Список братьев и женских колледжей колледжа Вустера
Эта статья требует дополнительных цитат для проверки . ( январь 2021 г. ) |
В этой статье содержится список братьев и клубов колледжа Вустера . Греческие письма организации имели долгую историю в колледже Вустера , начиная с 1871 года, через пять лет после основания школы. Они стали главами национальных братств до их запрета в 1913 году, когда они приспособились к местным главам, иногда называемым «секциями» или «клубами», которые были греческими во всем, кроме имени. Иногда они включали большинство студенческих сообщений, в то время как в настоящее время социальные главы представляют около пятнадцати процентов студентов, причем многие дополнительные студенты были допущены в различные общества почетных.
Социальные, профессиональные и почетные общества перечислены ниже, после короткого исторического резюме.

[ редактировать ]
Пионерские главы национальных братств были созданы в том, что тогда называлось Университетом Вустера , в настоящее время Колледж Вустера в 1871 и 1872 годах, всего через пять лет после создания школы. Первоначально сформировавшиеся как обеденные группы, которые разделяли стоимость и ответственность за питание, начиная с 1870 года, они начали объединяться в систему из почти дюжины братств и женских клубов на рубеже веков. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] В качестве примера эпохи греческой системы Вустера национальное братство Сигма Чи поместило свою бета -главу в Колледже Вустера. [ 3 ]
Для целей данной статьи термины «братство» и «женское женское достоверное состояние» используются несколько взаимозаменяемо, с мужскими и совместными группами, которые всегда используют братство, и женские группы, использующие либо братство, или женское дому. [ 4 ] Для удобства термин «Греческое письмо Общество» является общей заменой. Слово «греческое» в данном случае относится к использованию греческих букв для имени каждого общества, а не для греческой этнической принадлежности.
их членство в братстве Братские связи не были ограничены только что студенты: ранние профессора и администраторы считали . В ежегоднике 1897 года полная половина профессоров и преподавателей перечислила их принадлежность, в том числе доктор Сильвестр Ф. Сковел, третий президент колледжа, и член Бета -Тета Пи , вице -президент колледжа д -р Самуэль Дж. Кирквуд, также член бета -тета Пи и миссис Минн Карртертерс Макдональд, член гамма -женского общества Каппа Каппа . Из 21 преподавателей с биографиями тринадцать были перечислены с греческой принадлежностью. В эту эпоху спонсорство выдающихся местных выпускников или профессоров стало распространенной иской для создания новых глав бакалавриата. [ 5 ] Другие страницы ежегодника, названные членами каждой главы, будут перечислять их отдельно, иногда под латинскими заголовками как «братые в факультате» (факультет) или «братьев в Urbe» (город) для местных выпускников. В одной только ежегодной книге 1897 года Каппа Каппа Гамма перечислила пятнадцать выпускников в местной области Вустера. «Fraters in Universitate» (студенты) были перечислены в классе.
Similar expansion of fraternal groups was sweeping through other Ohio institutions, as old-line Eastern fraternities gazed westward. But about the time Wooster was established a juncture had been reached where a burst of anti-secret society fervor[6] had trimmed somewhat what until then had been full-throated support of such civic groups at both the adult[7] and collegiate level.[8] В эту эпоху все братства были затронуты повышенным анализом. Таким образом, это была философская драка на фоне, когда был создан колледж.
Following the trend at other institutions, and with administrative approval, several of the fraternities at Wooster had bought property and embarked on building their first houses within a decade of formation.[9]
Fraternities were engaged in campus improvement. They aided in the construction of the school's tennis courts in 1888, and in 1890 "contributed in a small way to the construction of wings on Old Main."[10] A crisis for the Wooster Greeks occurred in 1893, where a "large proportion" of the student body left the school, never to return, over a fractious conflict where the faculty wished to deemphasize athletics. This led to the closure of four fraternities due to low manpower.[11] Three of these chapters were re-established within a few years.[9] As early as 1899 faculty and administration began to object to fraternities as "excuses for smoking, drinking, and dancing." Some objection in those early days came on the complaint of non-aligned students, a majority of the campus, who felt they could not get elected to any campus office without belonging to a strong fraternity.[10]
What became an upperclassman dorm, Kenarden Lodge, was built in 1911.[12] Its gabled "Sections" would become, by 1918, the perennial homes of many of the school's Greek chapters.

1913 ban
[edit]A larger, existential crisis for the Wooster Greeks ensued when, in the fall of 1912, the Trustees were lobbied to close its then 40-year old Greek system.

