Fraternities and Sororities of the University of Rhode Island (Rec. Gr. 172)

The collection also documents disciplinary actions and tragic events that occurred. In 1979, after repeated instances of inappropriate behavior, Phi Mu Delta lost its charter (See folder #29). The 1968 fire at the Sigma Pi house resulted in one death and several more people being injured. This tragic event occurred after an unauthorized party in which alcohol was served and resulted in Sigma Pi's charter being revoked (See folders # 34-35).

The records offer a glimpse into campus life within Greek letter societies, a life of academics, athletics, social functions, philanthropic service, and dedication to brotherhood/sisterhood.
