Mrs. Nancy Vanderpool, assistant to the dean of 'women, remarked yesterday that the advantage of the fall rush p In comparing the spring a Sororities To Extend Open Bids Eight sororities will parti- cipate in an open bid rush period which will extend through this week to Nov. 14. All women who were regis tered to rush during the informal rush period are eligible to accept an open bid.

Before a woman is extended a bid, the sorority must submit her name to 129 Grange the day be fore the bid is issued. A rushee is given seven days to accept or regret each bid she receives.

This indicates that in oropor tion to the amount of time spent on the fall rush, the benefit. as far as gaining pledges, is small." Of the 295 women wh•o regis tered for the fall rush, 28 dropped out after the first week of chat ter dates. 16 after the second week and 41 the night of preferential listing. The total number of drop outs was 85 women or 23 per cent of those rushing. The night of preferentials, 58 per cent of those women who did not drop out of rush signed a first choice as well as a sec ond choice. Of the rushees who didn't drop out of rushing and signed a preferential list. 74 per cent received bids from the sorority of their first or second choice. In sorority rushing, the first choice of the rushee is matched with the first choices of the sor ority .If these lists are not filled, the first choice of the rushee is then matched to the second list of the sorority. I,i this way. the rushee's preference takes precedence over the sorority's listings. Nineteen sororities participat ed in the fall rush program. Of the 226 vacant openings in these sororities, 154 places were filled. Eleven sororities filled their quota of pledges and two sor orities completed their mem berships with the exception of one or two women. The student counseling program was a sucess with many women taking advantage of the service, Mrs. Vanderpool said. The Pan hellenic Council hopes to extend this counseling for the foilnal spring rush. The cfiunseling program, which was started during the formal spring rush last semester, is made available to all rushees. Sorority, women, who yield their sorority identity for the duration of the . rush period, act as counselors. The rushees are aided with their prob lems and decisions concerning rushing.
