jiusiJJiis Silence, endi- “Yes, of course. I want to be a fraternity man,” or “I’d love to join a sorority,” is the thought in the minds of many fresh- man “fellows” and girls when September brings them to our campus. And so the active members of our four sororities engage in a formal rush week with no speaking to rushces permitted except in the sorority houses or at the Panhel- lenic tea, and the three men’s fraternities rush enthusiastically but less formally. Parties constantly for one week, much wondering, much anticipation, and fin- ally the long-remembered pledging day— a day of happiness and a day of pride in being even a pledge of the organization of your choice.

And so, home to unpacking, chattering, and one more year at Simpson. 20)))
