THE SCROLL. 317A K K, a medical fraternity founded at Dartmouth, 1888,now has 24 chapters. It has three chapters in Nashville—inthe medical departments of the Uni.versity of Nashville, theUniversity of Tennessee, and Vanderbilt University.Fraternities are rushing into Georgia Tech. X * and* K 2 have entered this year. A member of the faculty anda student, who are members of 0 A X, are coaching a localsociety for their fraternity. II K A is reported to be tryingto obtain a foothold.There are 102 cities and towns with seven or more residentKappa Alphas, the requisite number for an alumni chapter.In these towns are 1,973 Kappa Alphas, of whom 225 areJournal subscribers. It ma}' be noted that we have only 29alumni chapters, while we should have 102.—K A Journal.On authority of a paragraph in a Columbus paper. THESCROLL stated that the recent convention of A Y granted a'charter to a local society at Ohio State University. Thisstatement was erroneous. A Y has not yet granted applicationsit has received from O. S. U. and the University ofIllinois.Verner M. Jones, of Nashville, once editor of the K AJournal, has resumed his connection with it, as associateeditor. He wields a vigorous and sometimes trenchant pen,as editors of other fraternity journals will probably soon discover,if our surmise is correct, that he is to write up exchangesand Greek news.The chapter of II K A at Tulane, dormant since 1881, hasbeen revived, making eleven chapters there. n K A hastwentv chapters, and is more exclusivly southern than evenSouthern Iv A, which has some western and Pacific coastchapters. None of the chapters of II K .V is north of thePotomac or west of the Mississippi.The first Greek- fraternity of colored students has beenorganized at Indiana University. The name of A K M hasbeen adopted. The total membership is ten, which includesall the colored people attending the university. A constitutionwas adopted and chapters will be established in all theleading negro colleges. It is expected to make Wilberforce,Ohio, the second chapter. A badge is now being designed.—2 A E Record.
