Iths All For A Good Cause Whether youhre a Greek, a friend of a Greek or an innocent bystander, few can deny that fraternities and sororities have not played some part in their lives. The Greek season begins well before a book is opened, with the in- famous fall fraternity and sorority rush. While hopeful females spend their first week eating cookies in sorority suites, young males are out shaking hands at one of Penn Statehs 50 fraternities. Before there is time to read a word of Bi-Sci, Homecoming arrives. Greeks spend hours making floats for the parade. If you think all-nighters with coffee and a math book are bad, try beer and a hunk of chicken wire. .. Cindy Halterman V M 22 GreekLiving Ax o .g-Rmrm v m - ; Greek games durin L . gr?

Some Call It Home Springtime in Happy Valley e a time of year many Penn State students look forward to even more than football season. The warm weather seems to encourage everybody to make the most of the outdoors. A favorite pastime for students is wandering in and out of the many stores downtown. Whether a student is shopping for necessities or just browsing through some new albums or the latest fashions, State College has just the right store. And after all that carousing around town, itts time to relax on the tradi- tional resting spot: the Wall. Stret- ching along College Avenue, the Wall provides a front-row view of downtown action. And who knows? You may like it so much that you could become a regular! - Leslie Weiss i An apple a day. .. Q Lifestyles 21 M

As winter sets in and many students curl up inside with their books, the Greeks step inside too - but they,re still active, still on their feet, dancing in the IFC Dance Marathon. As the sunshine creeps back, more activities spring up. Biggest is Greek Week, Beginning with the Phi Psi 500 and ending with the Sy Barash Regatta. Being Greek is almost an occupa- tion in itself. But it's fun and rewar- ding. And yes, some of us even manage to pull 4.0is while pledging. When you have so many brothers and sisters to help, you can accomplish just about anything. Whether youire a fraternity man or a sorority woman, a little sister or a big brother, a friend, a competitor or a spectator, the Greek life is a great one - indeed a learning experience and a life many of us will happily remember every time we think about I.
