rushees who receive no bids are
an extreme minority.
If more than to women are
shut out of the sorority system,
rush organizers place them in
houses, but no one expects this
to happen, according to Mills
Once a house accepts a rushee
as a pledge, the next step is the
initiation ritual when the house
formal I v accepts a person as a
full-fledged member Initiation
usually takes place during
winter term The word "initia
tion" as used in the ('.reek
system has an intimidating con
notation. Stories of hazing come
to mind iiark. secret, and
sadistic ceremonies Mazing is
fast becoming another relic
though, along with the booze-it
up rushes, according to Greek
leaders.
"It (hazing) dews go on, but
not to the extent it used
to you have to ask yourself at
every activity, is it for the
pledges or is it for the member*.
If it’s for the members it’s
wrong, and you've got to
Change it." said Frichette.
Membership in the Greek
system entitles one to take part
fn a semi-exclusive series of
social events Sorority house
dances, the annual bam dance
with the (owboy motif and road
trips north to Black Hulte or
south to Lake Shasta, to name a
few Many houses turn their
social events into charity fund
raisers. For Instance, the pro
ceeds from the annual I’si Sy
smoker, an interfraternity Imx
ing match, go to the March of
Dimes.
Most people join the Greek
system for the social life, said
Frichette "If you don't go
Creek, it's tough to get a group
living experience." In' said.
"The Greek system does offer
something that a lot of other col
lege organizations don't, it's
not just four years, it's a
lifetime." said Mills.
The cost of living in a house
averages between $2130 to
$2985 a year, and includes
meals and house dues
Members not living in the house
pay from $20 to $100 a month
fraternity and sorority life is
not for everybody though Peo
ple who find life behind the
Greek curtain not to their liking
can "depledge."
Some within the Greek
system complain about the
system's affect on people
"People are so into the Greek
system and think that that’s
what lifts's all about on this
campus .they have an identi
ty within it where they arts af
firmed over and ovtsr again I'm
|oe Si hinoe and I'm an SAK and
I'm cool and I'm a big fish in a
little pond, and when they get
out of the Greek system and into
the real .vorld they're a very
small fish in a big pond, and
they haven't had the opportuni
ty to gel out and see what this
campus is all about." said
frichette
The Greek system has
undergone a strong revival
throughout the nation Several
chapters have opened up new
houses on the campus, so many
in fact that Greek leaders are not
allowing any more houses on
campus, to give the recent ar
rivals time to put out roots

ALS of certified tutors who have met the tutorial program's certification standards * In addition, these tutors have agrood to
adhere to ALS's policies regarding scheduling and rates
