OING GREEK Rushees are greeted by Barbara Raines as they see the new Pi Phi house for the first time. FRANTIC WEEKS lead to happy endings as the 1987 Rush boasts the biggest pledge class ever! 12 Rush Over 300 shouting observ- ers watched as fourteen Delta Sigs formed a hu- man pyramid and as Sigma INu pledges jumped through the air, landing safely (?) in their new brothers ' arms. Songs and cheers were all a part of Fraternity Bid Pick-Up as 134 men pledged Stet- son ' s eight fraternities. Although approximately the same number of men rushed fra- ternities this year as last, a higher percentage pledged. This may be attributed to many changes, in- cluding more creative Rush parties with greater emphasis on the bene- fits of the over-all fraternity sys- tem. Under Geoff Timm, IFC Presi- dent, Stetson ' s fraternities enjoyed a year of high pledge retention, improved programming, and Rho Chi Cheryl Watier with Tracey Frick, Stacey Swanson, and Carmen Rajos. enthusiasm. This Fall ' s sorority Rush also boasted a large pledge class, due in part to sever- al changes in the Rush format. For the first time, sororities Rushed in their own houses, serving to enhance Rush parties and h eighten members ' excitement. Also, because of delays in construction of the houses, Rush was postponed one week. This allowed sorority members more time to prepare for their Rush par- ties and to meet individuals interested in rushing informally. Whatever the reasons, sorority Rush was a definite success this year. Al- though about the same number of wom- en participated in Rush this year as last, 27% more pledged a sorority. This trans- lated into 169 new pledges, the largest Panhellenic pledge class ever. Delta Sigma Phi reaches new heights. V

Q REENFEATHER G iving is a Greenfeather tradition, but this year ' s Greenfeather, held in late October, brought the spirit of giving to the forefront more than ever. Eleven charities including the Duval Home, the United Methodist Church, and the United Way, benefitted from the special week-long activities. As in the past, Greenfeather events included the Fund Run, the Rock-a- thon, creative Chalk Art on the sidewalks in front of the Union, the Talent Show, the outrageous Mr. Beauty Con- test, Miss Greenfeather con- test, the Olympic Events, and the popular Greenfeather Car- nival. Student winners includ- ed Chris Bennett, first place in the Fund Run, and Darald Stubbs, Mr. Beauty, 1987 , but the true winners were the charitable organizations who split over $17,000 in dona- tions. Representatives from each charity spoke at each activity this year, helping stu- dents and supporters to see Talent show participant Eric Owens. SUCCESS was the name of the game for 1987 Greenfeather! The Uncalled Four: Jeff Harris, Ben Jenkins, Carson Baker, and Greg Moon. The 1987 Greenfeather Rock a then was a great success. how their donations help those in need. As well as increasing charity visibility, Co-Chairmen Dana Boeckh and Jim Daughton set student und erstanding through involvement as one of their goals this year. One unique way they accomplished this was through a new program called the Readathon . Greenfeather staff members recognized that visually impaired and blind Stetson students, because Braille textbooks are unavailable, have their texts read to them. The Readathon, therefore, in- volved groups and individuals in reading necessary textbooks onto a tape for those in need. This year, enough texts were read for two semesters ' worth of material. Hopes are high to begin a li- brary of these materials for all interest- ed students to use. Sincere giving and hard work coupled with fun events and good times makes Greenfeather Week a hit every year. Special projects such as the Readathon made this year ' s Greenfeather unique in its generousity and scale. 14 Greenfeather
