Transcript | Rushee Linda Bates is the center of attention as an Alpha Chi Omega enumerates the benefits of her sorority, left. Coeds anxiously await the official beginning of rush week as Panhellenic officers file in for the convocation, below. Terry Spencell, Kyle Vick and Jimmy Disch introduce the fraternity system to rushees through pamphlets and posters, below. - Annual Rush Rituals, Recruit Over 200 Pledges 210 For many, rush opens the door to everlasting friendships and pleasant experiences; for others it is a time of indecision and reflection. Beginning with the rushee convocation, over 250 women and 150 men participated in formal rush last year. For two days of open houses, independents viewed skits, scrapbooks and activities, while members scrutinized applications, recommendations and prospective pledges. Periods I, II, and III consisted of individual parties by invitation. On the third day, each rushee listed his choice of those Greeks whose preferential he had attended. Bids were picked up the following day. Influenced by Hawaiian Luaus and promised beer busts, 162 women and approximately 40 men joined the Greek way of life at the end of rush week. Bob Murphy, Linda Stramblad and Hank Coryell talk Greek at a Delta Chi Rush party. 211 |
