The decade following World War I, known as the Roaring Twenties, was an era of good feelings and care-free days. It was the time of bridge and Mah Jongg parties and lots of dancing - both in the evenings and at tea time. The Shimmy, the Toddle, and the Charleston were the dances of the day. Prohibition was in effect, accompanied by speak-easies and dates with hip flasks. It was the time of the flappers, with their short bobbed hairdos, and skirts that changed from feminine and long at the beginning of the decade to above the knee and then longer by the late twenties. Campus attire included middies or blouses with ties, sweaters with scarves, skirts, and saddle shoes worn with silk stockings. Raccoon coats were all the rage as were open flapping galoshes that one judge even tried to outlaw. Involvement on campus life grew as a richer variety of activities became available. Minutes recorded concern for scholarship, and study hours (as well as other incentives) were implemented. Young people challenged the rules they were handed, and it was a time of "renegotiation" with campus administrations. Women smoking was a big issue. Initial college and chapter prohibitions gave way during the decade to designations of where one might smoke (never in "machines" or at campus parties). The Fraternity roll grew to include chapters at Idaho, Colorado, Drake, William & Mary, Nevada, Florida State, California-Los Angeles, Iowa, Michigan State, Duke, Southern Methodist, and Denison.
