October, l9-l5 North, the fraternity, Manhattan's old- est, stands as truly symbolic ot Manhat- tan life, Standing out like the bright sun- light is the active pride and genuine in- terest that the fraternity members take in the effort to perpetuate the aims of the Alma Mater. It is for this reason that Alpha Sigma Beta strives to obtain only the finest quality of manhood to uphold the name of Manhattan. This also ac- counts for the fact that the fraternity demands so much of its pledgees. The fraternity is composed of an Active Body which consists of its under- graduate members, and a Supreme Body, which consists of the alumni. This fact not only establishes the fraternity as a father and son affair but it has also en- abled Alpha Sigma Beta to benefit the college by making numerous contribu- tions. These include: the Angelus Bell, which has become one of Manhattan's 2 AEB most sacred traditions. and substantial financial aid and backing in the building of the Cardinal Hayes Library, and many other noteworthy contributions. The social life of the fraternity is cal- culated to blend smoothly with social life on the campus. Fraternity sponsored dances as well as other fraternity func- tions provide a wealth of enjoyment and entertainment for the entire college. There you have a picture of Manhat- tan's oldest fraternity, proud of its mem- bers and more proud of its endeavor to bring fame to the name of Manhattan.
