Social or Serious, Greek Life Is Active Five sororities and six fraternities band together to form a strong and active interest group. Last spring ' s Greek Week was a week of parties, chariot races and bike races, contests, and impromptu skits which served to emphasize Greek unity. Over 100 girls began their 1972-73 year with a hectic week of parties and decisions. Formal rush began for the sororities on August 24, 1972, with a Panheilenic Tea and visitation. The various sororities sponsored parties with themes ranging from the timely Campaign ' 72 and The Olympics to the nostalgic Charlie Chaplan , Roaring ' 20 ' s , and Wild, Wild West. Informal picnics preceded formal parties where 69 girls chose to pledge Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Omicron Pi, Delta Zeta, Phi Mu, or Sigma Sigma Sigma sisterhoods. September 25, 1972, climaxed three weeks of fraternity rush parties, mixers, and smokers. Alpha Kappa Lambda, Delta Chi, Delta Sigma Phi, Phi Sigma Epsilon, Sigma Tau Gamma, and Tau Kappa Epsilon concentrated on recruiting members and publicizing Greek spirit. Another highlight in the year included float building, skit preparation, house decorating in anticipation of Homecoming. Other Homecoming activities included entering candidates in the queen contest, and holding lunches and teas for alumni. Fund-raising drives for charities, formal dances at Christmas and Spring, and intramurals round out the yearly activities of Greek life. 26
