Pages : 432
Book Description
Excerpt from History of Alpha Chi Omega Fraternity: 1885-1921 The present volume will be found greatly changed from the 1916 History. The five years between the two volumes have not passed lightly over the fraternity; those years constitute an era of accelerated activity, of preoccupation with world affairs, of abnormal emotional strain, of economic pressure, in short, of war. The fraternity emerges from the period stronger and more earnest in its desire to serve and to ennoble its members. In the pages that follow, the author hopes the readers will find, as in the 1911 and the 1916 editions, useful data in convenient form; a clear narrative of the development of Alpha Chi Omega in its environment in the academic world among contemporary fraternities; information adequate to enable members or casual readers to evaluate the organization properly; and the body of tradition and high standards so dear to all the fraternity's builders in the past. The fraternity's Opportunities never were wider than today, its prob lems never more complex; its need for intelligent, high-minded leaders of wide and true vision has never been more imperative, nor has the interest among its members and their willingness to serve in positions of responsibility ever been more gratifying. The World War perhaps has shown many members their capacity for responsibility, as well as the unparalleled satisfaction that comes from constituting a vital factor in a worth-while cause.

Women of Discriminating Taste
Author: Margaret L. Freeman
Publisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 0820358142
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Women of Discriminating Taste examines the role of historically white sororities in the shaping of white womanhood in the twentieth century. As national women’s organizations, sororities have long held power on college campuses and in American life. Yet the groups also have always been conservative in nature and inherently discriminatory, selecting new members on the basis of social class, religion, race, or physical attractiveness. In the early twentieth century, sororities filled a niche on campuses as they purported to prepare college women for “ladyhood.” Sorority training led members to comport themselves as hyperfeminine, heterosocially inclined, traditionally minded women following a model largely premised on the mythical image of the southern lady. Although many sororities were founded at non-southern schools and also maintained membership strongholds in many non-southern states, the groups adhered to a decidedly southern aesthetic—a modernized version of Lost Cause ideology—in their social training to deploy a conservative agenda. Margaret L. Freeman researched sorority archives, sorority-related materials in student organizations, as well as dean of women’s, student affairs, and president’s office records collections for historical data that show how white southerners repeatedly called upon the image of the southern lady to support southern racial hierarchies. Her research also demonstrates how this image could be easily exported for similar uses in other areas of the United States that shared white southerners’ concerns over changing social demographics and racial discord. By revealing national sororities as significant players in the grassroots conservative movement of the twentieth century, Freeman illuminates the history of contemporary sororities’ difficult campus relationships and their continuing legacy of discriminatory behavior and conservative rhetoric.
