Excerpt from The Sigma Phi Epsilon Journal, Vol. 8: May 1, 1911 Kansas Alpha, in this issue of the journal, submits three more songs for the consideration and use of the fraternity at large. Our local chapter has ever emphasized the musical side of our Fraternity life and are glad to make whatever contribution we can to the musical interests of Sigma Phi Epsilon. I have had the privilege of visiting a large number of fraternities and observing them in their chapter life. Too often there is almost total neglect of musical enjoyment. This is unfortunate. For what can promote fraternalism more than the enthusiastic participation in a rousing fraternity song? What can stir the heart of the old grad more than the singing of the fraternity songs of his college days? I have seen the eyes of some of our alumni swim in tears of joy and appreciation as the boys of Kansas Alpha sang some of the songs we here submit. The power of song has been recognized through the ages. These influences are far more potent in fraternity life for we here have interests and purposes more nearly similar than is possible in other spheres and organizations. Let us then give expression to our enthusiasm through one of the most enjoyable and profitable avenues - chapter singing. To this end let our brothers of talent give time and attention to the composition of new songs and let each chapter send in songs as rapidly as they are composed.
