It might be well for the greekettes
to remember when they gathered
yearly to hurl charges at each other over "dirty rushing" that it Is
largely a petty matter to everyone
but themselves. If they cannot get
together and form a sensible and
mature system, soon or late someone will have to do it for them.
The rushing season which ended
for sororities Saturday seems to
have been the most disagreeable
one yet to be experienced. In all
likelihood, intimations which wen-cas- t
by the various lodges, have not
yet been ironed out. Now is the
time for them to see to it that a
season such as the past one doe
not happen again.
While the rushing hangover persists, the lady greeks should use 11
as a timely alibi to change or at
least, enhance the present system.
That the events which were a part
of that system cannot continue year
after year to the best interest of
those sororities is a fact which
seemingly is before everyone but the
women concerned.

of convincing freshwomen that the

way to make your life beautiful was
to Join Sue Durnit Sue. The plundering patrols of Greeks and Independents who trudged up and down
the streets Friday night and Sun
day afternoon showed clearly that
you boys are not totally engaged in
getting an education.
The sorority house on these occasions was a specimen of happy
disorder. Packs of men wandered
in and endured a gauntlet of smiles
and greetings from the sorority's
choice captives. There was dance
music and giggles and people who
a minute ago were utter strangers,
like a college boy and the dictionary, but now are gayly swapping
compliments.
All the girl barns had a profitable
rush season. The actives, with that
"look what I've got" expression on
their faces, tugged little willing
frosh around and displayed them to
troops of eager fellows only too
glad to dance and be nice.
The Trldelts lassoed thirty-fopledges and looking at their tyros,
you no longer wondered why the
boys were standing in the street
outside the house. Inside was a
capacity crowd. This condition will
probably prevail all year. On the
courting menu the Tridelts offer
such tasty dishes as Susan Anderson, Ruth Stewart, Nell Pennington, Frances Flowers (beauty queen
at a Virginia school last year), Lillian Rhea (daughter of Governor
Chandler's opponent in the last
gubernatorial primary), Ann Pence,
Vi Crutcher, Sara Biggs, and Chicago's Mary Scott. The tornado of
pulchritude there delta hard blow
to a man's comfort and peace of
mind.

Every year sororities on the
pus come to blows with each other
and with their governing bodies
over violations of existing rusning
rules. Every year at least one lodge
is accused of using "dirty rushing"
tactics, and every year nothing has
been done about it other than the
application of a superficial reprimand or two.
The campus is getting bored with
the hulabaloo caused each September by the various "sisters" in the
hurling of accusations, grievances,
to
and outspoken denunciations
each other.
A more painful and complicated
rushing system than that used by
the sororities could hardly be devised. It begins with the opening of
the Bemester and ends two weeks
later, paralelling the most difficult
period of the freshman's entire col
lege life.
