A Message from. the Grand Basileus

What It Means To Be A "Greee" By DR. DEBOHAH CANNON PARTRIDGE Few of 11s have stopped long enough to really qu .stion "Why arc we 'Greeks'?" And yet this is an important aspect of th' understanding of our historical background. As w view the development of Greek letter organizations in American colleges, we note that the firsl or these, Plii lkta Kappa, founded the same year America gained independence from Great Britain, chose Greek letters for the name of its organization because a knowledge or Greek was the sign of an educated man. No man of high 'r learning in the early 18th and 19th centuries would consider his training complete without a knowledge of Greek. This is highly nndorxtandablc when we recognize that Greek was the lnnguagc of' the New T -stamcnt and Ilcligion was the major reason for higher education in early America clays. For this 011r country was loundcd largely by those who sought religious Fro '<lorn and religious l iborty req uirecl intelligent leadership. Such leaders must lw able to read and interpret the spiritual word. Thus, early in American life the knowledge of Greek became synonymous with "being educated." Much has happened to our American s enc since 1776 when Phi Beta Kappa was organized and great changes have' taken place in higher education. No longer do we> turn to the classical languages to measure a man's lcnrncdncss. However, we have continued to recognize that "knowledge of another language other than the 1110Llwr-to11!-(11C" is important for the truly educated ,\ 1 most every liberal arts college in the United Stales requires some experience in the manipulation of a foreign language. And so, even though Creek may not hole! its original high place in the a aclcmic ladder, ii i, tho symbol of tho well trained and highly educated. Therefore, social and professional organizations continue lo use' Gre ,k letters to identify themselves, But what docs it mean lo he highly educated? What docs it mean to he a "Creek"? Rudyard Kipling came close to answering th.u question in his poem "If", when he s,,icl: .. l f you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue Or walk with Kings-11or lose the common touch." The Irulv educated is one who can med all men, who can he' humhlc among the lowly nor exalted among Kings. I le must learn lo live with himself so that he can Ii, c· comfortably with others. I le must unck-rstaucl the interests, dcsin-s and needs of all and recognize LlH' common factors which all share. l k 11111st give of himself and walk and Lalk with all mankind. This is our d1nlk11ge us "Creeks" - this is our flow well do you measure up lo these stuuclnrdsr' 1\n' you really a "Cn-ck"?

National Pan-Hellenic Council Meets at Hampton Institute By MARGARET R. IRBY Hampton, Va.-The 26th Annual Convention o( the National Pan-Hellenic Council met at Hampton Institute, Va., May 13 and 14, 19,55, with the Peninsular Pan-Hellenic Council as the host council-the theme being, "Mobilizing for Mutual Security." Greetings were extended by \Jr. ILE. Whittaker, General Co~ivention Chairman, and Sorer Geraldine Elliott, Director of the Eastern Hegion. Brother Leonard F. l\ 1 orsc, one of the Founders of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity and Southern Regional Director, led the prayer. The Vice-Chairman of National Pan-Ilcllcnic appointed committees and most of Friday morning wa · spent in committee me .tings. In the afternoon there was a panel discussion on "We View Our Campus Activities" between the UnderCradnatc Program Director, r-. lrs. Hazel Bolan of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority acting as Coordinator, and Heprescntativcs from the Undergraduate Councils. Mrs. Bolan gave a very fine report on her study of th« Campus problems. In May 19.5.5, the President and a faculty committce of Morgan State College voted as of June 7 until February, 19,56, all Fraternities and Sororities were to be eliminated 011 [organ Campus. The reasons given arc brutality; the initiation fees arc too high; hell week Loo long; and many students fail d. to pay their college clues because of the elaborate parties

given during hell week A study was made which showed this prolonged harassing of students affected their scholastic averages. Xavier University was having similar trouble. Mrs. Bolan stated that this is a concern of all Gre eks, as if something isn't done soon we will not have a Pan-Hellenic because we will not have Campus sororities and fraternities. Some solutions lo this problem were: Pan-Hellenic should print a handbook of suggestions for all undergraduate chapters. A committee of representatives of al I sororities and fr a tern i Lies shou lcl b, appointed to work on the handbook. 1 t should contain suggestions on. . (]) Jfosl1i11g Parties-c-Euch sorority and lratcrnity shoulcl extend invitations to all freshmen.

(3) r-cc-Jf ave a standard rec of about $35.00. It was felt that all graduate' chapters should work very closely with tl1c campus chapters. On Friday night, Mr. James C. Evans, Civilian Assistant Lo the Secretary or ational Dcl'onsc, was Lhc keynote speaker at a public meeting. 11 is philosophi~al background along with his technical training gave him a wealth of information to give to the public.

