Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities (1879)/Phi Theta Pi

A local fraternity founded at Marietta College, Ohio, Oct. 29, 1877, by R. H. Walker, H. S. Hollister, and others. As it has no chapters, and is so young, it is necessarily very small in numbers.

The society badge is a rectangular slab with concavely curved comers; in the centre is a scroll on which are engraved the letters “ΦΘΠ;” above is a crossed quill and key and three stars, and below is the inscription “αώδς.”
