Rush, Find
The Truth

Once again, on the'eve of dorm
visits, the Cavalier Daily editorial
staff has begun its "annual fall
ritual. Don't Rush. Don't Pledge"
campaign. By now, fraternity members
are used to this new C.D.
tradition.

The attack on the fraternity
system may be justified in part. But
your terribly one-sided stunt and
gross generalizations are both unpalatable
and unjustifiable. While
you devote one small token paragraph
to the pros of fraternity life,
the rest of the editorial is presented
in gospel form with the hope that it
will be swallowed as such by all
first-year students.

Gather all the facts- then write
your article. Let the first-year men
(and women) find out the pros and
cons of fraternity life for themselves,
objectively.

Maybe don't pledge- but rush
and find out the truth.
