Sororities Scrub Floors for Rushees; Pledges Later Return Compliment
Cleaning, scrubbing, meeting, and bullying has been the order of the day for all members of the women's organized houses. Rush week, that health heartbreaking few days and all this activity, begins this morning.
The first signs of life were found at the Pi Beta Phi house when they began to arrive bag and baggage last Saturday morning. These women who wear the arrow had the inspiration of a newly decorated first floor to send them to work on the cob webs that had collected in the rest of the house during the summer.
The Chi Omega house was the next to be opened and display another first floor newly decorated. They ranged their these and thoseies for quickly choose their rooms and the coming year. The next morning they were awakened by screams from their room. A lady began to arrive. Some polished cars while others ohed and ahed at their new furnishings.
Then came the rush at the railroad station as members from the other houses had to arrive for their many planned flights. Alpha Theta house bloomed forth in all its splendor despite the face that their
grass needed cutting. The Kappa grass Gamma members started washing windows while some corm stave on the heat.
The Alpha Omicron Pi house opened its doors and gliders may again be seen in the cozy corners of the Alpha Chi Omega porch. Not to be outdone the Alpha Delta Pi house has bright green shutters glistening against a fresh coat of white paint. The Alpha Delta Pi house shares their share of burning the midnight oil as they pour over ruskee recommendations.
All women who wish to pledge a security must live in Corbin hall during the entire rushing period with theception of town girls who have an established residence in Corbin. The five days includes bed clothes, mail and telephone service. The closing hour is 11 o'clock.
A compulsory meeting of all rush
wills will be held in Corbin hall at
8:30 a. m. Saturday, Sept. 10,
the first day of rush week. All rushes
must register at this meeting to be
eligible for pledging a sorority.
There will be three periods on Saturday
during which every house will be open. Every rushus must
go to every house at an assigned time and sign a guest book.
Sunday is called the day of stenence when date cards are sent out by each sorority by 9 a.m. to those rushesin whom they are definitely interested. These date cards must be returned with a rushing fee of $5.00 to the office of the Adviser of Women between 1 and 4 p.m. The rushing fee will be later turned over in publication of which the rushesbecome a pledge to be applied toward her bedge fee. In the agent that the rushesdoes not pledge the money will not be refunded.
Two days of rushing follow, in which sororities will entertain in the
following manner: Monday, Sept. 12,
there will be two tues in the afternoon;
that night the rushes will attend
a formal dinner and an after-
night tea on Tuesday, Sept. 13, there
will be a breakfast and an after-breakfast date.
Finally every house sends to a very carefully selected group of girls an invitation to the preferential dinner. The rushees must accept or reject these invitations by telephone between 2 and 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Then comes the careful preparation of make-up, a hurry up of job pressing a formal, thoughtfully bought a few weeks before to be worn Tuesday evening. At this dinner each socrory makes its
final judgment of the girls who have accepted.
Wednesday morning each hour turns in the list of girls which they wish to pledge. Each rushle is also required to meet at 8:30 in Room 322 Administration building to sign their sorority preference. This certain day, you will be working in every rushle's role, for they must return to Corin hall and wait, each occupied with his own thoughts hopes and dreams. At any minute during this day the arrival of the formal invitation sops a certain sorority is expected. There will be many screams 5
There will be many screams of delight and a few tears but regardless of their feelings all of these girls who have spent five days in Corbin hall, all wish to a common hood, the wish to pledge a sorority.
ity, must move out of the hall by 4 clock into either an organized house or a boarding house to spend the rest of their days on the Hill.

It takes good things to make a good product. That's why we use the best ingredients a cigarette can have... mild ripe tobaccos and pure cigarette paper...to make Chesterfield the cigarette that smokers say is milder and better-tasting.
