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.

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.

“Strike a V” • • • Symbol of Spirit Strike a V was the cry heard across campus, at pep rallies, at football games all year long. It is the new symbol of the school spirit at UH. It stands for the enthusiasm present in the student body. It is a password of pride and symbol of victory over intercollegiate foes. And it stands for Varsity V.” Early in September, 1963, a new club was formed. A number of male students working on Kitten Kickoff joined together to promote school spirit (and perhaps try some spirit 90-proof.) Their symbol soon became heard all over campus, and by the first football game the symbol had been appropriated by the entire student body. Strike a V” is destined to become a cry as famous as that of any other school . . . a cry symbolic of our school spirit. Strike a V it the cry . . . and Varsity V member thow their school tpirit. Wonder what they're saying. Pep rallies were instrumental in spreading the sy'ool across campus. “Varsity V members strike a V at the Homecoming pep rally.
