Editing Historically Speaking

''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.
