 balance throughout the years, thus gaining an impregnable prestige on                 W
a certain campus, and establishing some scale of rating for that locality.
 But the changing personnel of each year may at any time affect the sta-               A
bility of a chapter and the opinion of those who accurately weigh fra-
ternity values. The highly organized centralized fraternity of today                   ti
tends toward uniformity of purpose and policy everywhere with an elimi-                U
nation of weaknesses in every chapter, but no fraternity is one hundred                le
per cent strong in every particular on every campus where it has a                     gr
chapter, and cannot be rated in first place everywhere, at all times.                  je
                                                                                       du
     As people are coming to understand each other better, i t is most                 ca
gratifying to know that fraternities are more interested in the develop-               L
ment of their own members and possibilities rather than in the futile at-              ye
tempt of establishing a scale of rating for themselves and others. As our              be
members work with those of other fraternities in the many activities                   th
of after college years, they gain a broader feeling of interfraternalism, and          an
often the thoughtful person must face the query in his own mind that                   «l r
membership in any other fraternity might have been as satisfying as in                 W
his own. The true fraternity member never outgrows his own fraternity                  w
but broadens his perspective with his conviction that there is so much                 E
that is fine and good in all of our fraternities that any of us is honored             fu
by membership in any fraternity.
