Excerpt from The Kappa Alpha Theta, Vol. 8: October, 1893
From this brief outline we are able to judge how widespread is this system of ours. It has become one of the most potent fac tors in American college life. It is now a firmly established institution, and is attracting attention in all educational circles. Throughout its history the system has had both friends and foes, and it still possesses both merits and defects. In the century which has passed since the establishment of the first chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, many improvements have been made. There has, in fact, been a constant evolution in the general plan, scope, and organization of the fraternity idea. Out of the few original bands of students of congenial minds scattered here and there with little or no organization, with each chapter independent almost to a state of anarchy, with almost no knowledge of the condition and workings of sister chapters, have developed a series of fraternities with truly formidable organizations, with central ized governments, the individual chapters of which are in close and constant touch with one another. Many of the fraternities have become incorporated bodies, and the legal status of the sys tem has now become fully recognized.
