Social Rush Provides Week Fall Social Sorority Rush was both a time of excitement and anticipation for all the women involved. The week began Sunday, with an informal tea acquainting the pro- spective pledges with each social sorority: Alpha Xi Delta, Gamma Phi Beta, Phi Mu. Monday evening followed with informal parties, where each of the three social sororities entertained the Rushees with skits and refreshments. The Parties began at six o'clock with Gamma Phi Beta, where they presented their own version of Chorus Line. At seven o'clock it was off to Fanta-Xi Island with the sisters of Alpha Xi Delta, complete with Mr. Rourke and Tattoo. Finally at eight o'clock it was back to the roaring 20's and Pinky's Place with flappers and Phi Mu. All week there was somewhere for the Rushees to go. The formal parties were held on Tuesday for Gamma Phi Beta, Wednesday for Alpha Xi Delta, and Thursday for Phi Mu. As each day passed it brought more tension and nerves for each of the three social sororities. Then finally there came Friday after- noon and relief. Gut of the 46 women who had signed up for formal rush, 26 signed preference cards and received bids. Altogether between formal and open rush, 30 new women pledged the sororities. :-VLA aw ia., I W s f sk Andra CML Rourke? Creed and Rhonda fTattooj Blair tell rushees about life on Fanta-Xi Island.
