Rush Shortened.

The five-week rush period
scheduled for this year is the
shortest one in recent years at the
University. This makes it necessary
for more events to be scheduled
into each week of rush, but will
lessen the overall insecurity of a
long rush.

During the ensuing rush period,
the rushee will attend various
houses for smokers, dinners and
lunches, along with the weekend
fraternity parties. Aside from
meals, all rush events will occur on
Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

Personal contact is one of the
advantages of fraternity life that
comes out most clearly in rush.
Each fraternity man will try to
meet each rushee and vice-versa.
Both fraternities and rushees must
choose by Bid Sunday who shall
join what houses.

Both rushees and fraternity men
should read and pay close attention
to the rushing rules established by
the IFC. Failure to observe the
rules costs the fraternities a sizable
sum of money and can bar the
rushee from pledging the fraternity
of his choice.
