CHINNING RULES
October, 1909

Chinning rules were made the subject of an earnest discussion at an early meeting of the Interfraternity Council. A small tax was voted to cover the cost of incidentals. Chinning day was set for Saturday, December 4. Organized calling is to begin November 1. Until then the council will meet once in two weeks, and after that, once every week. The delegates from the various fraternities were asked to have the chinning rules read in their respective chapters, and to have it made perfectly evident that infraction will be penalized by publication of the offense in The Dartmouth, and by notification of the national secretary of the offending fraternity. Posters will be put up to inform the Freshmen of the rules.

The interpretation of organized calling was discussed. It was decided that frequenting of freshman rooms by members of fraternities will be considered "organized calling," and will be followed by complaint and penalty. For the present it was decided that Freshmen should be allowed in fraternity quarters only when on business. All feeds or entertainments by members of a fraternity, at which Freshmen are present, are absolutely forbidden.
