Coverage
"In 1945, at the end of the threat, returning veterans brought with them a mature attitude concerning fraternities and their place in college. A large number of influential men on the campus favored abolishing... Fraternities survived only because this group was able to reach a compromise agreement, an agreement which is the real basis for the present strong movement here to promote racial and religious tolerance in the greek societies."
"Alpha Sigma Phi withdrew from its national because it was restricted from pledging Jewish and Negro men. Phi Kappa Tau, seeking membership in the IFC, was accepted and then tossed out when a restrictive clause was found in its constitution."
