Photo info request

Michigan's photo comes from the Record of November 1963 (p. 13). Cornell's and Chicago's B&W photos are from the informational pamphlet with the gilt ΓΑ on the cover, which has no publication information, so I've labeled them with the provisional date of 1963 as well. Will attempt to track down the specific dates for each, but any help is much appreciated! -Guy_bhai

Where did the photo of cornell go? The history makes it sound like it was deleted by some copyright bot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.93.55.60 (talk) 11:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Activities request

Since the activities of each chapter were roughly similar—the "smokers" and other socials that were all the rage, the various guest lectures by eminent scholars and original research presented by active members, each chapter's publication in turn of the Gamma Alpha Record, etc.—it makes sense to me for them to be handled as they are now, in the sections provided (rather than duplicating each chapter's similar activities under their respective subsections). Any volunteers to write this section up? (The content of which can be filled in by reading through past Gamma Alpha Records.) -Guy_bhai

Publications request

The Gamma Alpha Record as well and the important functions it served—publishing active members' research, providing directories of members / alum, submitting financial and other reports on and giving advice to the various chapters, etc.—to me also merits a section of its own, so I've provided a section for it. Anyone is welcome to write this up—perhaps Cornell, with its complete holdings of the Record (and presumably Newsletters as well)? We at Chicago are missing many issues of both and are probably generally not as well suited to write this section up (though if no one else is interested, I can try to put something together). -Guy_bhai

Scope

The Gamma Alpha page was initiated to provide a historical glimpse of the Society, not necessarily a full account of the goings-on, etc., in present chapters. My feeling is that individual chapter web-pages are more appropriate for contemporary activities and the like (for which Chicago's URL will be active shortly), but this is of course open to discussion... -Guy_bhai
