Open House Tour Termed a Success
"I heard several of the freshmen say they were happy for the opportunity to see each of the sorority houses this spring. We active sorority members feel we know the challenges faced and we rush week a better social event," said Janice Manuel, college junior, president of Panhellenic.
The sorority open houses for over 400 freshmen women concluded the program to "educate and inform" the freshmen about upper class living units. They were held both Saturday and Sunday.
"I talked to both freshmen and sorority members and thought they all had a wonderful time," said Miss Martha Peterson, dean of women.
The freshmen, divided alphabetically into groups of 25 were entertained at each sorority house. They were served tea at one house during the afternoon. Each group visited six houses from 2:30 to 5:50 p.m. Saturday and seven houses from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
