The bus trips, sponsored by the Interfraternity Council, enable the rushees to become acquainted with the members of each fraternity.
Record Number in Fraternity Rush
In this Centennial school year, the University of Kentucky reached an all time high in the number of fraternity hopefuls. More than eight hundred rushees toured the fraternity houses during the formal rush ceremonies this fall.
The larger number of prospective pledges added greatly to the yearly scene of confusion and exhaustion always prevalent at this time. Essentially, it was the same grid of parties, hand shakes and smiles; but for each rushee, it-held its own particular significance. However, in the end, to be a fraternity man seemed the most important thing in the world to each rushee.
