Ilffay, 1946 PHI RHO PI OUNDED in 1917, through the efforts of fifteen members of the class of 1919, Phi Rho Pi Fratern- ity proposed to crystalize the friendship existing among undergraduates at Man- hattan into an organization that would provide a source of comraderie and foster a deeper appreciation of college life. That their ideal was realized is appar- ent upon consideration of the effortless perpetuation of Phi Rho Pi through the years. Its roster boasts many of the out- standing alumni and undergraduates, prominent in extra-curricular and schol- astic activities. Severely decimated in March 1943, when most of its members left for duty in the Services, Phi Rho Pi suspended activities temporarily in October of that year when the last of its remaining mem- bers donned their uniforms. In March, 1946, the newly discharged members, back at Alma Mater, met and discussed plans for reorganization. A few weeks elapsed and ofhcers were elected, pledges were accepted and a com-- plete return to the fraternity's normal well-defined existence was affected. In the course of the year two very successful social affairs were held, stim- ulating the interests of the members and providing the new members with a taste of the cordiality so prevalent in former years. Closer ties were forged too, to in- corporate the alumni members in the fra- ternity observances. Plans are well under way to signalize by appropriate memorials the fraternity brothers who sacrificed their lives in the recent conflict. T he future holds a prom- ise of vitality for Phi Rho Pi and con- tinued service to the College and to its membership.
