One. of the most exciting ways to get involved in the social life on Furman's campus is to join a fraternity or social club. In order to do so. a student must go through Rush, which is a unique experience at Furman. Although this rush period is an extremely busy time, both the rushees and those involved with the preparation have some great and unforgettable times. Rush at Furman is structured to avoid confusion and to insure success. The two main periods, fall and winter terms, have requirements and guidelines for both the fraternities and the social clubs. These structures provide for a uniformity that helps in understanding what would be expected of a member of these organizations. For the social clubs, fall rush is an opportunity for senior girls at Furman to become a sister in one of the clubs This period begins October 1 and extends to October 15. During this time, any interested senior girl may contact the president of the club tp which she is interested. The president then presents her name to the club for approval If approved, she becomes a new sister. Winter term rush for the social clubs is more involved. The Ice Water Teas at the end of Fall term provide a way to make the initial contact with the clubs. These teas allow interested upperclassmen girls to meet the members of the different clubs and thus learn about each and what it has to offer as an organization To insure that the potential rushees do meet and talk with members of each social club, there is a signature requirement for each girl There are four teas in which to acquire Fall and winter rush gave students a unique way to get Involved at Furman
