Bidding Draws Nigh—
Final Tips Offered
Informal rushing closes at 9 p.m.
tonight. At that time invitations
to formal dinners will be issued.
Also begins a strict silent period
which lasts until 5 p. in. Saturday.
By 3 p. in. Friday, rushees must
have invitations to formal dinners
answered. This last formal party
is, without doubt, the most import
ant.
Rushees should remember that,
when they answer. Many will re
ceive more than one invitation. If
you, as a rushee, have not decided
upon rthe one house in whilv v y.ou
are interested, reply affh natively
to the two houses you would like
to join.
However, if you know which
house you would. like to join, an
swer only that house affirmatively.
That is being fair both to yourself
and to the house.
Contrary to popular rumors, it
makes - no difference whether you
accept the early or late party. Ac
cept the one which suits you bet
ter and be sure to state the time
you are planning to attend.
Sorority women will call for you
at the time you have designated.
Beware, though, of the house
that dons sheep's clothing and
soft-soaps you into attending their
party. Know what you want to
do!
After formal parties come the
preferential sheets. On these you
are asked to list the first three
houses insorder of your preference.
If you have only one preferenCe,
list only one: • When you list more
than one; be sure that you would
be satisfied to join the house .you
list second or third:
In other, words, do not join a sor
ority just for the sake of joining or
because Suzie is. Know what you
like about the members, know
whether you will be happy as a
sister, knoW if you will fit into the
group, and be sure you like the
other rushees. •
It's yoVi' • decision, • rushees, so
make it a wise one. •
