"They give you a label. There are very bad feelings against Greeks on campus. " One of the biggest per petrators of anti-fraternity senti ments on campus, says Stephens is the Emerald. “If they have to write an article about the Greeks, they aren’t going to do their very best job,” he says. A by-product of this qeneral anti-Greekness, say Phi Kappa Psi Steve Beard, is a boosting of the Greeks own self-image. “You tend to look down on people who aren’t Greeks,” he says. “We tend to see ourselves as superior.” Other disadvantages listed were fraternity - sorority parties ("superficial at times”), damage to reputations ("stories can spread really fast, even if they aren’t true") and privacy (“there isn’t much”). Other problems are specific to individual houses, such as Sigma Chi s fear that potential members will pledge because of the attractiveness to their house (“it's a showcase") rather than because of the member’s per sonalities, or Delta Upsilon’s has sles with entertaining on a $450 per term budget as opposed to the larger houses, which have budgets that Prior estimates at “over $2000.” Getting In As in sororities, the word used to describe the entrance process German AUTO SERVICE 40t VOLKSWAGEN <bl/ & MERCEDES DATSUN A TOYOTA EXPERT WORKMANSHIP AND SAVINGS 2045 FRANKLIN BLVD.

Why no, I’ve never been there. Jesus, that was dose.) There are two kinds of rush, formal and informal. Fall Formal Rush starts four days before new student week. Comprised mostly of freshmen, the “rushees” visit all 12 houses during the first two days of rush, or as many houses as they wish to see—no one is forced to do any thing. On the third day, the “rushee” returns to four of the houses that issued him invitations to return and participates in any activities they may have planned. On the fourth day he visits just three houses; his favorites. From this point the set-up mir rors sororities—the “rushee” lists his three favorite houses in order of choice. The preferences of the“rushee” are then matched up with the bids of the houses, the results are released and the “rushees’’ move in and become pleges. Informal rush continues for the entire nine-month school year. A person who wants to be rushed informally signs up at the IFC of fice. His name is then put on a rush list which is distributed to all of the fraternities. From that point it is up to the individual houses to contact the rushees and invite them over. England bans Shirley Temple (CPS/ZNS) — The Good Ship Lollipop has been sunk in Eng land. Britain’s Independent Broad casting Authority has announced that all of Shirley Temple’s films have been ruled unsuitable for showing on television to English children.
