On Rush Week, Pledging
The most popular introductory phrase on campus, "And what's
your major?" lapsed into obscurity for another year as jittery
■co-eds entered the house of their choice for pledge ribbons at an
early breakfast.
It eased the whole situation to be greeted at the door with
.shrieks of those so recently freed from the strain of house clean
ing, room decorating and selling themselves. The impressive
contentment of preference night had changed into nail biting
anguish for prospective pledges. The noise seemed to soothe the
■wobbling knees. (Besides, what is more highly recommended
by psychology books than screaming to release an emotion?)
{unless it is plate-throwing.)
Looking back over rush week, it fades into a maze of chit
chat, recommendations, new friends, discussion, evaluation,
counseling, heart break, laughter and confusion.
The rushers knew what they wanted—the problem was to spot
potential quickly and bring it out. Every rushee was a pros
pective rusher herself. How will she impress other people? Will
she fit in? Is she sincere? Does she go out for activities, grades
or titles?
And the rushees—what do they want in a house? Is it social
standing? Big name? Companions? Just follow their friends?
The answers to “Why did you rush?” are as numerous and
as varied as the rushees themselves. They include the above
replies with emphasis placed according to the person. It al
ways comes back to the individual.
The slightest courtesy extended a rushee—many times un
wittingly—often is flie deciding factor in choosing a house.
Rushing is a period of adjusting. With the 17 varieties offer
ed women, one might believe rushing is a time of learning more
about yourself in order to determine where you fit.
But in the handbooks, and from Panhellenic officers, the ad
-vice counselors are "advised" to give—the answer is rush and
pledge. Get the pledge pin and then adjust seems to be the ortho
dox way into the Greek world.
From all this, it might be surmised that collegians can be
happy and well-adjusted anywhere if they try. This includes
in the Greek circle if they choose to pledge, or out of it, if they
do not.
It adds up to the fact that if rushing is considered unimportant
•enough to be thrown in with orientation—-as a sidelight—it
should be cut down to appropriate size in the eyes of incoming
freshmen.—(P.G.)
