Alpha Tau Omega was founded in the city of Richmond, Virginia, September II, 1865, by a recent graduate and two sen- iors of the Virginia Military Institute, where, consequently, the mother chapter was placed. A Until 1881, the growth of the fraternity was T A confined to the South, but since April of that year charters have been granted to many colleges in the North and West. Of the seventy chapters instituted by the society forty-three are in active BADGE OF ALPHA TAU OMEGA. operation.

nology, Millsaps, Bucknell, Nebraska, William-Jewell, Brown, Rich- mond, and Missouri. Thirty-one of the forty-seven active chap- ters are in Southern colleges. The latest catalogue was published in 1897, but as it contains no biographical notes there is difficulty in ascertaining who of the 3,000 members have become distin- guished. Perhaps Leon G. Tyler, President of William and Mary College, is as prominent as any. Maroon, peacock-blue, and old- gold are the colors, and the lily-of-the-valley is the fraternity flower. The Alpha-Zeta (Michigan) Chapter was instituted February 23, 1892, and is the fifty-first in age of the branches of Kappa Sigma. Until the present college year it was exclusively a law-school society at Ann Arbor, although elsewhere the fraternity is chiefly academic in character. Of the ninety-one members all but ten have been connected with the law department. The chapter holds a lease of the house 914 Hill street. Following is the Michigan roll:

Initiations have been made among the matriculates of the col- legiate department of our University by twenty-one different fraternities, all of which originated elsewhere than at Michigan. Six of these societies, Delta Phi, Kappa Phi Lambda, Phi Alpha, Chi Phi, Phi Gamma Delta, and Alpha Tau Omega, are not now represented here by chapters; and four of the others have not lived uninterruptedly in Michigan. The aggregate membership of . the twenty-one fraternities is 3544, divided thus: Alphi Delta Phi, 413; Psi Upsilon, 378; Delta Kappa Epsilon, 352; Chi Psi, 292; Beta Theta Pi, 289; Zeta Psi, 244; Sigma Chi, 226; Sigma Phi, 216; Delta Upsilon, 176; Phi Kappa Psi, 161; Delta Tau Delta, 155; Phi Delta Theta, 121; Delta Phi, 104; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 99; Kappa Sigma, 91; Phi Gamma Delta, 75; Theta Delta Chi, 61; Alpha Tau Omega, 49; Kappa Phi Lambda, 21 (six of whom be- long to other societies); Chi Phi, 14; and Phi Alpha, 13.
Death has sadly broken the ranks of the older fraternities. Chi Psi has lost 73 of its 292 men, Alpha Delta Phi has lost 70 out of 413 members, and from the 352 men of D. K. E. 64 have departed. As regards number of living members Psi Upsilon stands first with 344, Alpha Delta Phi second with 343, and Delta

ACADEMIC FRATERNITIES
Kappa Epsilon third with 288. Of the 3544 members of the Michigan branches of the regular collegiate fraternities, 435, nearly an eighth, have died.
In the early days of the University several medical students were admitted by each of the three fraternities then at Ann Arbor, but Alpha Delta Phi soon adopted the rule of confining itself strictly to the literary department. Chi Psi, however, never has recognized any limitation in this respect, and during its long career has initiated 49 professional-school undergraduates. Zeta Psi at several periods in its existence has drawn somewhat heavily from the non-collegiate schools, as is shown the by fact that 36 ma- triculates of the latter now appear upon its rolls. Twenty of the 104 members of the defunct chapter of Delta Phi were law or medical students. Sigma Phi has admitted fifteen professional- school men, apparently for a special reason in each case. Three pharmacy students and one medical student are carried upon the long roll of Delta Kappa Epsilon; and among the 378 members of Psi Upsilon are three medical matriculates-brothers or nephews of other members -and one student in pharmacy who was initiated thirty years ago. Most of the fraternities of Western origin gained footholds at Ann Arbor through the law department, from which they ceased to draw members when the necessity therefor had passed. As has been said, Sigma Chi was strictly a law-school society for seventeen years, so that of its 226 members only 5 1 were admitted from the literary department. Delta Tau Delta's list of 155 men includes 38 professional-school matriculates. Phi Kappa Psi, originally organized in the law-department, has sixteen non-collegiate initiates. Beta Theta Pi has seven, Phi Delta Theta thirteen, Sigma Alpha Epsilon 24, Alpha Tau Omega 25, and Phi Gamma Delta 26. All but three of Kappa Sigma's 91 members were taken from the professional-schools, which have furnished to the fraternities 572 members.
Of the 2,618 members of the fraternities in the literary classes from '45 to '97 there have been graduated 1,392, nearly half of whom-to be exact, 653-belong to one or another of three socie- ties, Alpha Delta Phi, Psi Upsilon, and Delta Kappa Epsilon, the respective figures being 237, 220, and 196. Beta Theta Pi has 131, Delta Upsilon 100, Chi Psi 85, Zeta Psi 82, Sigma Phi 82, Delta Tau Delta 55, Phi Kappa Psi 58, Phi Delta Theta 45, Phi Gamma Delta 26, Delta Phi 20, Theta Delta Chi 20, Sigma Alpha Epsilon 19, all others 16. Psi Upsilon has the largest number of living collegiate graduates.

THE MICHIGAN BOOK
The 265 fraternity men in the present undergraduate literary classes are divided thus: Psi Upsilon 34, Alpha Delta Phi 28, Sigma Chi 23, Zeta Psi 21, Beta Theta Pi 21, Phi Delta Theta 21, Phi Kappa Psi 21, Delta Upsilon 20, D. K. E. 19, Theta Delta Chi 16, Sigma Phi 15, Sigma Alpha Epsilon II, Chi Psi Io, Delta Tau Delta 3; Kappa Sigma 3. Compared with the figures of twenty-five years ago Chi Psi shows a decrease of one, and D. K. E. a loss of five, while Alpha Delta Phi has gained three, Sigma Phi three, Zeta Psi ten, and Psi Upsilon six.
Fifty years ago two-thirds of the students were members of secret socie- ties. In 1859-60 those organizations claimed 149 of the 234 undergraduates- nearly two-thirds. Only 125 of the 349 academic students belonged to frater- nities in the year 1869-70, and although the close of the ensuing decade showed a slight increase, yet at the present ARMS OF BETA THETA PI. writing only 265 out of nearly four times that number of literary and engineering students are con- nected with societies. The proportion of fraternity men has de- clined in forty years from two-thirds to one-quarter. A similar decrease appears in the proportion of fraternity men in the grad- uated classes. Of the eleven men who received diplomas with the class of '45 six are on the rolls of the secret societies; but of the 155 graduated with '97 only 30-less than one-fifth-were mem- bers of fraternities. Among the 145 men graduated in the first ten classes, '45 to '54, there were 83 Greek-letter initiates, 57 per cent. of all, and of the 353 graduates in the classes from '55 to '64 there were 212 society men, or 60 per cent. of the entire list. The fra- ternities claim 573 of the 1, 267 male graduates from 1865 to 1884, about 45 per cent .; and the 513 Greek-letter initiates graduated 1885-97 constitute only 34 per cent. of the 1,489 men who re- ceived diplomas. Of the 3,255 male graduates of the literary department, 1,392, or 42 per cent., are members of the fraternity chapters here located. To the number of Greek-letter academic graduates should be added eight men who belong to fraternities
