The Union chap- ter was derived from a local society called the Fraternal Society founded in 1833. The fraternity now has twenty-seven active and seven inactive chapters and was the Hrst of all fraternities to establish a branch outside of New York or Massachusetts. 177 5r'1'f 'ii i 'll Q4 T F--f g?,ga'.3iil1.p l ' ilfflf, .lui y.,Liiil. :if TIL : V f-gf'i55 ' '- .n 13 1 fl f, ffm

- Theta Nu llpsilon was founded at p ' 1 XVeslyan University, Middletown, Con- - necticut, on -December 5., 1870, and fol- lowed a hectic career until 1923, when the policy was adopted at the Philadelphia .1-Q' il,. .ff-il convention which delinitely placed the 'if' order in the status of a general academic fraternity. It was founded for the pur- -gvflffifi pose of bringing together a group of con- , genial fellows who possessed ability for . leadership, and were representative stu- 8 one r 4 saw i dents in all phases of college life. The 'ibm fraternity grew too rapidly, and at one time had as many as eighty-two recognized sub rosa chapters, which have now been suspended and are no longer entitled to use the name. Fifteen chapters now exist and much credit is due to those who served the society on the grand council since 1920, because the most important constructive work that will effect the future of the organization is due to these faithful workers. 179 i
