To summarize this journal, a vote was taken in 1893 to allow fraternities on campus. Kappa Alpha and Sigma Chi chapters were the first to begin at the University of Kentucky by the end of 1893. Fourteen years later, the first sorority was introduced to campus, Alpha Xi Delta. The Photo in this journal specifically shows a social gathering at Sigma Chi during the academic year of 1937-38. Fraternities and sororities have provided social engagements and recreation on campus since early history of the University of Kentucky. This is still true today, but with even more awareness of the importance of giving back to the community as many members participate in various service organizations.
This journal holds importance within my community because it talks about fraternities/sororities starting on campus. There was a process to get fraternities and sororities started and now there are 47 different ones on campus and over 5,000 individual members. ("Fraternity & Sorority Affairs."
