DIRECTORY OF COLLEGES AND
CHAPTERS
THE name of the college[1] or other institution is first given, then its location and the date of its opening, and the religious denomination under the auspices of which it is administered, when known. Within the last few years many of the denominational colleges have become non-sectarian. As a matter of fact most of them have been practically so long prior to such formal action.
Then follows a list of fraternity chapters arranged in substantially the following order: First, the men's fraternities, listed where practicable, in order of their original establishment; then the women's fraternities, similarly arranged; and finally, the professional and then honorary societies.
Where a chapter or society owns a house its estimated value is given in parentheses.
Societies not belonging to the fraternity system, but bearing Greek names, are omitted and societies belonging to the fraternity system and not bearing Greek names are usually omitted unless their classification is certain.
Corrections of the order in which the chapters should be listed and of other data are solicited.
- ↑ Many colleges are seldom called by their correct names, "The College of New Jersey" was universally called "Princeton", until finally the colloquial designation was made the official one. The Alabama Polytechnic Institute is usually called "Auburn"; the University of the South, "Sewanee"; Iowa State Colleges "Ames" to distinguish it from Iowa State University at Iowa City; "Columbia" means the University of Missouri in the West on account of its location at Columbia, Mo., and "Madison" means the University of Wisconsin.
