Creek fraternities and sororities offer the university student an alternate lifestyle as opposed to the Residence Halls and off-campus living. Greek houses put emphasis not only on a student's academic life, but on social and extra-curricular activities as well. Greek units not only involve the student with the individual house, but also encourage involvement in student government and other ASMSU activities. Members of the Greek community consistently make up a great portion of the Campus leadership. The Greek's social life provides a backdrop for their academic and extra-curricular activities. Their social events not only catch the eye of the average college student, but often draw attention from the community and civil authorities as well. For the members of the houses though, their social events provide an array of memories that will hardly be forgotten. All in all. the Greek lifestyle provides the university student with the utmost opportunity for personal, as well as social and academic growth. 16 by Anthony Mdman Rukiun

SPORTS by D. Boyd College sports has always been an integral component of college life. Montana State University is no exception. From as far back as the 1906-07 Montanan (the First pictorial yearbook), sports at MSU was an already established practice. In those days. MSU was Montana Agricultural College (MAC) and boasted a football, basketball, track, and baseball team. Women's sports was limited to an eight woman basketball team. As MAC grew and changed over the years, the people and times also changed. Today Montana State University competes at all levels of athletic excellence. The football, basketball, cross country, track, skiing, wrestling, volleyball, rugby, tennis, gymnastics, and rodeo teams have all developed and excelled at one time or another in MSU history. Men and women compete at MSU in almost every sport. Bobcat fans have always been important to the success and spirit of the teams. The Bobcat Grizzly rivalry dates back to the First games in the early 1900's. Today with so many colleges exposing athletic scandals, it is important to note that MSU has maintained high standards of athletics and education on the field and in the classroom.

UnJnMit A on Pruitt Cheerleaders at MSU arc a group of enthusiastic, highly dedicated students who raise our spirits at Bobcat football and basketball games. They lead us as we rally support for our Bobcats. But. being a member of the Bobcat Cheer Squad isn t all fun and games. It takes alot of hard work and dedication. Great strength and coordination are required, as well as athletic and intellectual prowess. The Bobcat Cheer Squad works year round training and raising money so that they can cheer for Bobcat athletics. All members are required to attend cheerleading camp, which begins around the last week of August. The Camp provides extensive dance training. It also gives the Squad an opportunity to learn new cheers and formations. The Cheer Squad must also sponsor several fund-raising events in order to earn money for uniforms and travel. These events have included raffles, selling groceries, and sponsoring breakfasts at our local McDonald's. The Cheer Squad is under the auspices of the Men's Athletic IX'panment. and all cheerleaders must comply with their regulations. The Bobcat Cheer Squad is a vital part of our community. They are our catalysts as we support our great athletic teams here at MSU. 17
