Sound just a bit too scholarly, even for TU? Well, it isn't. Not when you consider that one-third of the student population at TU is active in Greek societies. Perhaps Plato wasn't thinking of fraternities when he conceived the idea of his republic, but then again, most students aren't looking for Utopia either. My immediate concerns were to make friends and 12 Rushed meet people. Now that I've been in it for a while, I've gotten more than that out of it, says Val Wilson. What better time to discover which house suits your particular need than during formal rush? For guys this isn't as much of an ordeal. During fraternity rush, guys are allowed to leave campus, go shopping, or even phone home if they so desire. Each day they at- tend a series of walk through par- ties at the different fraternities, and then, basing their decisions on the guys they've met and stories they've heard, these men decide which house is right for them. Anyone seeking proof of chau- vinism need search no further. Fe- male rushees check into their rooms in Lottie on Saturday of Rush Week, not realizing that as they quickly usher their adoring family members out the door, that brief goodbye, Mom, goodbye, Dad, I love you, too, will be their last contact with security for a week. From then they are literally rushed with campus, rush and so- cial activities. And, incidentally, somewhere in all this hectic frenzy, rushees are expected to find the house that's right for them. But, believe it or not, rush is not the only aspect of Greek life. Every year Greeks participate in a series of activities, including dances, philanthropies, Monday night din- ners, and meetings, etc. continually striving to improve themselves.
