This We Believe
Fraternity
Fraternity is a social experience based on the fundamental right of a free people to form voluntary associations. It is one of the enrichments of college life.
Mutual Choice
The young woman who wants fraternity experience will find it possible to belong on most campuses today. Fraternity membership is a social experience arrived at by mutual choice and selection. Fraternity membership is by invitation.
Fraternities Exist Because They:
* Provide a good democratic social experience.
* Give value beyond college years.
* Create, through their ideals, an ever-widening circle of service beyond the membership.
* Develop the individual's potential through leadership opportunities and group effort.
* Fill the need of belonging.
Fraternities Continue Because:
Young women feel a continuing need to belong. Parents appreciate fraternity values and standards and cooperate to make membership possible. College administrations, recognizing the values of fraternities, continue to welcome them on their campuses and to invite them to establish new chapters.