BETA ZETA CELEBRATES ACHIEVEMEN1 DAY 1

Washington, D. C.-Beta Zeta Chapter celebrated Achievement Day at the Willard Ilotcl. Many Zetes and their friends enjoyed a delicious lunch at the flower decked tables. Soror Jennie Gross made the following presentation to the honorees: Zetas have been likened to flowers whose fragrance permeates the surrounding air. They have b en likened to stars whose brill ianc lights the pathway of hope and knowledge. They have been likened also to trees whose branches reach to lofty heights. Today, however, Zetas are being likened to jewels. Webster defines a jewel as a gem that is valued for its beauty, its worth and its perfection; something to cherish, to treat with care and aflcction, Aren't Zetas jewels? Aren't they cherished for their loveliness, their beauty of character? Ar n't they chosen for their worth, their excellence, their merit? Aren't they trained? Don't they m t the highest standards of excellence? Aron ·t they ever striving to reach the pinnacle of p rfection? A Zeta soror is truly a jewel! Today, we honor a few of the jew .ls of special brilliance. One of our sorors, Edith Lyons, carries with her all of the qualities possessed by the most costly of jewels-loveliness, worth and perfection. Became of this, she has b 'en given a plac of responsibility and honor in our Washington Scl ool System - that of Assistant Superintendent in charge of Elementary Schools. In this capacity her brilliancy can emanate to each public school boy and girl. Soror Lyons, the brilliance of a rare jew I never fades. Congratulations! To our Basileus, Soror Josephine Smith, come congratulations, too. Your new position as Director of Administration in the Elementary Schools places you in a position of honor and responsibility also. (And may J take the libertv to add for Soror Lyons this statement: "The beauty ;,f one jewel is often enhanced by the light and brilliance of another.") Congratulations, Sorer Smith! Sometimes, many expert hands must handle a jewel to determine its true value or worth. Iter careful examination this jewel stands out among th rest for its beauty and perfection. Such a jewel is Soror Mary Heid, who at the Vlouroo Laboratory School trained many excellent teachers, and whom we honor today for her leadership and direction as principal of the Thomas School. To Soror Heid, our Congratulations! To all the honorees \\ hose achievements are in the field of education, the song to the tune· of "Marching Along" is cl eel icntecl. Another soror Sarah '-<•wton, i11 quest of more knowledge. great<>r skill. /111tlw1 training, Iorr vcr see], i11g highc-1 standards of c•,c<•l lencc, has chosen to carry the light of her jewel to Iorcigu shores this summer.

No. 991, Starke, Fla., or Christian, 605 Fourth Avenue ., Birmingham, Ala., on or by September 1st. The Blue Hevue chairmen are planning to make a gigantic scrapbook for the 35th Anniversary Boule session at Washington, D. C. We want this to be a colorfu 1 part of the exhibit during our meeting at the National Capital. We plan to award citations and prizes to the chapters that have had the most Blue Revue programs and the 011es that were most unique. Please send us these programs and information right away. H you have notices 011 your performances, magazine clippings, pictures of your cover girls, sepia ladies, queens of Blue Revue send them today. We want to make the Blue llevue program top Jabberwock, Ouequcpades, Fashio: etta and any other Greek letter fund-raising program. We cannot do this if we do not receive cooperation from all Regions. I am asking Soror Evelyn Hunt, dynamic chairman of Regional Directors, to ask all of her directors to encourage response to this request. You may not have written this office for information, but you can furnish us with some valuable help for other chapters if you will share your programs with this office. The secret of your success in the program will still remain with you. o two chapters can promote a Blue Revue of the same type with the same degree of success. This is milestone year in the life of Zetadom, let's make it the greatest Boule ever. Your Blue Revue program can sponsor a large delegation. We would like to see graduate chapters sponsor undergraduates in Blue Revue for a trip lo Washington and their first Boule experience.

I would like for Soror M adgc l Iarpcr to CO\ er for South Carolina and Soror Huth Bales Orr of Tallahassee to CO\C'r [or Florida. This will make up this history committee for the region as of now.

These clobs were the gifts from the Amicae.

