from 6-8:30 p.m. Sunday, and • 8
a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday in the Ath
erton lobby. There is a $1 registra

Many Coke Dates
Because the rushees meet few
actives at the crowded open
houses, as many coke date invi
tations as possible should be
answered, according to Miss Le

ways involve drinking cokes are
informal meetings between soror
ities and rushees.
Invitations will be issued
through the Panhellenic post of
fice for the Tuesday through Fri
day coke dates. Regular school
clothes may be worn to them.
The rushee should select about
four sororities to continue visiting
at the "at homes" on Sept. 23, Miss
Levitt said.
Parties and coke dates also will
be held during the second week of
rushing.
Coffee Hours
Formal coffee hours will take
place Sept. 26. Each rushee may
attend only two affairs. On the
next day, the rushee will sign
preferential cards in the Dean of
Women's office. Rushees will be
ribboned on Sept. 27.
Informal rushing will begin a
short time after formal rushing
ends. There are no planned par
ties or entertainments. During
the informal rushing period
rushees will have an unlimited
time to choose a sorority. A sec
ond formal rushing program will
begin in the spring.
_ Contacts between the rushees
and the sororities will be _wade
through the Panhellenic post of
fice which will be located in Ath
erton. Rushees will pick up invi
tations for coke dates, coffee hours
and "at homes" there.

the suites during the hours pre
scribed in the schedule.
