Rush ... A Matter of Choice Rush, rush, rush — that ' s all a person did during the week of formal rush held August 24-29. Meetings, parties, ceremonies are all a part of it. Smiles for the girls, handshakes tor the guys. During that one week, a rushee is introduced to the many girls and guys that make up the Greek family on campus. Activities are planned back-to-back with maybe five minutes, between parties. There ' s hardly any time to eat and you ' re too excited to sleep. From this one week, you are supposed to choose one group that will make you feel at home, away from home. A group that will be your true friends whenever you need them. But ... at the same time, the groups are looking for members they feel would be hard workers, true assets, and good leaders. They are looking for quality mem- bers to carry on their traditions. So . . . who is choosing whom. You ' re rushing around trying to find yourself a group. The ones you don ' t like, you cut. They ' re rushing around trying to find a good member. The ones they don ' t like, they cut. Rush ... is it really a matter of choice.- ' A firm handshake is a very important part of fraternity rush. Kappa Alpha actives Hne up in front of their house to greet rushees as they approach. 28 L iving Sorority rush is more informal than fraternity rush. During coke parties Chi Omega ' s sit on the floor and chat with the rushees.
