Sororities Pledge 81 Eighty-one girls pledged the six national sororities on campus amid laughter and tears. During registration week, excited rushces found fun, excitement and exhaustion during four days of parties . . . parties all day long. Sorority members had skit practices, worked on decorations and planned for rush for weeks before the actual time arrived. Parties were held Thursday through Saturday before classes began, and bids were extended on Monday night. Then rushces became pledges and embarked upon a new experience in college, finding new friends and a place on campus in the process. It's variety how time for ruihco at Zota Tau Alpha' parly.

Fraternities Start Year With Rush Convocation formally opened rush for fraternities. Three days of open houses followed, during which rushccs and members met and became acquainted. Friday night parties were by invitation only, and bids were extended on Saturday morning. New pledges then began to learn about their chosen groups. Eleven national fraternities are on the UH campus. They all have houses at which they hold rush parties, as well as parties with sororities and date parties. Delta Chi Sweetheart Jann Alford shows members and rtishees to the food. Quite an informal approach is used by Phi Kaps to discuss the aims of their fraternity. 22
