Prospective members are introduced to sorority life during Rush. During this busy time, sororities entertained rushees at a series of social functions and Panhel- lenic Council worked very hard to pro- mote the ideals of sorority life and to bring together the members of all member groups. Activities included a Rush work- shop, a Rush Counciling program, a Christmas party for the clients of the Cal- casieu Parish Women’s Shelter, participa- tion in Greek Week and Campus Beautifi- cation, and development of a Rush re- cruiting brochure. The Interfraternity Council at McNeese is composed of representatives of the six social fraternities on campus: Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Order, Kappa Sigma, Phi Beta Sigma, Pi Kappa Phi, and Tau Kappa Epsilon. The Council is composed of two repre- sentatives appointed by each fraternity to serve for one year. An executive commit- tee is elected at the end of the fall semes- ter. The purpose of the IFC is to establish good interfraternal relationships among the member groups, to encourage a wholesome atmosphere for the continu- ation of the fraternal system on the McNeese campus and to promote the ideals of brotherhood upon which all fra- ternities are fundamentally based. Ac- complishments within the last year includ- ed publishing the Freshman Record and active participation in Greek Week and Fall Rush.

Being involved in individual activities as well as group projects makes each Alpha Delta Pi Come Alive Cheerleaders, debaters, Cowgirl Kick- ers, and Panhellenic officers are but a few of many members who compose the Al- pha Delta Pi sorority. These young women are a close-knit group with high academic and social standards; a group whose pride is echoed on the McNeese campus. The Alpha Delta Pi’s believe strongly in the word ‘‘sisterhood.”’ This bond enables them to work as an active unit, both on campus and throughout the community. The Ronald McDonald Home is this soror- 86 Greeks ae ee ity’s special interest project, and the young women work diligently in their effort to aid this organization. But, of course, it is not all work and no play in the sorority. The Alpha’s enjoy sponsoring a number of social activities that promote ‘‘old fashioned fun! ’ Their annual parties includes Space Chase, Snowball, and last, but not least, the Bay- ou Bash. Alpha Delta Pi is on the move at McNeese. They're proud; and it shows!
