ALLEN PHOTO Unpacking, buying textbooks and going through drop add kept students busy into a ool year PARTICIPANTS CLAIM WEEK-LONG GREEK RUSH ALLOWS STUDENTS TO MEET NEW FRIENDS BEFORE CLASSES BEGIN ♦ It was a dramatic transformation. In just hours, the Fayetteville campus made the transition from the lazy days of summer to the frenzy of fall semester. Summer jobs and vacations were over. Suddenly it was time for rush, football, classes and homework. More than 14,000 students arrived by car, bus and plane wondering just what happened to their summer vacations. As students struggled to unpack their belongings out of cardboard boxes, they were faced with the job of buying books and supplies and going through drop add. Within the first few days on campus, summer savings quickly dwindled. Some freshmen and sophomores inter¬ ested in pledging a fraternity or sorority participated in Greek Rush, a week-long event. Formal rush was good because I got a look at all the fraternities. But I didn ' t get a chance to really see what the houses were like on the inside. What they accomplished in four or five days could have been done in two. ♦ GREG WILLIS, freshman Rush starts off the school year reacquainting old friendships and starting lots of new ones. It is a lot of hard work and is very time consum¬ ing, but it ends up being very special and worth it in the end. ♦ MELISSA SWAN, junior Rush was a new and exciting experience. I made tons of new friends, and by Bid Day I had a new home with lots of sisters, love and sup¬ port. ♦ JENNIFER WARNER, sophomore At first, I was scared, but the more I met people I started to relax and have fun. ♦ SHANNON COMBS, freshman 6 Rush Settling In
