336 THE SCROLL.At Virginia Military Institute only two fraternities arerepresented, K A and 2 A E. We understand that anotheris to enter next year.—2 N Delta. If this is true the chaptersmust be sub rosa for they are not mentioned in the K AJournal or the 2 A E Record. We believe that anti-fraternityregulations are still in force at V. M. I.The first annual banquet of Bartholomew county Greekswas held at Hammond's cafe, Columbus, Ind., December 27,the number present being as follows: A 0, 7; 2 X, K 2and A T A 4 each; * T A, 2; A K E and 2 A B i each. Hon.H. T. Miller, lieutenant-governor of Indiana, ex-editor ofTHE SCROLL and past P. G. C, was toastmaster.n K A has revived its chapter at Southern University andestablished a chapter at Missouri School of Mines. It isgrowing rapidly and now has 31 chapters. .\ writer in theShield and Diamond calls it 'the only fraternity in the south,"as it is the only fraternity confined to the south. He urgesthe formation of ' a fifty club," to make the number of chapters50 by the time of the next convention in 1907.Four of our seven fraternities, namely K 2, "I* A 0, 2 A Eand 0 H, have organized themselves into "the Areopagus,"the purpose of which is to establish a better interfraternityand social spirit among the different fraternity men. AsB 0 n, 2 X and 2 N have not seen fit to join, the organizationhas done nothing in regard to rushing and pledging.—Washington (St. Louis) correspondence of K 2 Caduceus.K A (southern) re-established here about a year and a halfago, is building a fine chapter house across the street fromus. It will accommodate about twenty-five men.—Stanfordcorrespondence of Beta Theta Pi. The K A Journal saysthe new house at Stanford will be "the finest fraternity houseon the Pacific coast." This displays wonderful enterprisefor a young chapter far removed from all other chapters ofits fraternity, except the chapter at the University of California.The first page of the New York World almanac for 1906relates to college fraternities. It contains a table giving foreach general fraternity for men its name, place and year offoundation, total membership, number of active chapters,number of inactive chapters, number of chapter houses occupied,and the name and address of the national secretary.
