The Daily Collegian Thursday, Sept 1,1988 Rush mixer provides overview By JENNIFER SALVATO Collegian Staff Writer Hundreds of University men crowded through the doors of the HUB Ballroom, floor maps and Brotherhood fraternity guide books in hand, as the Interfratemity Council and representatives from 54 fraterni ties officially launched rush with an informal mixer Tuesday night. Steve Target, IFC rush coordina tor, said the mixer’s purpose was to gather all the fraternities together in one place and give men who plan to rush an “objective overview.” With 54 fraternities participating in formal rush at the University this year, Target said the education proc ess must begin somewhere. Target estimated 1,500 University men interested in rushing walked through the ballroom doors during the two-hour mixer. Attendance has not experienced significant decline since rush went dry in Spring 1987, he said. “We start on a broad scale with an orientation. The mixer brings it down a little,” Target said. Informality detracted from the function, though, according to one rush official. *********************** i 2KN | "Dedicated to being a /amity." J Rush BBQ Thursday 7:00-9:30 J Jm Shin ICouse 120 U>.

College Ave. State College 238-5484 “A rush mixer is a good idea, but it could be handled a little bit different ly,” said Scott McMullen, rush chair man for Sigma Nu, 340 N. Burrowes Road. “If it were more formal, it would be better organized and people could understand each fraternity a little better.” During open bouse which began last night and ends tonight the field is narrowed again when each rushee visits the fraternity house of his choice, Target said. Members of several fraternities said open houses are a good introduc tion to life at each individual organi zation. “Visiting the house gives rushees a chance to see people as they actually are in their home environment,” said Pete Olsen, a brother at Pi Kappa Alpha, 417 E. Prospect Ave. After open house, more individual effort is required on the part of the fraternity and the rushee, Olsen said. Mark Schnurman and Seth Weissman, both brothers at Alpha Epsilon Pi, 225 E. Foster Ave., said joining a fraternity has made the University a smaller place to live in and helped them meet a closer group of friends. 7ft FACNCH CONNCCTION ree separate pieces to build your ouua Butter soft lambsuuool knit.
