The Greek Way
Oregon’s 37 Greek houses will be putting on their best
show today and all of next week for the benefit of a very im
portant group, the University’s new students. Some 850
freshmen and transfer students are expected to sign up for
rushing, which starts today for women and Monday for men.
For the bewildered new student, rushing is too often a
tense, almost frightening experience. Will they like me? Am
I wearing the right thing? Did I say something wrong? But
rushing is a trial period that works two ways, and the
rushees are sometimes unaware of this fact.
The Greeks are just as much on trial today and next
week as are the rushees. In this short period they must sell
the newcomers on their way of living, try to convince near
strangers that they are the ones to live with for the next ;
three years and somehow convince the ones they select
that their house is the “right” house.
Rushing is also a period of lightning decisions, when mem
bers are asked to accept or reject men and women they can
only know slightly and when rushees must make the decision
that will effect their entire college career. The choices are
never easv.
The Greek houses at Oregon deserve careful consideration
by the new students during this rushing period. They have
much to offer. Many of the University’s finest students, in
cluding athletes, campus leaders and scholars, are members
of Greek houses.
Fraternities and sororities reflect a way of living that is
geared to the campus environment. They offer the new
student companionship and a second home, general head
quarters for college life from which come good times,
scholastic help and personality training.
The Greek way of living is not always the gracious way,
however, and some students may feel that it is not suited to
their particular personality. Greeks, upon occasion, reflect
some of the less pleasant aspects of college life—noisy par
ties, clannishness, perhaps even snobbishness. Some may
think the Greek way superficial. But Greeks aren’t the only
ones on campus who are noisy or snobbish, nor do all Greeks
fit into this category.
The decision must come from the individual rushee. Greek
or independent? Large house or small? The most important
„ thing for the new student to remember is that the whole
process of rushing is a two-way trial period. The house he
likes will probably like him. At any rate, the Greek way of
. living deserves the attention of new students during the
coming rush week.
