Most of the Dartmouth Greek-letter societies have decided to hold their initiations this fall instead of just before commencement, as heretofore. This action has been the means of breaking up the two rival freshman societies, Kappa Sigma Epsilon and Delta Kappa. The former was established at Yale in 1840, and has had several chapters in other colleges, but all are now defunct. The Delta Kappa was established at Yale, like its rival, but five years later. Its southern chapters were broken up by the Rebellion, the Amherst chapter died in 1870, the Yale chapter was suppressed by the faculty in 1879, and now the Dartmouth chapter gives up the ghost.
