24 Pledges Find Sororities in Formal Rush Every year in colleges and universi- ties all across the nation many female students go through a week of parties and major decision making called Formal Rush. This year's Formal Rush at CSU was held August 25-29. The three sororities that participated were Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Zeta, and Sigma Kappa. Wednesday a picnic was held at Stevenson Park. In spite of the threat of rain, the rushers and rushees met for the first time over hotdogs. Thursday was Open House night, where the rushees were invited to inspect the sorority houses. Friday was Theme Night. Each sorority put on a skit and sang about their group. Saturday was Preferential Night. On Pref Night the rushees learned how special a sisterhood can be through a more serious presentation by the members. Then it was back to the University Center to make a decision they would live with for the rest of their lives - which sorority to pledge. On Bid House Day, August 29, the members eagerly awaited and welcomed the rushees into their chosen Sisterhood at the Y-Chapel. -Q .ki .1 .I ,K si X,-I fh. .1

Holiday Seasons CSU Style Being away from home for the first time can be quite traumatic for many students. When the holidays roll around, however, CSU students find ways to make the season more homey. At Halloween, ghosts 85 goblins seemed to come out of the woodwork. Various organizations sponsored costume parties, some in conjunction with homecoming. Thanksgiving was the first chance many had to go home, but before leaving special Thanksgiving dinners were served. As soon as students returned from their homemade turkey dinners, Christ- mas parties began. First the President's Club sponsored a party for under- privileged children on November 29. The children came from all over Edmond. Different clubs sponsored the children by making sure Santa had toys, clothing and a stocking of goodies for the little ones. December 2 was the Feast of Carols. After the dinner CCornish game hen, baked potato and sour cream, veggies and strawberry cake were served,J campus organizations were invited to dedicate and present a wreath to a person who helped them during the past year. The wreath presentation was followed by a short program presented by a few of the various choirs and singing groups on campus. A short play reminding us of the real meaning of Christmas was presented. Santa Claus showed up at the end in time for after dinner cider and conversation. Even though students are busy and away from home, the holidays are not forgotten. TOP: Tim Reece presents a wreath to Deans Land and Ryan at the Feast of Carols.
