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.

At Cowan Hall, an enjoyable and impressive musical program was presented by the Modern Dance Club and A Cappella Choir. This included a candlelight procession by the choir, and the decoration of a Christ- mas tree by the dancers. At the close of the program, the students braved the bitter cold for a period of caroling throughout Westerville. Then, warming their toes by the firesides of various professors, the rosy-cheeked carolers en- joyed friendly and informal visits over delicious punch and cookies. Carols and hot chocolate in a cozy, atmospheric Barlow Hall marked the end of another evening of fun and fellowship. f f
