- GOLDILOCKS AND THE TWELVE BEARS
Everyone should know the story of Goldilocks and the Twelve
Bears Goldilocks, of course, is the freshman rushee who will be so
much in evidence the next ten days The Twelve Bears aren't so
bad as they sound—they're really only twelve sororities
When the fairy story Goldilocks met up with her bears, she had
a choice to make The Big Bear's porridge dish, chair, and bed were
large and impressive The Middle-Sized Bear's were attractive and
desirable But Goldilocks ended her adventure asleep in the Little
Bear's Bed She didn't pick that bed because it was impressive She
chose it because it was comfortable—because she could fit in.
Our Gold'locks will have the same problem, only this time these
are twelve bears Any one or them—big, middle-sized, and 'Mic—
has advantages And, while it may seem foolish to go back to a fairy
story for a pattern, she too will do well to chose a sorority because
she is comfortable—because she fits in.
Grandma Says
If Goldilocks had a Grandma, she would probably remind her of
many things in the next ten days She would warn her not to judge
a house by someone else's opinion, but by her own She would say
choose a house wisely and don't be swayed by any "lead-piping" sales
talks or "sob stories" She would warn that sororities that resort to
such rushing tactics are only covering up weaknesses And she would
shake her finger and say Granddaughter, whatever you do, sidestep
the quality of an "easy" rushee—that of being gullible
Not all freshmen will be rushed, Grandma would go on, and not
Al freshmen want to be rushed Those who aren't rushed are not,
contrary to what anyone thinks, lost souls If they choose to remain
independent of any sorority alliance, it is their choice and a com
mendable one Sororities are not all of campus life, they are only a
minor part
Grandma would grin a little toothlessly and add If you're look
ing for the key to campus activities, you won't find it it any sorority
house In spite of any promises they may make, the only position a
sorority can guarantee a pledge is on next rushing season's clean-up
committee
' A rushee's part is not entirely passive; there are many things
you can do to help, Giandma would offer seriously. Dangling three
or four houses on the string Just to see how many bids you can get
is pure selfishness Not only is it hard on the house, but a belt of
soi °ray scalps is not going to impress anyone for very long So, if
you know a house well enough to realize that you will not consider
it, common courtesy demands that you do not go on accepting Its in
vitations The house can welt use its time.and effort on someone
nho is interested
Her final bit of advice might be if you can afford a sorority,
consider it If you can't, for heaven's sake don't ask your mother to
so without a new washing-machine so you can have a jewelled pin
Sororities are luxuries, she would nod wisely, no Matter what anyone
tells you during rushing season
Non-Credit Photo Course No fee will be charged, but a
personal camera is required Reg
istration will be held in 306 Hor-
A new non-credit course in gen:
ticulture building from 3 to 5 Wed
meneral photography for upperclass
