This is a Pi Kappa Alpha rush skit. It is a good skit, as a few good tricks to get rushees. One never knows who one the Pikes have practiced it many years. Every fraternity has will get, however. Sometimes one does not get anyone. Ask Pike. Fall of 1962 brought to the Greeks the biggest rush in campus history. Led by Paul Berry, they did the best they could to follow him. He led them through tours, skits, returns, and the final night of de¬ cisions and phone calls. It was a week when some felt confident, and some knew they were culls, but most wore white shirts, and smiles, and their hearts on their sleeves. An unusual number of boys old enough to know better sweated and cried and hugged each other. Ihe fraternities issued a record number of bids, and pledged a record number of men. Despite threats from the independent machine, strange medieval banners appeared before the Student Union, and the Greeks took in brothers to guarantee the immortality of their system for another year. The im¬ mortals were celebrated in song by Paul Berry, whose songs were not well received at the Pi Phi house. Pi Phis are also im¬ mortal, as their house is next door to Sigma Chi. Sigma Chis are immortal as they are in great numbers pinned to Chi Omegas. Chi Omegas were founded here. Many independents do not understand the Creeks. Many Greeks do not understand each other. This is the beautiful mystery °f rush week. Even the most cold-hearted rushers admit that rushees are wonderful. They laugh a lot, cry a little. This is Cy Robinson, not a rushee. Why the hell is he here? 27

You Win Some And You Lose Some Artistic photographer gets shot every year through door of Kappa Sigma house. Rushee in picture is Guy Watkins, who will pledge elsewhere. Who knows what they are talking about? Next year there will be another artistic photo. Perhaps Kappa Sigs will be clever enough to pledge subject, avoiding bad publicity. Some rush skits were clever and used funny costumes. Top photo does not show one of these. Girls below were clever and had enough sense not to let photo catch them in funny costumes. 28
