In the law office of an Indiana Alpha alumnus, this group signed the Bond and was chartered. On the first day of April they marched together to the morning chapel wearing your new badges, and event causing no little stir among the students. The records show that the new chapter soon found a meet- ing place within its means: Committee on room reported that they had secured Miss Brock's photographic gallery for the pres- ent year at a cost of $20. For the weekly meetings the members assembled with photo- graphic backgrounds of Niagara Falls, the Hudson River, and Bunker Hill Monument. In years to come, this DePauw chap- ter would provide some of the strongest leaders of the national fraternity.
