304 THE SCROLLhad been pulling themselves together nationally. As a result some of our chaptersduring the past few years have quite often been surprised at the sudden strength ofcertain fraternities much younger than ourselves. Others, stronger ones, who likeourselves, have been laboring under the delusion that they had national organization,almost without exception are awakening to the fact that a strong national organizationis necessary and are hastening to develop it.STATISTICS OF CHAPTER HOUSESThe following statistics regarding houses owned by chapters of fraternitiesor by chapter house associations have been compiled from the last edition ofBaird's Manual of American College Fraternities, which was published inSeptember, 1912:HOUSES OWNED BY FRATERNITIESActiveChaptersNumberHousesownedPercentTotalValue of housesAverageK2 79 B 8 n 47 A * 85.7 B e* A 8 74 * A e , , , 45 * T 82.6Ben 72 * r A 34 2 * 80.02 A E 72 AKE 32 AKE 76.22 N 67 2 A E 29 A A * 76.02 X 64 2 X 29 X * 71.4ATS! , , , , 62 * K * 28 K A (N) .. 71.4 * K *.. 447,500* r A ... 59 ATA . . 24 X * 66.7 ATA.. 412,200ATA,,. ,56 K 2 24 B e n 65.3 X * . .. 397,000K A (S) ... 47 AT 23 * K * .... 65.1 AT... 392,500* K * 43 2 N 22 * A e 60.8 Z * . .. 376,000AKE 42 A A * 19 Z * 58.3 2 A E. . 371,500AT 40 * T 19 A * 58.3 2 X ... 354,900n K A 33 e A X , , , 15 e A X 57.7 8 A X.. 332,2502 * E 29 X * 15 * r A 57.6 K 2 ... 329,600* K 2 .27 A T SI 15 AT 57.5 X * ... 293.000* 2 K . ; 27 Z * 14 2 X 45.3 2 N ... 289,600SAX 26 X * 12 ATA 42.9A * ... 268,965A A * ,25 * K 2 , , 10 2 A E 40.3A * . .. 245,500Z * 24 K A (S) 9 * K 2 37.0 * K 2. . 230,500* T 23 2 * 8 AXP 33.3 2 * 194,000X * 21 A * 7 TKE 33.3 AT!!.. 157,750Z T B 19 A * 6 2 N 32.8 * 2 K.. 144,000* 2 K 6 K 2 30.4 K A (N) 143,5004 * 12 K A (N) ... 5 A 2 * 30.0 K A (S) 78,000AXP 12 AXP 4 ex 30.0 AXP.. 75,0002 * 10 n K A 4 ATS! 24.2 A 2*.. 46,5008 X 10 A 2 * * 2 K 22.2 e x . . . 30,500A 2 * 10 ex 3 K A (S)... 19.2 n K A.. 26,500A 2 * 9 TKE 1 n K A 12.1 TKE.. 9,000A * 7 Z E T 1 Z B T 5.3 Z B T.. 8,000K A (N) 7 2 * E 0 2 * E — 2 * E..2 n 6 A 2 * 0 A 2 *_ A 2 *..n K * 4 2 n 0 2 n -i 2 n ...T K E . , , , 3 n K * 0 n K * — n K *..2 * 2 2 2*2 0 2 * E — 2*2..Total 1,141Average. 32Total 513Average.. 16.5n..$734,750* A e.. 724,500AKE.. 603,000A A *.. 566,000* T ... 504,000* r A. . 484,000A * $40,916A * 38,423X * 33,083A A * .. 29,789K A (N) 28,700Z I- 26,857* T 26,5262 * 24,250* 2 K .. 24,000* K 2 .. 23,050e A X .. 22,150X * 19,533AXP.. 18,875AKE.. 18,844ATA.. 17,175AT 17,065* A e . . 16,161* K * .. 15,982B e n . . 15,633A 2 * .. 15,500* r A .. 14,235K 2 .... 13,7332 N 13,1642 A E . . 12,8112 X 12,237AT!!.. 10,51«e x 10,167TKE.. 9,000K A (S). 8,667Z B T .. 8,000n K A .. 6,6252 * E ..A 2 * ..2 nn K *..2*2..,Average. .45.0 Total $9,270,015 Average $18,070The table includes 36 fraternities, having 1141 chapters which own 513houses, but houses are owned by only 31 fraternities having 1119 chapters.The average number of houses, shown in the second column as 16.5, was foundby dividing the 513 houses by the 31 fraternities owning them; the averagefound by dividing 513 by 36 would be 14.3. The average per cent of housesowned by fraternities, given as 45.0 in the third column, was found bydividing 513 by 1141, the number of chapters of the 36 fraternities; theaverage found by dividing 513 by 1119—the number of chapters of the 31fraternities that own houses—would be 45.8. The total value of the 513 houses,$9,270,015, shown in the fourth column, divided by 513 makes the average$18,070, as shown in the fifth column.
