Fall rush week was entirely a man ' s affair this year. The girls found their sorority houses too full to warrant an early return to campus, so when the fraternity members moved in this time they found little to divert their attention from the annual selection of new members. Regardless, the annual keen competition for good pledges, the life-blood of fraterni- ties, seems to push the institution of formal rush ever earlier in September. This time, members of twenty-five Kansas chapters dropped their summer jobs and gathered as early as Sunday, September 2, to polish their houses for the next week ' s activity. Twenty- five optimistic rush chairmen explained the progress of their summer rushing and the general outlook for the prospective pledge class. As soon as all returning members had been accounted for, the minimum and maxi- mum numbers of pledges needed was set. 14 11

Rush Week begins as over five hundred rushees move in. On Labor Day Monday the rushees checked into their temporary dormitory quarters. Many rushees from Kansas high schools already had visited some fraternities earlier in the year. These men usually had been asked to Train Dates in Lawrence, Topeka, or Kansas City for Monday night. Men from out-of-state and those who had no contact with KU fraternity men attended the Interfraternity Council Train Date at the Kansas Union. Fall rush officially opened the next morning. During Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, some 570 rushees sifted through the fraternity houses, visiting six of them on the first day, five on the second day and three on the third. Donald Alderson, Dean of Men, released these unofficial reports after the pledge lists had been signed. Of the 570 rushees, 508 pledged immediately. Some men had only participated in rush to visit the chapter houses with the intention of pledging at a later date. Pledge classes ranged from five to thirty men, depending upon each chapter ' s capacity at the time. The unofficial breakdown was as fol- lows : Acacia, r i ; Alpha Kappa Lambda, 14; Alpha Tau Omega, 23 ; Beta Theta Pi, to ; Delta Chi, 24; Delta Sigma Phi, 7; Delta Tau Delta, 21; Delta Upsilon, i5; Kappa Sigma, 27; Lambda Chi Alpha, 26; Phi Delta Theta, 19 ; Phi Gamma Delta, 3o; Phi Kappa Psi, 27; Phi Kappa Sigma, i8; Phi Kappa Tau, i3; Phi Kappa Theta, i9; Pi Kappa Alpha, 23; Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 28; Sigma Chi, 30; Sigma Nu, z5; Sigma Phi Epsilon, 19 ; Tau Kappa Epsilon, z3; Theta Chi, zo; Theta Tau, 5 ; and Triangle, 15. Jim Carr, president of the Interfraternity Council, was quick to express his satisfaction with the rush results. IFC rush co-chairmen Steve Stotts and Alan Gribben were pleased with the cooperation and good attitude which prevailed throughout the week. Entertainment makes the hours go more rapidly.
