Tomahawk
Magazine
THE OLDEST RUNNING FRATERNAL MAGAZINE IN THE UNITED STATES
The Tomahawk has continued to change in appearance and purpose, reflecting the changing nature and needs of the members of Alpha Sigma Phi. For many years, the magazine reported merely on the activities of chapters and members. Today's Tomahawk seeks to do more than just list new chapter officers and routine chapter news. It reports more in-depth chapter programs and projects. It reports on the achievements of our members worldwide and it reports on Alpha Sigma Phi's changing policies and priorities. It seeks to challenge and stimulate new thinking . . . to share new approaches to fraternal living and achieving a better Brotherhood.
The Tomahawk (ISSN #0741-5435 Print and ISSN #1931-9606 Online) is the oldest college fraternity publication. It first appeared in November 1847 at Yale University and continued until the university suspended it in 1852. Since its revival in April 1909, it has been continuously published.
Today, The Tomahawk seeks to reflect the Vision and Purpose of Alpha Sigma Phi by presenting news of active chapters and affiliate organizations, individual members and the national organization; by addressing current issues facing the Greek community and our Fraternity; by educating and entertaining those interested in the welfare of Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity and Foundation; and by serving as a historical record. The Tomahawk is distributed in a variety of formats. Every month, all alumni and undergraduates with a good email address receive an electronic Tomahawk Newsletter. Other formats include a printed magazine typically distributed twice each academic year.
