Convention Summary

The 13th Grand Council Convention of Kappa Psi Fraternity was held at the LaSalle Hotel, Chicago, Illinois, November 26-29, 1913.

Among the many items that received attention, the following are most significant: (1) the name "passive" member was changed to "graduate" member; (2) a pledge obligation was approved; (3) authority was given to active chapters to elect to membership graduates from recognized schools of medicine and pharmacy, provided they had not been rejected by any other chapter of Kappa Psi.
