The Inter-sorority Council had a most successful year in its capacity of co-ordi- nator and regulator of matters of common interest to all sororities Its principal task during the first semester was the organiza- tion of the rushing program. An innovation this year was the assessment of a $1 00 rushing fee for all rushees. This sum was equally divided among the sororities to de- fray rushing expenses. The second semester was high-lighted by the annual ISC dance held in the Union on February 11. This year, the dance was entitled ' Cupid's Cavern. A rewarding help-week was due in a large part to the co-operative planning of the council. Regarding next year's rushing pro- gram, a new quota system has been de- vised and it is thought to be more fair than the present one. The new system will work, in the following manner: the total number of girls out for rushing plus the number of girls in sororities will be divided by five; how short of that quotient each house falls will be its quota. This year's ISC officers were: Harriett Bruckman. president; lanice Hume, vice- president; Sandra Syman, secretary and Betty Trinrud treasurer 2 I

Inter-fraternity Council Standing Rogor Gorton rich, Dorman Rood, Dick Died rich Paul Kegel, Noil Barber Seated: Joe Mazanotz, Sherwood House, Patrick Shannon, Ron Berger Jim Howard. The Inter-fraternity Council started the year on a completely new basis by laying the plans for a far more constructive pledg- ing program. It was considered that simply by providing the pledges with a hell week little was being done toward the solidifica- tion of the new fraternity members with their organization. Consequently, a help week was provided during which the pledges from the various Greek organizations per- formed useful services for the community. At the end of help week, the Inter-fraternity Council organized a dance for the pledges and all those who attended had a wonder- ful time. The officers for this year were Pat Shannon, president; Ron Berger, vice-presi- dent; Sherwood House, secretary Jim Gear, treasurer We hope that next year's council will meet with as much success in all its activi- ties as the 1955-56 council has. 20
