Chapter VII. FORTUNES OF THE GREEKS

  The beginnings of the Miami fraternities are recorded in Francis W. Shepardson, The Beta Book (Menasha, Wisconsin, 1927); Walter B. Palmer, The History of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity (Menasha, Wisconsin, 1906); Robert M. Collett, The Centennial of Sigma Chi Fraternity (Evanston, 1955); and Jack L. Anson, The History of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity (Oxford, Ohio, 1957). Hinckley Smith traced the development of fraternities at Miami in his Kappa Chapter of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity (Hamilton, Ohio, 1903). The "snow rebellion" is recorded in the Board of Trustees records and the minutes of the Faculty for 1848. That event was nostalgically narrated by Alfred H. Upham in Old Miami (Oxford, Ohio, 1909), pp. 110-14. An eyewitness account appears in Joseph Brady's student journal, January 12-22, 1848.
