How is Phi Theta Pi
different from other fraternities?
It is a fact that the younger fraternity through sheer
necessity must be quite progressive, much more so than its older
competitors. The younger fraternity has its growth before,
rather than behind it, and the necessity of expansion into good
fraternity fields is an added incentive for alertness. Time
and experience have proven that the colleges with small student
bodies usually produce the best type of fraternity workers.
Phi Theta Pi comes into her collegiate status at a time when the
fraternity world has come to the conclusion that the smaller college
group is to be preferred as being the greatest advantage to make the
right impression on an individual. In this respect Phi Theta
Pi may be quite different from many of friendly competitors for the only standards are high scholarship and moral
character.
Why should a student
join Phi Theta Pi in preference to another fraternity?
Phi Theta Pi has endeavored to
keep the cost of belonging to a good, forward-going fraternity at a
minimum; in other words, to give the most constructive force to the
life of its members without burdening them with a high financial
overhead. Thus far, it has been very successful and in this
way it may also be quite different from some of the other
orders. With educational economic demands and the lack of
an abundance of ready money, a young students entering college may
well be advised to join his fortunes with Phi Theta Pi and know that
(s)he is going to get a full compensation of fraternalism for a
limited outlay in financial cost. The idea is, a minimum of cost with maximum
opportunity to
take a strategic part in the further building of a brotherhood
already entrenched in the American
colleges.
