Pios And Cons Of
Joining A Sorority
Sororities limit friendships to a
small group. 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.
Costumes ,are not worn unlss in
vitations so specify.
As Panhellenic Handbook re
commends, it is not the price paid
for clothes but how and when