L. H. Severance, then-President of the Board of Trustees and namesake of academic building Severance Hall, was considered to be "an important donor" during his tenure. He was approached to support a building campaign, but rebuffed the attempt. Severance was virulently anti-Greek, and asserted he "would give no more to Wooster while fraternities remained because he was convinced that they [were] inimical to the best interests of the college." The Trustees at the time, on a narrow, contested vote, elected to disband the fraternities as of February 13, 1913; three of the trustees resigned to express their disapproval over the decision. News spread quickly among the chapters that no further initiations were to be allowed from that point. Two sororities organized an overnight ceremony prior to "officially" hearing the news the following morning. One fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega, noted a year later in an edition of The Palm, "[...But,] shortly after the passage of the resolution abolishing fraternities Mr. Severance died. He left no will and had not entered into any legal obligation binding upon his heirs or estate."—Thus in spite of the closure of all campus Greek chapters, no donation from Severance for Wooster's capital campaign was ever received. Some hoped that "the odious ruling" would be rescinded, but that did not occur. The discouraged national chapters devolved into local organizations or disbanded, with the last few national Greek members graduating in 1918.[9][2][13]
Response to the ban
[edit]College yearbooks, called the Wooster Index, now available online, printed multiple pages for each Greek organization from the 1870s through 1914. In the 1915 yearbook these pages abruptly disappeared, with that same edition eulogizing Severance. By 1916 and '17 the only mention of Greeks in the yearbooks were graduating seniors who listed their affiliation. It would be decades before Greek affiliations were once again noted in these books, although many of the now-local chapters survived through this period, continuing to function as fraternities and sororities of sorts, only without letters. Upon moving into Kenarden Lodge in 1918, the groups began to call themselves by numbers, usually in Roman numeral fashion. Soon these groups took on new Greek letters as well. As each fraternity lived in a section of Kenarden, the groups adopted this terminology and began to call themselves Sections. The sororities opted to call themselves Clubs. Thus the transition into local chapters was not immediate, but there was legacy continuity:
National fraternities → Numbered groups → Numbered "Sections" at Kenarden → Adoption of Greek letters, as locals → Expansion beyond Kenarden
At the same time the General, or Social chapters were adjusting to their new names, a number of Honor societies began to appear on campus, the earliest of these tapping their first members in the 1920s.
By the 1940s, each of Kenarden's 7 men's sections had a perennial group of its own, and there were at least 9 sections on campus by the 1950s, as well as several clubs. To cope with this expansion, which according to the Wooster Voice included 99% of men on campus from 1953 to 1957, the college built three new dorms, Armington Hall, which housed sections I-III, Stevenson Hall, which housed sections IV-V, and Bissman Hall, which housed sections VI-VIII. The traditional Section names stuck with each group regardless of their residence. Yearbooks remain the best source to trace whether specific local chapters are the direct descendants of these original national chapters.
While the fraternal impetus continued into the modern era, student organizers experienced occasional waves of suppression bracketed by other times of a more liberal, hands-off approach. There was little anti-Greek pressure during the immediate post-WWII period, where the majority of men were participants. During other times Greek-related information was suppressed, but apparently the de facto Greek nature of the various Sections remained widely known.[14][15]

