,X©OT[EM[E T, [HAFFDD ■ y. The first sign of a new school year is the annual pilgrimage of Greeks returning to their houses to start work week and make their preparations for rush week with all its pleasures and head- aches. Creeks, realizing their groups are depend- ent solely upon their recruitment, made every special effort to get their houses in the best physical condition, their members informed on rush procedure and everything ready for Septem- ber 6, which was the first day of 1961 rush. At left, Sigma Chis work on their back lawn during work week, between intervening meetings held to review names of rushees and practices for rush week. Delta Gammas, above, conclude one of the 16 openhouses every sorority rushee attends. :sp ■ ■ .
