cent meeting of the interfraternity
council, the university Greek letter
men took definite action opposing both
the pledging Of high school students
and the high school fraternity.
School superintendents turnout the
state have declared the practice Of
college fraternities pledsins men still

the morale of the secondary schools.
Letters from high school fraternities
received by Robert Il. Rienow. dean
Of men at the university, led the
dean TO put the matter before the
Iowa students for consideration.
After a careful discussion of the
matter, a regulation passed almost
unanimously forbidding any fratern-
ity to pledge high school man. This
will be vigorously enforced by the
council. Thu council, which is COM
posed Of delegates from all fraterni-
ties on the campus, also Indicated
their willingness to discourage high
school Greeks in every possible way.
The practice of pledging high
school men has never been carried on
to any large extent by university of
Iowa fraternities as whole, but it
has been practiced in number of
cases. When the fraternities learned
of the opposition the plan was meet
ing among school men of the state
