Alpha Tau Omega approached the Zeta Phis on January 22, 1880 but was politely rebuffed. It is composed of three Phis and three Illinois College faculty or staff members. The previous demonstration assumed that the phis would only match up in pairs. Unlike" The Scroll", the "Palladium" was intended to be read by Phis only. Over 14,000 Phis were known to have been in active service during the conflict. PHIs of the Colombo Municipal Council wear white tunics with green or black epaulette. As war raged in Vietnam, Phis again served in the armed forces.