It is clear that five long-tenured fraternity chapters, at least, had their origin in earlier groups. The fraternity Beta Theta Pi's local Alpha Lambda chapter quickly evolved into a men's local called Beta Kappa Phi in the First (I) Section of Kenarden Lodge in 1914. It was also the first of the sections of Kenarden to wear and affiliate themselves with Greek letters, despite the college's objections. Recently disbanded fraternity, Phi Omega Sigma (1913-2017) drew its members from the original Delta Tau Delta chapter, and re-formed as a local, traditionally the Fourth (VI) Section. Recently disbanded fraternity Phi Delta Sigma (2013-2005) drew its members from the original Phi Delta Theta, also known as the Fifth (V) Section. Phi Sigma Alpha formed in 1916 as the Sixth (VI) Section, but it is unclear whether it had a previous affiliation.[16] Dormant Kappa Chi fraternity (1965-2005) was renamed from an earlier local called Kappa Kappa Kappa,[17] which itself originated in the Beta chapter of Sigma Chi national fraternity. It was known as the Seventh (VII) Section. Dormant Omega Alpha Tau (1976-1995) can also claim roots in Sigma Chi and the Seventh (VII) Section, having split from Kappa Chi.[18]
Three of today's campus sororities can claim their provenance in the earlier chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Local Pi Kappa is the first direct descendant of this group, at one point called Eighth (VIII) Section, but more commonly a Club. In 1943 the founders of Epsilon Kappa Omicron broke away from Pi Kappa to form their own sorority. Finally, six Pi Kappa pledges broke away in 1983 to form Alpha Gamma Phi sorority. The successors of the first national sorority on campus, Kappa Alpha Theta, formed local sorority the Imps (1913-1938), which in 1938 became Zeta Phi Gamma. The successors of Delta Delta Delta formed local sorority Delta Delta Rho, informally known as the Pyramids.[19] The most common residence for sororities has been Bissman Hall.[18]
Continuation as local organizations
[edit]Thus during subsequent years, fraternities and sororities have remained popular with students. Some thrived in spite of occasional efforts by faculty to limit them or ban their existence. Others have failed, due to unchecked behavioral excesses. The "local model" by its nature inserted the faculty and Trustees as overseers of the chapters, sometimes with heightened levels of concern: While the requirement that chapters abandon national identities allowed exclusive administrative control (i.e.: by collegiate administrators), the benefits touted by national organizations become therefore inaccessible: leadership and peer training from outside the college, broader (nationalized) risk management training, reduced group insurance costs, centrally managed communication with chapter alumni, national career networking and additional layers of alumni and national oversight. Even so, the local model has continued since 1913.
The State of Ohio increased its scrutiny over hazing allegations at state institutions when hazing was first made a state crime in 1983. During the following decade "the school's longstanding policy of don't ask-don't tell evolved into a crackdown of hazing activities."[2]
In 1991, two Wooster chapters were cited for hazing, in decisions that were later reversed by the Judicial Board due to lack of evidence, but heightened scrutiny remained, and some closures were forced.[2][20] A 1991 Trustees statement reaffirmed the ban on national groups, but offered support for the clubs and sections, officially allowing them to refer to themselves with Greek letters. In early 2006, Dean of Students Kurt Holmes proposed bringing in national fraternities again to alleviate many perceived problems with the local model, but this proposal was never acted upon.[2][21]
Through these challenges, the organizations have survived, with approximately 15% of the student body as members as of 2019, per the Inter-Greek Council.
General, academic and social fraternities and sororities
[edit]There are presently twelve active social/academic Greek groups at the College of Wooster. These include six sororities (sometimes called clubs), five fraternities (sometimes called sections) and one co-educational group. The clubs and sections terminology resulted in the adjustment from national affiliation; these groups now use the terms 'fraternity' and 'sorority' interchangeably, as well as Greek letters. These groups remain unaffiliated with national Greek organizations. Approximately fifteen percent of the student body participates in these groups. Wooster's Greek chapters are self-governed under an Inter-Greek Council. Active chapters listed in bold, inactive chapters listed in italics.[22] Noted by date of founding, chapters include:
(NIC) indicates members of the North American Interfraternity Conference.
(PFA) indicates members of the Professional Fraternity Association.
(FFC) indicates members of the Fraternity Forward Coalition.
(NPC) indicates members of the National Panhellenic Conference.

Honor and professional fraternities
[edit]
The emergence and continuation of honor societies on the campus has proceeded without similar interruption nor controversary. Wooster's first honor societies were formed in the early 1920s, when in quick succession a chapter of Delta Sigma Rho was placed at the school to recognize top students in debate, followed by the Spanish language and culture honorary, Sigma Delta Pi. These were soon joined by the oldest of the honor societies, venerable Phi Beta Kappa, which placed its Kappa of Ohio chapter at the campus in 1926. Most of these societies continue operation.
Unlike the general fraternities, an honor society requires a faculty sponsor; those that go dormant are easily re-established with the support of an engaged advisor. In the modern era, Honor societies are co-educational. Students who are elected to membership in an honor society may wear the society's colors with their graduation regalia.
Seizing a middle ground between honor societies and general fraternities, professional fraternities exist to promote scholarship and networking among students of a particular field. The sole professional fraternity on the campus is now dormant. On other campuses these may be residential. Professional fraternities are generally co-educational, limiting their membership to specific fields, or a small inter-related group of fields, like STEM, or "medical fields" or all types of engineering. They are self-governing. Chapter information for honor and professional fraternities from Baird's Manual, the Wooster website's list of student organizations, or departmental websites.

This has been done by order of the Faculty. Although the Kenarden "system" closely resembles a local fraternity system in pledging, hazing, social distinctions, and even the Greek letter names, the faculty has taken this action in order that outsiders may not think of the system as a fraternity system." The only passing reference to Greek identity in that edition is a note on the listing for the Imps (ΖΦΓ) in 1938, mentioning that each year, their former national Kappa Alpha Theta would send them a friendly invitation to re-join.
