First out of the gates. The run continues. Clouds gather in the late afternoon sky. As the time approaches 5:30 P.M., 235 nervous women prepare themselves for an evening full of parties. These women, however, are not going to attend typical campus parties. They are participating in the annual Greek event: RUSH. During orientation week, these women spent four nights going to the rush parties at the seven sorority houses, meeting greek members and trying to decide where they would like to make their homes at Butler. Of the 235 women who registered and participated in formal panhellenic rush, 167 pledged sororities. Quota was set at 28 girls per house this year. Meeting quota were the Alpha Chi Omegas, the Alpha Phis, the Delta Gammas, the Kappa Kappa Gammas, and the Kappa Alpha Thetas. The high quota was caused by an increased number of rushees and a small percentage of dropouts. Five houses meeting quota showed that this year ' s rush was a big success. As usual, tension mounted on bid day as rushees waited to receive their membership bids. Soon, a rush of girls flew out the doors of Schwitzer, past all of the onlookers that lined the sidewalk, running down the row to their new homes where they were welcomed by their new sisters.
