What is the twofold charge entrusted by the founders to later generations of Fiji men?

• A. To extend the order so that the star of Delta will glisten on the steeple of every college of good standing throughout the land, and to guard zealously the portals and admit only those men who by their character attainment and promise are worthy of the fraternity's ideals.
• B. To extend the order to all colleges and admit anyone who applies.
• C. To keep the order exclusive to current members only.
• D. To build a museum on campus.

Answer: (A)

The point being tested is the founders’ twofold mandate: grow the fraternity by extending it to more colleges, while at the same time maintain its standards by admitting only men who meet its ideals. The winning option expresses both ideas together—expanding the order so its symbol appears at more reputable colleges, and guarding the gates so new members are chosen for character, attainment, and promise. That balance of growth with strict, value-based selection best fits the founders’ vision. Choices proposing universal admission, keeping the order closed to outsiders, or unrelated projects do not capture both goals at once.
