Rushees hear the Mystic Gobool Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered As the nervously-smiling freshman girls and bewildered, beanied freshman boys converged upon Ole Miss for their first Taste of college life, they were immediately thrust into the tumultuous confusion of fraternity and sorority rush, a period of cajoling and lobbying that puts the national political conventions to shame. The girls arrived early this year for their first experiment with pre-school rush, and by the time the boys set in the girls were safely pledged, bubbling over with excitement and nervous energy. A week later the fraternities began sending scouting parties into the boys ' dormitories, smiling inanely and asking the time-worn question, Didja get your schedule worked out? Matters progressed from this subtle beginning to the grinding schedule of three nightly parties for three nights. Three nights in a row fraternity men stood on their feet for three hours, drank 7 cokes, shook 300 hands, smoked a pack and a half of cigarettes, then stayed up all night listening to impassioned pleas from the brothers on behalf of their own particular favorite. Rushees went to the parties, went back to their rooms, and wondered. When it was all over every fraternity and sorority had a pledge class, and a few rushees had broken hearts. Rush week comes but once a year. Thank God! Three girls make tappa keg of beer How long will this last?
