
The faculty forbade these organizations
10 initiate any new members Tor the
period of three years.
The faculty gave as their reasons
that the sororties av Barnard were
undemocratic, tending to cause some
friction between the poorer and the
more we'll to do girls, as well as be-
tween the sorority girls and the bar
barians." and that the membership in
a sorority lowered the grade of sthol-
arship of that member.
Girls Bar Sororities.
Since that time there has been much
agitation on the part of the sorority
girls to have the faculty give them per-
mission 20 initiate new members before
the expiration of the three-year term.
If they are not permitted to do this
the chapters Of eight national sorori-
ties will automatically pass out Of ex-
istencc. The only sorority girls at
Barnard now are members of the senior
class, with the exception of two or
three who have come from other in
stitutions.
These girls, as a last chance to have
the life of their chapters insured, petit
toned the faculty TO permit them TO
ascertain the student sentiment OF the
matter by casting a vote for or against
the return of sororities. In the vote
cast the most marked opposition came
from the junior class. They stood al
most four to one against the PROPOSE
ton. The members of the senior class,
being the least opposed to the return
New-York tribune., 1915-03-14

of the sororities. were divided almost
even on the issue.
"The vote was called for by the
senior members of the soririties in
their death agony" said Miss Kirchwey,
"and the faculty and student council,
in order to show them the true sltua-
ton. allowed the vote TO be taken.
"Fraternites and sororities are
wrong basicly. They are undemocratic
and foolshly secret and exclusive. Is
pecially is this true at Barnard, a
school that is entirely different from
any other girls school in the United
States. There is 10 reason under
heaven why they should stay here. 1t
is merely caste system. They pro-
vide for certain social functions, and
that is all. They do the college no
good. ! can only think of one school
where they may be all right and worth
while.
AT Syracuse the girls do not live
in dormitories, but in various boarding
houses ali through the city. The girls
have no common meeting place. There
the sorority house furnishes them
places where they can meet and lead
some kind of social life. But as
soon as Syracuse builds dormitories
they will have no more excuse to allow
sororit!es to continue.
Juniors Against Chapters.
"While all Of the girls did not vote
on the question ! am sure that all OF
the girls who wanted the sororities re-
turned voted f.- them. The members
of the Junior class voted more strongly
against the return of the sororities
than did any other class, because they
are more conversant with the true
state of affairs concerning sororities.
No significance is to be attached TO the
vote of the seniors, as 80 per cent of
the votes cast in favor of the PROPOSE
ton were cast by members of sorori-
ties.
"The faculty wrong i taking the
question in their han t yars ago.
They should La lcf the matter with
the students TO decide for themselves.
been kut out for pod two years a }.
Sororities are on their last legs now
and will not get back in Barnard. The
stu dents at Irnard are very little in
terested in he NJ. ter their return
and never think of them It all -cept
when the senior members make one at
tempt aft,r another TO save their chap
ters. There will be no sororities here
two years from now"
Last year Miss 7.irchwey was voted
TO be ''the best looking, the girl who
had done the most for Barnard, the
most popular, the most famous in the
future and the mos. militant"
