Rushees add their names to the roster at the Phi Alpha dance. Coeds are led along the yellow brick road to Kappa Delta. EXPECTATION Greek organizations have one purpose in rushing — to meet and become acquainted with prospective mem- bers who desire to become a part of their association. During Rush, the initiated members gain the confi- dence of the rushees by answering their questions and counseling them in numerous inquiries concerning Rush and the Greek system. It is during this interval that members become con- scious of the common bond that unites them to the numerous individual chapters and to the national inter- fraternal organization, of which they are all a part. Anticipation and apprehension mount as coeds enter sorority rooms for the first day of open house. 23

Plans and presenta- tion combine as a team to produce extravaganzas of papier-mache and crepe paper. Delta Delta Delta combines a strong theme and good presen- tation to capture a first-place sorority decoration. 25
