Few sorority worn en look for friends outside Greek dom Expense involved in becoming a sorority member for four years could be put to more educational use. Problems arise about yrhich group to join. Panhellenic Cciun cil urges rushees who are uncer tain to wait until after formal rushing. If a house wants you it will be glad to wait until you decide. Time demanded by sororities land their activities take too much time from studies. After college the bond will be broken and time and money will have been wasted. There is a tendency for people to judge a coed by the house to which she belongs. Because only seniors may live in houges and because there are no dining facilities in houses, sor ority life mazy be considered a waste of time. Since it is impossible to live in the houses until the senior year, there is ample time to make friends outside the house. Many valuable friendships are formed throagh Greeks - and independents living together in dormitories. Much expense may be elimin ated by participating. only in sor ority activities - which the person desires. There •is certain satisfaction in knowing that you "belong" to a recozmized group. Through specially arranged programs, formal meetings, out side activities, sororities . have more than proved their education al as well as social values. - Character .and - personality are developed in each member. Houses see that each coed has a big sis ter within the house to guide her in college. Belonging to a house includes more than having sisters on cam pus. Throughout the United States there are chapters, hence interest and friendships are broadened. After graduation there is a def inite bond with the Alma Mater as well as with college women throughout the nation. Rushees Ask, `What To Wear?' Looming in every rushees' mind. is the same old question, what-to - wear? Most informal parties demand a classic wool or smart skirt aid swbater. Tailored silks are ac ceptable if freshmen want to brave the cold. Ever present sad dles and socks are overruled by silk stockings and high heels.
