GREEK LETTER FRATERNITIES.
The writer of the succeeding arti
cle lays no claim to originality. He
has rather compiled from good and
worthy souroes the opinions and sen
timents of some of America’s most
honored sons upon this, of late, much
debated topic. While lie is confident
that there are many that will disagree
with him in the views here taken,
yet lie has the courage to submit the
article for publication to he judged
by- a just and unbiassed public.
What is a Greek-letter Fraternity?
Tin* Greek-letter Fraternity of Amer
ican colleges is an institution peculiar
to itself, and differs materially' from
all other secret organizations. In its
secrecy and principle of friendship
it very much resembles the Ma
sons, but its members join at a time
when the mind is impulsive, when
the heart is open to form friendships,
and when acquaintance with the
world has not created suspicion or
selfishness. No friendship is so strong
or enduring as that of college men,
and the college fraternity, binding its
members by such ties, attaius or ap
proaches an ideal of love which no
other body of men ever attains. It is
a union of men of like purposes and
ambitions bound together for mutual
benefit by cords of sympathy and
eternal affection. The college frater-
ty is to those who belong to it sec
ond only to the college itself. A
tiiiue our effort* for the success of the oollege is inpomplete without them,

about live percent of the farms in the

and they are valued at about $5 per

idor their abandonment, the chief ones
being that the owners have died and
non-residents are now tlie proprietors;
that the laud is naturally poor and
not worth reclaiming, and the rapid

Although for many years past, that
any benefit results from college fra
ternities has been a question of con
siderable debate, yet the opposition
to them is steadily decreasing, and
arguments in their favor are growing
stronger.
The basis common to nhnost every
Greek-letter Fraternity is this, name
ly, fellows of kindred tnstes, purposes
and ambitious united together in se
cret bonds for mntnnl advantages in
all lines which pertain to college life.
Membership is valuable chiefly as it '
affords association with selectcd char
acters at college. By raising the tone
of men’s thoughts, by promoting love
fonnen, by linking the bonds of man’s
love for man, these societies do a work
of priceless value. They gather to
gether the brightest and best spirits
of our college men, and in their cir
cles we find represented the flower of
American youth. As in tbe days of
yore, the Greeks, though few iu num
ber, dominated tlie whole world, so
to-day, our Hellenic brotherhood is
making for itself a fame that spreads
throughout all phases of oor country's
history. A Greek occupies the Pres
idential chair, and one half the Pres
Ident’s Cabinet take pride in tlieir
badges of college fraternities; all
through the country, iu politics, in
press, and in pulpits, we find our
brothers. Verily, to-day the Greeks
rule our laud.
Greek orders aro brotherhoods in
the strictest sense; in tlieir precincts
the voice of friendship is heard. Tlieir
influence is elevating, and their pur
pose is to confer the greatest possi
ble good upon their membership—loy
alty, gentlemanly dignity, and all the
amenities ol life are festered. College
instruction may make the student n
man of erudition, give degrees and
honors, still he may bo unchanged at
heart, But the Greek fraternities
make him a noble, unselfish man, a
prudent frieud, a devoted brother,
and implant within his breast a rea
sonable desire and unflagging zeal for
the welfare of his fellow-men. The
true Greek is forbearing; he refrains
from unkiiuluesB iu word, deed anil
thought; the mantle of his charity
coversliisbrothers’ frailties; his broth
ers’ victories are his victories; each j
triumph won, the common fame of
his beloved Fraternity.
The initiation of the average fresh
man into a fraternity marks for him
the beginning of a new life; it is for
him a new home, where character is
formed, education encouraged, and
those Christian principles are instill
ed, which last through time and eter
nity. There, friends staud ever ready
to defend his character and help bear
his burdens. It is impossible for a
true Greek to be excessively selfish,
so repugnant to selfishness are the
teachings and views of true Helle
nism.
Tiie Greek-letter Fraternity ad
vances and protects the individual
member, inculcates morality, truth
fulness, and a high standing of friend
ship. It secures that which rnaDy
other organizations Jail iu—loyalty
and faithfulness amoug the brothers
that compose them, gives a sympa
thy of character denied to the “Bar
barian," stigmatizes excesses of all
kinds, opposes bigotry and narrow
mindedness, and stimulates the moral
and intellectual part of man. It di
rects its members to a higher and no
blsr life, endeavoring to illustrate by
