Rushing and Pledging With a shortened orientation week this year, DePauwts Greek system also saw a change. Fraternity pledging found most men established in their respective houses by the weekend of Sept. 11, while womenis rush continued through Oct. 1. For those students preferring in- dependent living Bishop Roberts, Longden, and Mason residence halls were available. When registration was completed, freshmen and up- perclassmen alike scrambled to the Book Store to purchase books and supplies in preparation for the first day of classes. With classes be- ginning on Friday, Sept. 10, this year, students had to settle down to the studying routine earlier than usual. As orientation week drew to close, a new and exciting year began for DePauw. DU pledge Jim Evans zeros in with a grin at the Alpha Chi kiss-in.
