year ' s Rush work, and wc have been slapped in the face by the fucuhy ' s decision. According to the predictions of IFC President Mark Farley, Rush under the SAC will probably take place ne xt September over a two week period. Farley said, Rush next year will be a little bit longer with more opportunities for the freshmen to get to know the upperclassmen. In addition, it has been suggested that freshmen in- itially delay their formal pledgeship until the be- ginning of second semester. Under this prop- osal, freshmen who received bids would part- icipate in their prospective fraternities as social members until their eight to ten week pledgeship commenced in January. It has also been sugges- ted that eligibility for pledgeship be contingent upon a mandatorv GP.A requirement. Opp. page right: Freshman Chris Boone learns what it means to tear.
