There are two basic .questions you should have in mind at tliis time. First, should I join a fraternity; second, what should I look for in a fraternity? Unfortunately, Rush Week is often a period of confusion to the prospective fraternity man, and his decision is too often based on the emotions of the moment rather than a true evaluation of the situation. Regarding the former question, I can only tell you that this has to be a personal decision. In fairness to yourself, you should e.xamine the advan tages and disadvantages of the Greek system before deciding. We would he more than happy to give you our point-of-view, e.xi)laining what being a Greek has meant to us, but remember, that in the final analysis, it is your decision alone. It is the purpose of this paper to aid you in answering the second question. We are primarily interestetl in making suggestions to you as to what to look for in a fraternity — and in i)articuiar what you Founded at Jefferson College in 1848, Phi Gamma Delta, which is constantly ranked in the top three of all national fraternities, commands a position of great respect and im portance as one of the oldest Greek social fraternities.

The ineinbers of Gamma living membership of over 50,000. The success of the fraternity of Deuteron of Phi Gamma Delta share common goals and aspirations. Phi Gamma Delta cannot be attribu ted to any one feature but is a com As you can see by reading this paper, we feel that a fraternity should make a significant contribution to the Kno.x campus and the Galesburg community. We are proud of our campus leaders, and we thrive on the strength of the varied interests and abilities of our members. In addition, our chapter is internally strong. Gamma Deuteron has been able to establish and maintain a well-rounded chapter, consisting of active members with varied personalities. Because of the variety of interests among the members, the brothers of this chapter have had a mutual resiiect for each other which is unparalleled on this or any other college campus. We of Phi Gamma Delta, take great pride in our chapter, and ask only that you look at our record and make your decision with this in mind. We hope that you will meet the members of our chapter and will read this newspaper carefully and critically. Consider your own ideals in relation to the ideals of this fraternity, and, above all, make your decision a personal one. Yours is the choice — ours is only tcj aid you in making it objectively, and to e.xtend our best wishes for a pleasant and prosperous four years at Kno.x. Sincerely, GEORGE B.

FIJI Page Three Benefits of Fraternity Living As any incoming freshman often may compare the advantages of fra ternity living and dormitory resi dence, Phi Gamma Delta wishes to illustrate the advantages it has en joyed in the Greek system at Knox. The fraternity house offers, we feel, a comparative privacy in living quarters that cannot be found in campus housing, as, naturally, the College must direct its attention at housing a great number of students while maintaining a standard of effi ciency in space and cost. As the fra ternities are intended to house only about 30 members, studying and privacy can be more easily achieved. Also, according to the College regu lations, the Knox fraternities can be opened to Knox women guests, under supervised conditions,, three times during the academic year. This al lows the fraternity members a cer tain freedom as well as certain rare and welcome privacy with their dates which is not equally attainable in dormitory situations. Naturally, with social privileges there are social re sponsibilities, and at Phi Gamma Delta we attempt to accept these re sponsibilities in the proper frame of mind. FINANCES If you have considered living in a fraternity house, you must be curious as to the comparative cost of the fraternity and the school. It may come as a surprise to you that the cost of living in the FIJI house is $45.00 less than it is in school housing, EVEN AFTER dues are paid.
