Have you ever smiled so much that you thought your mouth would crack? If you ever went through the game of rush, then it is most certain that you have. Some of the smiles are fake, some legitimate. Nevertheless, the fall term began a week early for tliose brave students participating in Greek rush. Ten sororities and eight fraternities participated in rushing coUegiates for their respective chapters. Usual questions were, ' ' What ' s your major, what ' s your classification, where are you from, and what did you do this summer? Hands were pumped, songs were sung, skits acted, punch drunk. Certs were chewed, days were long and nights longer, and it ended before an exodus to the infirmary was needed from worry and lack of sleep. After sorority bids were received, late as usual, the girls ran through the mass of boys that always wait to see what sororities the girls pledged. There was more singing, more handshaking, more hugging and, naturally, more food for the now pledges. When fraternity boys picked up bids on Sunday, it was all over. Most felt that tliey had completed at least one year of school. Some had heartbreaks, but most lived through the experience with happy thoughts, decked with ribbons or pins. The total count of the group pledged was 424. Delta Gammas enact My Fair Lady, for rushees. Rushees form a moving mass as they move from party to party. ;, . ' fi uEKktf ' fiit - - 20
