20 T CAME to me in a dream. As I meandered through my dream world one day, a vision ap- peared to me. From some part of the intelligible world a voice said, ouwx ovuyf' And I discovered the origin of rush week. It was long, long ago. Before your time and mine. Even before the good old days. It was in the what- is-the-basic-substratum-of-all-phenomena-days of Soc- rates and the philosophic round table. In fact, it all eventually Cso the vision goesb works down to a couple of practically prehistoric, but truly Aphrodisian queens Cthen known as goddessesD. These two seventh century B.C. femme fatales were swinging through the colonnades on that fateful day in September, sipping a couple of Allen specials. The Grecian skies were blue overhead, the gods were smiling benevolently on the two specimens of beauty in the ancient world. Suddenly, Mabel, the fair-haired one, gasped and turned pale with horror. For on the fingernails of her erstwhile friend, she had glimpsed a flash of color -a brilliant fire chariot red color. Dost thou not know, quoth the maiden tremblingly, that thou art flouting the gods above by thy rashness? Thou hast been stained by the vineyard of Bacchus, and shall be punished for thy iniquityf, Haughtily replied Gert: Fie! It is an entrancing idea recently conceived by me and if thou find it sinful in thine eyes, get thee hence. So Mabel got hence. She shunned her erstwhile friend, and distinguished herself in the annals of history as the first Cat. She initiated a whispering campaign detrimental to the character and reputation of audacious Gert. She rallied to her cause other Athenian maids who feared the wrath of the gods and stood for tradition. ' But Gert wasn't asleep with her ringer nail polish on. No, sir! She got up the old fight and started a whisper shooting right back at Mabel. She applied Socrates' current inductive argument method and put the squitch on all her buddies to join up for an all-out Pro-Finger-Nail Polish feud. Gert and Mabel got to organizing so thoroughly, they soon had all the toga girls divided into two WHMlN THE JAYHAWKER camps, and identified as Local No. 576 and 254 respectively. The girls really worked up the old esprit de corps. Words Hew back and forth. Smoke filled the air. They put the pressure on the girls in the Coliseum to join up the gang. They sent smart clay invitations on the best Babylonian lapis-lazuli to the non-union girls to pledge to the cause. Even the old standby, Britannica, got the idea when it spake, in earlier years the sharp rivalry among or- ganizations fostered clannishness and led to much bitterness of feeling. As the months and years went by, however, the memory of Gert and Mabel began to fade away, and the Grand Old Finger Nail Issue was all but forgotten. But the followers of those two lovely damsels continued putting on the pressure and send- ing invitations. And it's still going on. They're still putting on pressure, feuding, fighting, bickering, and pledgingf Ever since Mabel and Gert, however, it has been fairly confusing as to what the specific aims of such fraternal organizations are. For instance, the Fratres Pontifices, number one fraternity of the twelfth cen- tury, endowed themselves with the virtues of reli- gious societies for pious practices and benevolent objects. Rational thought rebels at the idea of drawing from that worthy statement of principles the development of today's societal brotherhoods. And in the eighteenth century, reliable sources still draw from the realm of idealism the definition of fraternities as intended for the promotion of litera- ture and of friendly discourse. Today, social life forms the basic reason d'etre of all fraternities. True, the Womens Panhellenic Creed sets forth that fraternity women stand for preparation for service through the character build- ing inspired in close contact and deep friendship of fraternity life . . . and opportunity to prepare for wide and wise human service. But is this what 239 women had in mind last September 10, 1941? Definitely not. They remem- bered how proud Suzie was of the little Kite pin she wore home last Christmas vacation. They thought of how that horrible little Molly Somebody was miraculously transfigured into a Thing of Beauty after the Crescent clique gathered her into the fold. They thought of all the dates they would write in their K-Book, under the wing of the Lyre bearers, They considered how impressed the crowd back home would be by a Gower Key.
