SATURDAY, FEBRUARY: 9;' 1952
Spring
Begins
High' heels and party dresSes will. be diverted from fraternity
parties as they are donned by - coeds during the week and a half of
formal sorority rushing which begins Feb. 23.
Rushing this semester Will be open to second semester freshman
women with averages of 1.5 or better, and to upperclasswomen with
AlKollege averages of 1.0 or
e;-rules governing rushing
procedure are determined by Pan
hellenic Council, an organization
made pp of two representatives
froi z icli of the 19 sororities on
cal - Apia'. All of the sororities at•
they' college are chapters of na
tional t organizations.
• Wisest Choice
It, is important for prospective
rushees to enter rushing with an
open mind, according to Mary
Brewer, assistant to the dean of
Women, and Panhellenic Council
adviser. Miss Brewer emphasized
that it is advisable for a prospec
tive rushee to visit as many so
rorities as possible, rather than de
ciding beforehand on two or three
sororities in which she may be
interested.
Miss Brewer also said that the
wisest choice for a rushee to make
is the sorority with whom she
feels most at home.
Prospective rushees often find
the terms used during formal
rushing somewhat c o n f usin g.
Rushing itself is the term used to
describe the process by which a
sorority decides who first will be
come pledges of that particular
sorority.
Coke Dates
The formal pushing program
opens with a series of open houses,
at which times rushees visit the
different sororities in order to be
come acquainted with some of
their members. No invitations are
issued fbr open house.
The next phase of rushing is
coke dates. Sororities issue invi
tations to rushees to visit the So
rority suites in order to become
better acquainted with the sor
ority members.
All invitations are i s's ue d
through the Panhellenic post of
fice,. which will be located during
the coming rushing period in the
lounge of Women's Building. So
rorities turn in addressed invita
tions at the post office, where
sorority alumnae aid in sorting
the invitations and placing them
in envelopes. Each rushee then
picks up her envelope at the post
office.
Rushing Parties
After several days of coke dates,
at homes are held. The at homes
are similar to the open houses,
except that invitations are issued
for the former. By this time also
the rushee has become • better
acquainted with the sorority
members.
An invitation to an at , home,
whether it is accepted or declined,

is also an automatic invitation to
attend coke dates on succeeding
days. Sororities then send out
invitations to parties. Each soror
ity holds the same party for two
nights. Rushees• may attend the
parties of two different sororities
on succeeding nights, but may not
attend both parties given by one
sorority.
Formal rush i n g closes with
coffee hours, at which formal at
tire is worn. Each rushee may
attend no more than two coffee
hours.
Bidding and, Pledging
After the coffee hours, rushees
fill out cards on which they in
dicate the first and second choice
of the sororities they prefer to
join. Sororities turn in their bid
lists, or lists of the rushees they
have chosen, and the rushees'
cards are matched with the bid
list. The rushee is given her first
choice' if her name appears on
the list submitted by the sorority
of her first choice.
After a sorority has received its
list of acceptances, written bids
are placed under the doors of the
rooms Of the rushees who have
accepted that sorority's bid. A
member of the sorority then calls
for the rushee, and ribbons of
the sorority's colors are pinned on
her. Ribboning, as it is called,
identifies a coed as a prospective
pledge of the sorority whose
colors she wears. Formal pledg
ing generally takes place within
the next ten days. •
A meeting of all. coeds in
terested- in rushing' will be held
at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 18 in Schwab
Auditorium: Officers of Panhel
lenic Council and the Panhellenic
rush chairman will further ex
plain rushing at that time, and
will answer rushees' questions.
