 What a Feeling! RUSH 1983 Sorority rush was held September 29-October 2. Ninety- seven women registered to participate in this time-consuming, but important aspect of Greek life. Each group of rushees went to each of the four parties on Thursday from 5:45-7:30 p.m. All women were invited by at least one house to the parties on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, 79 women attended at least one of the preferential parties from 1:45- 4:45, but only 77 chose to sign preference cards for bids. Sunday night, 72 women received bids. Two houses reached quota of 22; they were Alpha Delta Pi and Chi Omega. Kappa Delta had 11 women formally Pledge, and Phi Mu had 17 women. Any house that did not reach quota was free to issue open bids at any time. Activities Coordinator Cathy jeakly commented that about 10 per cent of the women who participated in rush (not including those who withdrew) were not issued bids. She felt that this was a substantial amount and only wished that something could be done to alleviate this problem. — Pam Prince TOP LEFT: Chi Omegas Alison Forsythe and Lynda Easterly take a break from rush workshop to test drive their new choo-choo.

 We're Off and Running! Senior Recognition Day is one day set aside in the fall of each year for Queens to honor her graduates. This day marks the first occasion for the seniors to wear their caps and gowns. From this day on the seniors will be off and running; finishing last minute requirements, job interviews, applying for grad school, or looking for Mr. Right! The seniors invited Dr. Rebecca jann to address them during the convocation held in Belk Chapel. She spoke about her own college days and as usual had her audi- ence in stitches. After the convocation, all of the seniors stood out- side of Belk and smiled for pictures. Yes! They are off and running. Senior Recognition 15