National Pan-llellenic Council Meets at Hampton Institute Continued from page 4 moderator; presidents or representatives of National affiliates participated. . Sorer Partridge was dynamic, vivacious and 111spiring as always, and really made all Zetas happy to claim her a their Grand Basileus as she really stole the show. Soror Partridge started out by saying before we can look to the future we must look back at the past to get inspiration to go on in the futur~ .. W' are here at this Pan-Hellenic because of the spirit of cooperation. One grows only in proportion to the fact that one forgets himself. We must determine basic goals. llow can we develop action programs? Greek letter organizations started out as social organizations, but Icgro Creeks started out as service organizations. We do service for all our people, wh ther Greeks or not. Then she asked the question, "What do we envision as our problems of the f uture?" The problems as given by members of the panel are: (1) Integration and implementation on the earnpuses as to integration of sororities and f_raterniti~s .. (2) There is a National Pan-Hellenic Association of America which is white. Our graduates must qualify to be accepted in this organization. What must we do to raise our standard? If we can be accepted, what happens in the process? (3) Ilow can we work so as to enforce our standards so we can be accepted in any organization, Can our campus organizations survive? (4) The National Pan-Hellenic should have been strong enough to do something about the sororities and fraternities being suspended. . (,5) What should be the structure of our ational Pan-Hellenic in this changing society? (6) Consider methods and techniques of translating our program in the Community. . (7) Pan-Hellenic must look into t)1e yrohlem of the undergraduate in planning and thinking through the program. . . . . . (8) Expenditures of large f t~nds for 1111t1at101:. (9) What is the role of National Pan-Ilcllcnic lo colleges? (10) Exclusion of the press. (lJ) Initiation an important factor. (12) Campus chapters are confused. (l,'3) We should find a solution to the initiation problems and say it tog .ther. (14) llow can we influence our undergraduate chapters? Some solutions given were: . . 1. We should communicate more freely with each other so W(' can have definite goals and work together. 2. The graduate chapters should keep closer contact with undergraduate ch. pters on college campuses. We must be conscious of the rules and regulations 011 a college campus .. \Ve must work with the school administration. We must have an agreement with the colleges. 3. The Ikgional Directors of the Sororitios and Fraternities should be the con· to get the news

over to the people.

4. We must strengthen our Pan-I Icllcnic so Wt' can he of more service. \V<• must sec that there

Dr. Nancy 13. Woolridge, Chairman of the Executive Board of Zeta Phi Beta and President of A.C.Il.H., gave a very interesting talk on "Expanding Areas of Cooperation." She said, "We expand when wc lose ourselves in work for others. The same is true of organizations." She introduced Attorney Robinson of the A.C.11.R. who asked, "Llow arc Greeks going to survive in the integration society?" We must relate ourselves t? the responsibility to the commumty-l~)cal and national. The chief problems of this next half century arc: (l) Public School Integration. (2) Slum Clearance. (3) Urban Redevelopment. (4) Employment. (5) Civil Defense. (6) Integration in I1011sing. . . The Officers for 1955-,56 arc: Dr. Ernest J.

On Saturday evening our sorors at Hampton and cwport News gave a very swanky cocktail par~y- at Sorer Marian Cole's home in honor ol the v1s1t111g sorors and brothers.

Knowing that the Future well-being of Christianity depends on what happens to young people today, the Pastor and the Junior \Iissionarics of this church felt there was a need for the vouth to be trained in missionary work. II ad they placed an ad in the newspaper for a leader of such a group. the ad might have read something like this: "Wnntcd-vprogrcssiv ', forwardlooking woman with courage, wisdom, infinite patience, an active mind, an intense desire to understand youth, a love of God and a desire for service." It was not necessary for HS to take such steps however, for Goel had blessed us by placing in our midst 011(' who could meet and even surpass these qualifications. When Dr. Partridge was approached, like a true Christian, slw re adil) consented to organize and direct the Junior Vlissionarics as another part of her busy schedule. We appreciate her as a lt-adr-r because she likes and understands youuu people. Being a young woman herself, it has not ber-n too long since she faced problems similar to ours and now working with college students she can help 11s prepare ourselves for what lies directly ahead. \Ve respect her lwcanse shr- is prepared and ('\· perir-ucocl. \Ve J..110\\ that slH' i\ a capable leader nncl that she has alrcudy participated in the work she is bringi 11g to us. PAGE T\VE:\'T\-TWO

She has a sense of humor which appeals to us. What young person doesn't like to laugh, play games and generally have a good time? As our Lord drew crowds to Him through the power of his _PNsonnlity, Dr. Partridge with her dynamic personal ity has been able to attract and hold our interest. Years ago a mother found her little girl pressing open the first bcnutifu] rosebuds of summer. IJ r mother asked her what she was doing. The child lifted an cager face and with happiness in her eyes replied, "Oh, I'm lwlping God bloom his roses." A woman such as Dr. Partridge', who is spending her life in sacrifice and service for others is "IIc,Jping Goel bloom IT is roses," and we J II nior \1 issionaric•s feel proud and fortunate lo he working i11 fl is garden with her.
