Members Vs Men - Answer- Members Versus Men Bro. Walter H. Mazyck The Greek Letter Societies among our group appear to have entered into a period of mad competition for obtaining members. Pledges are increasing in numbers. Scarcely a student on the college campus but wears a pledge pin or a frat pin. Are the fraternities forgetting their original high standards? Can it be said that every man who enters college is of Fraternity material? If in any place, Omega has entered this mad race for members, pause and consider. The value of our Fraternity is not in numbers, but in men, in real brotherhood. Eight
