No sooner had the remains of homecoming been clear- ed away than the sororities began formal rushing. Freshman women were introduced to each sorority through a short open house period with each group. Novelty parties with colorful themes were followed by the more formal final parties. Pledging itself was a more serious and formal event this year. Rather than converging enmasse in the middle of the campus. the actual pledging procedures were more dignified. Sorority members remained in their respective club rooms as they waited for the pledges to arrive. Fresh- men men became acquainted with the campus fratern- ities through smokers. Men were free to choose from all their bids as to what fraternity they would pledge.
