Overview

Excerpt from The Sigma Phi Epsilon Journal, Vol. 8: March 1, 1911 Statistics compiled at the office of the Dean of the house division at California show the scholarship standard of the fraternities to be below the standard of house club organizations, which in turn are excelled by a general standard set by men not affiliated with any organization. To suggest a method of improving this, the Dean has called a meeting of representatives from the different fraternities and clubs and a scheme was submitted of printing the names of the ten highest organizations, thus making a certain incentive for which the different chapters might strive. The freshmen with such an ideal in mind can surely support their chapter in the struggle for a place among the first ten. Greater interest in the welfare of the freshman student cannot be evinced with more enthusiasm than at California. The advisory system is so organized as to allow a faculty member to single out a man at a moment's notice, become acquainted with his surroundings and record and suggest means for his improvement without delay. The President of the University has as far as possible come into personal touch with each man, has presided at meetings of the first year class and has demonstrated to them, the democratic spirit and tendencies which permeate the whole University organization. The same spirit reflects in the chapter house and has resulted in the past and will result in the future, in the creation of fraternity men with ideals, of which the chapter alumni might well be proud.
