Rushing To Find A House: The Greek System hrives Fall rush is an exciting and hectic week. It is the first week before school starts and everything is new and for- eign, especially the system called Rush. Rushees are labeled with name tags that they are never supposed to take off during this one week. They are also armed with a Rush booklet and a PRC, Panhellenic Rush Chairman. The boys Rush system is also very organized, but does not get as involved because of the fewer number of boys. Rushees go through several rounds of parties that help them get acquainted with the personalities of each Greek house. After each round, the Rushees must wait in anticipation to see which house invited them back. Following the last night of parties, the Rushees write down which house they prefer. Bid Day is the next day when the Rushees find out which house has asked for them as a member. The enthusiasm and business 1 fp 1 of this makes it's name - RUSH - an ' X appropriate one.

12 Homecoming by Leslie Custer Homecoming . . . a time of tradition, of looking back . . . a time for the alum! ni's return, the crowning of the queen, the football game .. . a time of tradi- tion. But more than one tradition was broken this year, including the so-called losing tradition of TCU's football team. A new note of excitement was injected as the Frogs compiled a win- ning record in what was probably the longest winning streak in the school's history, and the Purple Pride was never more evident. Welcome Home signs appeared in every window, Wacker Clackers were evident all over, and the stadium was jammed with fans decked in purple and white. The Frogs continued their win- ning ways by defeating Baylor 38-28, and Kathy Sperry of Chi Omega and Rich Leonardo of Lambda Chi Alpha were crowned king and queen at half- time. In addition, Frog Follies was won by Chi Omega and Phi Delta Theta who also won overall homecoming. The ADfSigma Chi winning homecoming Hoat passes in front of viewers.
