Tour of International Fraternity Headquarters and Museum
The Second Fifty Years (1899-1948)
During this time, the Fraternity as we recognize it today began to take shape. A professional administrative staff was established, the Fraternity expanded to Canada, and traditions such as the Pig Dinner and our awards program were established. However, future problems can trace their roots back to this period with the adoption of pledge periods and membership restrictions based on race and religion.
