Academic Alternatives ciate themselves for the next tour years. We just try to get them out to socialize with everyone on their floors, whether by an ice cream so- cial or an intramural activity. Stereo- types are broken down when people socialize with one another. If they re- late to an individual on a social level, they will relate to them on other lev- els too, he said. Another type of activity that oriented students was sorority and fraternity rush. Rush involved a mu- tual selection process. A student de- termined the assets and detriments of a sorority or fraternity, and the fra- ternity and sorority did the same to the student. Approximately 600 girls partici- pated in sorority rush last fall,” said Jenni Thornberry, Panhellenic rush (chairman. A lot of girls will go through rush just to meet people, but by the end of the week, will want to pledge a sorority. Sorority rush presented a chance for girls to move into their dorms a week early and become oriented to UK's campus sooner than everyone else. Connie Smith, an undecided fresh- man had the opportunity to attend formal sorority rush, which allowed her to move into her dorm one week earlier than the other students. If I had to move in the same week as classes started, I couldn't have got J everything done. I got settled first, f before my roommate got there. When not involved in attending rush parties, Panhellenic provided ac- f- tivities where the girls could relax 4- and unwind from the hectic day. The activities that we plan during the evening or during breaks in the day just basically provide a relaxed atmosphere, and get the girls out of the dorm rooms, Thornberry said. This way, they can meet as many people as possible, away from a structured situation such as rush, Thornberry said. Fraternity rush, although much more informal than its sorority coun- terpart, provided a similar structure to orient students during their first weeks of school at UK. According to Lance Pierce, past In- trafraternity Council president, the first year of dry rush, or rush with- out the use of alcoholic beverages, surpassed everyone's expectations for success. We encountered no out- standing problems, either with the details of implementing dry rush it- self, or with individual chapter atti- tudes toward dry rush, Pierce said. Pierce also commented upon the benefits of an individual participating in fraternity rush. At UK, it's easy to be just one of the crowd. It's a shock to most people to find out they're just a small fish in a big pond, especially after having at- tended a smaller high school. A fra- ternity gives you direction, and gives you a good base from which you can work and expand your horizons in later college years, Pierce said. Whether involved in dorm life, or a sorority or fraternity, UK provided more than just an academic atmo- sphere in which an individual could grow and realize his or her potential. Not everything you learn comes out of the classroom, Smith said. —Julie Schmitt First Week 19
