Gary Hedge Founds SMC

In 1971, High Tau Gary Hedge '72, with Bob James and Ron Rhoads from Chi Psi, transforms the Fraternity Managers Association into a purchasing collective for fraternities, sororities, and other small living units at Cornell. It solved the problem chapters had in obtaining credit, and allowed them to benefit from volume discounts. Today, SMC is the second largest student cooperative in the country.
