l I ' OF COURSE, YOUR FEET HURT! Discovering that they have 59 instant friends, confidants, and defenders is generally a slight shock to most freshman women when they get the 'abig bidf' but the ten-day madness that precedes it can only be described as overwhelming. This is Sorority Rush. Its ingredients are complex. Take one sorority with approximately 40 rushers, add about 300 eager rushees, blend until highly organized, then relax and enjoy. As the parties progressed, smiles grew wearier, handshakes less hearty, and feet much bigger. But it looked like it was worth it to anyone watching the pledges-to-be streaming out of the Deanis office after receiving their bids. Joy is released with abandong so are tears. Fraternity men start calling friends to get themselves fixed-up with new pledges. Singing is uproarious as the sororities discover their new members, one hy one. and drag them into the Circle. Pledges will learn how to build Relays floats, how to polish trophies: how to drink beer, how to smoke, how to do the Twist, the Continental, and the Hully-Gullyg how to live together, and amazingly enough, how to study. lsn't college wonderful?

tilt tk c its QQ li BUT DID YOU REALLY WIN EVERYTHlNG?? It starts with a simple meeting of interested parties. Then these interested parties go to interesting parties. This is menis rush. Preparations are made well in advance. Fraternities set up squirrel patrols and snow-job teams, they order pledge pins. Rushecs buy vests and dark suits and brush up on the art of conversation. For a week they smile, introduce themselves and ask uWhat college are you in. This pro- gresses to uweid like to have you back again, Hiram, for Rock or Joe or Pall and eventually the Whole situation culminates with a pledge pin. A rushee is scrutinized closely-he might be somebody's room-mate someday. The rushee takes a good look too, if he has the chance. He looks at grade points, campus leaders, the house, and always pledges the fraternity with the nicest guys. De-pledging is frequent but so is re- pledging. And after the confusion has settled down, the rushees and now new pledges discover brotherhood, both genuine and imagined, and realize that in one short week they have chosen the men they'll be closest to in their college years. it
