Seventeen Fraternities Get 306 Men,
At $14.86 Each, In Week Of Rushing
By JOHN ED PEARCE
Seventeen fraternities ended rush
week Saturday night, having spent
more than four thousand dol'ars
and seven days and nights pledging
306 boys to lodges wfiich will cost
each of them, in the ensuing four
years, some four hundred dollars
above ordinary college expenses.
Sunday morning pledge lists in
the downtown papers, however,
carried the loot boasts of only eight
of the clans, and to date, four of the
groups have not made public any
definite lists of new boys, saying
that the lists are not complete.
The fact that so many of the fraternities have not yet made known
their lists of pledged men, the very
fact that they have not yet completed satisfactorily their rushing
period, is indication of one almost
certain fact the fraternities on
the campus have not been helped
out any by the new order of things,
war, draft and defense industry.
Hardest hit of all the campus
greeks were the smaller groups, who
had fewer legacies, less rushing capital, fewer men to rush with. The
big six came out as well as ever, and
two of them claimed an even better year than last. The fraternities
rushed lots of men. One group is
reported to have had four hundred
men on the ru&h roster at the start
of the week, another two hundred.
Usual sired rush class was about
eighty.
HOW WELL
It is always difficult to tell just
how well a fraternity did on its
rushing week, lor the fraternity
man has not been found who would
admit (1) that they had a bad week,
(2)

that they are in shaky financial

shape. (3) that they were scoped
by a rival lodge, or 4) that did
not do as well as last year. Pag
liaccic smiles and loud boasts of
quality instead of quantity always
cover up for too few men, and are
an infallible clue to the fact that
they did not collect.

Nor can pledge lists be regarded
seriously, since they are always
padded upon publication
with
names of old rushees, left over because of financial or scholastic
boys, or
weakness, or
John Doe creatures, that will make
It appear that they cleai.ed up. The

whom 27 were new ones, giving
