New fraternity builds members

By Kathleen Quilligan and Kathleen Quilligen · Wednesday, Sept. 17,2003 2:59 a.m.

Phi Kappa Tau was founded at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in 1906 and the Beta Lambda chapter at IU was started in 1949. The chapter became inactive at IU in 1993. But after a decade of absence from campus, a colony was formed March 31 of this year.
