Historically Speaking

Revision as of 09:35, 11 April 2014 by fd00:1::28b4:143e:36b5:d528 (talk) (Chapters)

Historically Speaking is a newsletter that is written by the Fraternity History Chairman. In days gone by, it was printed in The Key as a column with historical tidbits. It later incorporated questions that were frequently sent to the Fraternity Archivist and the Fraternity History Chairman. For a time the newsletter was mailed to all Chapter Education Chairmen and eventually was made available online. Check back frequently as we upload more back-issues of this interesting publication. Please note that the newsletters reflect the brands and styles of the time in which they were published.
