-i I Molevvski I — - verlooking the picturesque Newman Lake, Greek Row is home to 17 fraternities and sororities. Each I f 1 group was required to have a certain number of members in their house. Houses had managers who were responsible for keeping track of details similar to what hall directors would take care of in resi- dence halls. I -T embers of the Greek com- IbJII muniry make themselves III known outside of their fra- ternities. Senior Kyle Wesson and junior Jon Judah worked under Kristin Radciiffe as Orientation As- sistants during the summer of 1 997. Wesson, a Kappa Alpha brother, was also the 1997-98 SGA secretary, and Judah was elected as the 1998-99 president of Alpha Kappa Lambda. he Greek Life system began in May 1939 with the establish- ment of two sororities at Madison College, Kappa Delta Pi and Sigma Phi Lambda. Greek Life has ex- panded to 32 fraternities and sorori- ties, which are recognized by the National Interfraternlty Conference, the National Panhellenic Conference and the Black Greek Caucus. Ap- proximately 2,000 students at the university are members of a frater- nity or sororit) ' . Sorority rush is held in the fall and fraternity rush is held in both the fall and spring.

) J horographers are a strange bunch. They are a mysterious hybrid of artists and journal- ists. They are at once technical and creative. They can work slowly with attention to A each and every detail or they can catch a unique moment in time and preserve it forever. Our photo staff definitely was not an exception. We certainly had the complete spec- p trum of photographer types, from the precise landscape photographer to the random antics of the innovative photographer to the images created on a whim by the more spontaneous shooter. The Gallery displays some of our favorite work from over the years and really illustrates the variety of photography we were so lucky to see this year. It is our chance to take a step back from the traditional yearbook style and show off a little of our own. And if one thing is certain, photo staffs have always been and always will be the same people. I was flipping through some old copies of the Bluestone nd couldn ' t help but notice a striking resemblance between the Bluestone .ohQM.staff from 1 950 and this year ' s photo staff Pretty scary, huh? -MP Melissa Palladino Statia Molewski Editors i: -.- -7 Gallery
