Greek Impact Un Campus Life Felt UT Arlington entered its first full year of National Greek fraternity and sorority activi- ties in the fall of 1968. Phi Gamma Delta CFijisJ and Phi Delta Theta both received their charters from their respective national organizations, thus affiliat- ing all six fraternities with national groups. San Souci sorority became Alpha Chi Omegag Avolonte, the oldest sorority on campus, became Zeta Tau Alpha and Les Choisies is currently pledging Delta Delta Delta. Phi Mu and Delta Zeta both came on campus in 1967. En Ami is still a local or- ganization. Sororities pledged over 50 coeds in the fall and 104 in the spring. Fraternities took 129 men in the fall and 130 in spring rush. Over 600 men went through the two rush periods, although some were not eligible to pledge. This year marked the last time deferred rush will be held by Panhellenic and Inter- fraternity Councils. Nancy Williams, who served as a hostess for Delta Upsilon during the fall rush, shows prospective pledges the fraternity's scrap book. s 9
