Miscellaneous Fraternity and Sorority Information

Welcome from President Howard R. Bowen Page 4

SOCIAL
A social program is an important element in fraternity living, but by social we mean more than just parties and good times. It means that part of your educaiton which teaches hyou good manners, social graces, and the art of conversation and companionship. All of these are an integral part of every fraternity's program.
It stands to reason that much is to be learned at college outside the all-important books. The recreational, cultural, and social opportunities offered by a fraternity are geared to relieving the pressures of college life by enhancing a person's contact with others. A spring formal, a sorority exchange, a quiet record party at the house, or attendance at a play, concert, lecture, etc., all have a way of breaking up the day-to-day routine and perhaps making it just a little easier to study.
If you're the kind of person who enjoys working hard when it's time to work and playing hard when it's time to play, a fraternity at Iowa is something for you to consider.
Mike Mansfield
"The Larger Community"
Majority Leader, U.S. Senate
Alpha Tau Omega
"When men live and work together in a fraternal association in college they enhance each other's growth and each other's capacity to contribute to the larger fraternities of community, state, nation, and world."

SERVICE
By its very nature a fraternity strives for more than  just the good of its members. Time and effort are spent by fraternities in serving the commuity of Iowa City and the University itself. At the U of I fraternities have accomplished such projects as collecting door-to-door for the Heart Fund, giving parties at the University for handicapped chidlren, and clearning a wooded area for a new city park. 
The chance of living with a group of young men responsible to their comunity and to themselves is acclaimed by many fraternity alumni as truly an education in itself. To be a part of a fraternity is an opportunity you have, if you wish to pursue it.
Norman Vincent Pele
"Highest Idealism"
Pastor, Marble Collegiate Church, New York
Phi Gamma Delta
"The ritual of fraternities, like those of adult fraternal orders, is based on biblical background and the highest idealism and is taught to the brothers at the time and under circumstances of greatest susceptibility. Fraternities have a much deeper purpose than mere socializing."

BROTHERHOOD
The most intangible factor in a fraternity is placed in the general category "brotherhood." In essence this is the culmination of all other fraternity experiences. It is found in the common bond of young men working together on a service project. It's the late-night bull sessions; it's respect for each other's property and beliefs; it's encouragement when you fail and shared happiness when you succeed; it's the fun of a party with your brothers.
Fraternities are based on the premise that more can be accomplished both individually and corporately when men work together. In brotherhood, men share standards which are noble, honorable, and characteristic of true gentlemen. Certainly this is one way of enriching your college experience.
Conrad Hilton
"Human Relations Workshop"
President, Hilton Hotels
Tau Kappa Epsilon
"Success in many fields of human endeavor, particularly business and government, depends on team play and getting along with one's fellow man. I can think of no better workshop in developing a sensitivity in human relationships than fraternity membership during college years."
