Database Project - Post GC Directory

The 12/15/23 issue of The Archi includes the Grand Council's Directory, containing all brothers and pledges known to them at that moment. It's amazing to think that at one point, our entire membership could be printed on 6 pages!
Comparing what was in the database previously, here is where we now stand:

We are now 10 issues in. We now have 753 unique names.

The chapter breakdown is as follows:
Anthemios - 151
Iktinos - 161
Mnesicles - 122
Demetrios - 124
Andronicus - 40
Kallikrates - 20
Paeonios - 34

Some observations,
  • Paeonios is HUGE for a chapter that has been active for less than a year.
  • Iktinos went from 90 to 161, which to me, means they hadn't been specifically mentioning brothers by names in their updates. Let's see if that continues.
  • There are a large amount of siblings who have joined the fraternity. It's interesting to me how during this time period, architecture in a lot of cases, was viewed as a family business. I wonder if that was because many young men were not granted the opportunity to choose their own destinies?
