mega Psi Phi, Alpha Xi
Lead Scholarship List
• Omega Psi Phi and Alpha Xi Delta had the highest scholastic
averages, among Penn State's fraternities and sororities, according to
statistics released recently by the Dean of Admissions' office.
Omega Psi Phi's average of 2.12 and Alpha Xi Delta's average
of 2.09 were both well above the all-fraternity average of 1.52 and
the sorority average of 1.88.
Although women are outnumbered by men on campus they make
up for this in the scholastic de
partment. Both independent and
sorority women established higher
academic averages than did inde
pendent and fraternity men. Sor
ority women rated highest with
an average of 1.88, followed close
ly by independent women with
1.65. Fraternity men followed
with an average of 1.52 and inde
pendent men were last with an
average of 1.29.

Frosh 'Never Had It So Good'
By PEGGY McCLAIN
Remarks on freshman cus
toms took an about-face this
year! The freshmen are com
plaining about them, as usual,
but Freddie Frosh says they
aren't being enforced enough!
Back in 1914, freshmen couldn't
run fast enough or far enough
away from customs. Not only did
new women on campus have to
wear green hairbows (customs
dress of old) for SIX weeks, but
freshman gentlemen were forced
under green dinks for their en
tire first semester.
Lucky frosh women could date
from the word go, but their poor
be-dinked companions couldn't
even speak to a female until they
were "second semester." With
one exception. They could sign
up to escort a coed to a fraternity
party, and they could talk to
them at church mixers—with an
other exception. They had to hire
a "dependable" upperclass cohort
to take their girls home. (Im
mediately following the 1914 in
flux of freshman women on cam
pus, church mixers boasted an
amazing increase in attendance.

of dating thrust on frosh women,
their mingling habits have ed
vanced considerably over those
of their predecessors. Back in
"those days," every six couples ,
had to be accompanied by a chap
erone.
Some customs details haven't
changed much since 1914, but
have merely grown less rigid. In
past years, frosh had to stand up
whenever an upperclass man or
woman or faculty member en
tered a room, and heaven help
the poor freshman who preceded
same through a door!. Even then
the "new ones" couldn't walk on
any front campus grasp, and al
though no freshman man could
smoke in public, frosh had to
carry matches at all times.
Penalties Humiliating
Poster Night was a big night in
those early postwar days. No one
seems to know any more just
where the term came from, but it
meant the end of customs. But
men still had to hang on to their
dinks, and had three more months
of no-dating ahead of them.
Penalties for customs violations
were as . humiliating as could be
managed. Violators had to wear
huge placards, on which were
printed such statements as "I
did . . ." or "I am . . ." These mis
guided frosh were eligible for the

the sophomores decided they
should do.
One placarded fellow had to
propose on his knees to the first
twelve coeds he met on campus!
Maybe this year's frosh and the
upperclassmen of old had some
thing at that! There's no doubt
that customs regulations are
open to all sorts of additions!
