Scholarships, Prizes, Student Service, Etc.

The University offers a considerable number of scholarships and other prizes (a) to students of high rank; (b) to the winners in various examinations and contests; (c) to students designated according to certain specified terms. These prizes may be used in payment of tuition fees due after the date of award.

Various forms of University service also are open to students.

Remunerative work is obtained by many students through the Employment Bureau.

For details concerning all these items see the Bulletin of Information, Assistance to Students, which may be obtained on request at the Information Office in Cobb Hall, or by addressing the University.

FRATERNITIES

The Greek letter fraternity system, peculiar to the colleges of the United States, marks its beginning in the organization of the Phi Beta Kappa Society (now honorary) at William and Mary College in 1776. The fraternities are national organizations, having chapters in the various colleges. The object of these societies is primarily social, but their activities include many other phases of college life.

Membership in a fraternity is somewhat restricted; and an invitation to join always originates with the fraternity. If the fraternities desire your fellowship they will seek you. Until then the details of their activities need not be of any interest to you and the less you ask about them or comment upon them, as a newcomer, the wiser you are. While the aims and purposes of these societies at large are similar the local chapters of the several fraternities in a college are almost always found to differ greatly. Some pay more attention to the moral character of their members, others to scholarship, athletics or literary attainments. Others emphasize social graces, wealth or fashion. No man can join a fraternity without being strongly influenced by it. Before accepting an invitation to join any fraternity, therefore, you would be wise to consult professors, alumni and unprejudiced undergraduates in reference to the policy and standing of the local chapter. If not solicited to become a member of any fraternity do not consider yourself neglected and do not become embittered. It is no reproach not to be a fraternity man.
