46 In addition to the regularly organized graduate chapters, there are graduate clubs comprising members of different chapters in New York, Philadelphia, Hartford, Newark, N. J., Syracuse and Pittsburgh.

The conventions of the fraternity have been held as follows: Hartford, 1899, 1901, 1903; Brooklyn, 1900, 1906; Philadelphia, 1900, 1905, 1908, 1910, 1912; New York, 1904, 1907, 1909, 1911, 1915; New Haven, Middletown and Hartford, Conn., 1914; and Atlantic City, 1916.

The fraternity publishes a journal called the Garnet and White, which was first issued in September, 1900, as a quarterly, but is now a bi-monthly. From 1900 to 1902 it was published at Hartford, Conn., from 1902 to 1909 at Wilkes-Barre, Pa., from 1909 to 1914 at New Brunswick, N. J., and since 1914 at Menasha, Wis. The fraternity also publishes a private journal called the Labarum, which first appeared in 1907, and is now issued three times a year. Address books were published in 1902, 1907, 1909, 1911, and 1915. Editions of a Manual appeared in 1895, 1899, 1905, 1907, and 1914. The most recent edition of the constitution, and of the collected statutes of the fraternity appeared in November, 1907. An attractive song-book was published in 1911.

The badge of the fraternity is a modification of the ancient Labarum, and displays the letters ΑΧΡ in the form of a monogram on the one side of which is an outstretched hand and on the other a torch. The fraternity colors are garnet and white; the fraternity flower is the carnation.
