Michigan's 58 general and profes-
sional fraternities are in the best
financial condition in many years,
according to Prof. Robert Briggs of
the economic department, fraternity
financial adviser.
During the past year, 45 fraterni-
ties operated at a gain, while only 13
lost money.
The total income of all campus
fraternities last year, excluding in-
itiation fees, was $642,785.90, while
the total expense was $645,181.28.:E
The amount collected in initiation
fees was $34,769.38, and of this 3
amount $15,855.03 were paid to the
national chapters of the various
Greek letter groups.,
This left a profit of $18.914.35
from initiation fees, and subtracting
the loss in operating expenses, left
a balance of $16,518.97.
The majority of this money is be-
ing used by fraternities for major im-
provements on their houses, Professor
