The Alpha Society records series consists of meeting minutes, membership records, correspondence, banquet programs, initiation rituals, constitution, financial records and other historical records of the Alpha Society spanning from 1918 up to 2018. The meeting minutes document the initiation process of new members, addresses delivered by various speakers, as well as the society’s upcoming plans and events. Some of the meeting minutes are from the annual banquets, while others are from the special meetings held by officers and committees. In addition to the meeting minutes, agendas, banquet programs and initiation rituals also document the proceedings of the Alpha Society. Membership records contain lists of Alpha members, including students, alumni, faculty, and other distinguished members. Moreover, there are multiple memorial biographies dedicated to the deceased members and delivered at the meetings. Starting in 2003, this collection also contains many student membership applications. A large portion of this collection consists of correspondence between members and society officers.
