BRAUER President Treasurer Recording Secretary MARK W. REARDON JOHN F. GARMAN ROBERT M. LINDSAY, JR. Corresponding Secretary Historian Purple Legionnaire Dear Rushee; In the next few days, you will make a decision concerning participation in fraternities that will nateonly affect your remaining years at Knox, but will more than likely be an influential factor in your life, whether it be in the acedemic, business, or social worlds. With the understanding that you will not make this decision on the basis of haphazard reflection and deliberation, we here at Phi Gamma Delta hope to acquaint you with the benefits to be derived from joining a fraternity. Certainly any club's special interest groups or fraternal organization's first and mast important obligation is to satisfy the needs and desires of it's members. Obviously, there is more to this, in the case of fraternities, than providing for a place to sleep. What fraternities are actually about is the building of men of strong character; men who are honest, generous, open minded, hard working, and morally responsible. This is done by becoming intimately associated with men who have something more to offer than friendship, we term brotherhood. Certainly any institution of higher learning is likewise committed to these goals for both men and women, but those of us in fraternities believe that the close personal relationships that developethrough brotherhood better aid individual men in solving problems on the way to these goals than can the rigors of academic pursuits alone. Certainly close friends in dormitories may develop something like this feeling of brotherhood but without the reassuring feeling of permanence and purpose of a strong fraternity these feelings can fadeaaddgmay ultimately be served after graduation. Fraternities facilitate the maintenance of these ties by providing for a common, always open meeting place for alumni and by being a place to which old "brothers" can point to with a sense of mutual accomplishment. It We at Phi Gamma Delta think we fulfill this goal as well as any other fraternity, along with such important secondary goals thaa naturally follow after the serious pursuit of the first as community service and intellectual accomplishment. It is for you to decide whether we are the type of people who can help you toward becoming a better man. Come see us and feel free to ask questions. I personally will do my best to answer any questions or hear any argument relevant to the fraternity system that you may have. Good Luck Sincerely, Thomas W.
