zAlpha Vi J^eads in (fraternity Examination

By M U R I E L T U R N E R M C K I N N E Y , Examining Officer

FR A T E R N I T Y examination questions were prepared this last year
so that an excellent student would make high marks, the average
would pass, and those unprepared would fail. T h e results were splendid.
As compared w i t h the previous year, four districts raised their aver-
ages, twenty-one chapters raised their averages, and the failures were cut
more than in half. Sixteen chapters were above 90, fifteen between 80
and 90, three between 70 and 80, and as last year there was one failure.
I t seems particularly fitting that the youngest chapter to take the ex-
amination should be the highest. Alpha Pi lead the fraternity with a
chapter average of 98.

The district averages are as follows:

Pfetnet Number of Chapters Failures Average
92.3 %
h Southern 7 0 90.70%
2. Great Lakes 4 2 89.59%
3. Mid-Western 6 1 89.09%
4. Pacific 6 2 85.8 %
5. Ohio Valley 5 4 82.0 %
6. Atlantic 7 15
87.83%
Total National Average

I t is interesting to note, that as was the case last year, the girls who
took the re-examination to make up failures stood much higher than
those who took it to make up for an absence.
