TO DRAGMA OF ALPHA OMICRON PI 115

above all should guard well and f a i t h f u l l y the chapter's good name and keep
its membership r o l l filled with men of the highest character and integrity.

I t is i n this way we would have our philosophy of what constitutes a f r a -
ternity chapter understood. I f so understood and acted upon, we feel that i t
would result i n the greatest good f o r all concerned.—A X Quarterly quoted by
Palm of A T 0.

I have a suggestion to make that the next Grand Chapter devise some way

by which the subscription to The Delta may be increased among the alumni.

I think that Phi Delta Theta recently passed a law by which $10 pays sub-

scription f o r life for alumni members.

That may be too cheap, but I do suggest a cheap rate f o r long-time sub-

scriptions, say f o r ten, fifteen or twenty years. Then i f a brother moves, he

w i l l send his f o r w a r d i n g address to the editor and an accurate check on his

whereabouts can be had, which of itself is worth consideration.

This subscribing from year to year, I find hard to do; the time is too

short, the subscription is out before I think i t is, and soon a copy is missed

and paymen; is postponed f r o m time to time, resulting i n loss of interest i n

fraternity matters and a kindred lack of interest in the magazine itself through

conscious guilt of indebtedness.

We have to reach the members through The Delta, and keep interest alive

by constantly bringing them into contact with the fraternity.

The Delta is the one medium through which to maintain this contact, and

a cheaper Delta and long-term subscriptions would, I believe, go f a r toward

keeping alumni an active, working force.

I am not versed on the cost o f producing The Delta, but suggest that

those who are i n a position to do so, f u r n i s h an estimate on-long-term-sub-
