The freshman class arrived at the University of Evansville from all over the country to enter a brand new world — college. Not knowing what to expect, they hovered together thinking that they would find secur- ity together. But college turned out to be a pretty good thing as various activi- ties were planned to orient the new students. President Graves was in- troduced at the President ' s Convo- cation and later met the students at a reception. Union Board played their part by organizing Campus Chatter, which enabled the students to get a chance to talk to the cam- pus leaders. And an organizations fair was also held in the Union to interest students to sign up for the various activities and groups offer- ed at the U of E. A Rush of Activities 23

The freshman class arrived be- fore school to participate in RUSH. The sorority suites in Moore Hall were busy with parties with a cen- tral theme to entice the prospec- tive freshman women. The Phi Mu ' s decided on a cowgirl theme, the AOPi ' s a luau theme, the Chi O ' s had a Mary Poppins party, and the ZTA ' s party was in a world of toys. Meanwhile, the fraternities were also busy with their newly acquired policy of open rush. To start the activities, the TKE ' s held their an- nual lawn party where the new so- rority pledges were introduced. The Phi Tau ' s also contributed with their Road Rally and Out In The Coun- try Party. The Sig Hp ' s had their A Go-Go, which was another big hit as sorority pledges danced their way to a first place trophy on the roof of the fraternity house. The Lambda Chi ' s again held their Wa- termelon Bust where Jeannie Run- yon fit the form. And the SAE ' s held their Luau to complete the fra- ternity ' s rush activities for 1971.
