IFC To Discuss Rush Rule
An amendment to the Inter-fraternity Council constitution, nominations of officers for next year, a rush week rule change, and a community service award will be items of business at the IFC meeting Monday night in the Kansas Union Pine Room.
The amendment, if passed, will make it mandatory for all IFC representatives to live in their chapter houses during their terms of office.
The amendment was tabled at the last council meeting two weeks ago.
The proposed rush week rule requires all rushees to live in University dormitories with 10:30 p.m. closing hours.
A vote will be taken on a motion to set up a traveling trophy to be awarded each year to the fraternity with the most outstanding record of service to the community and the University.
Nominations for officers will be made. Elections will be held in two weeks.
Sororities To Host Freshmen
The Panhellenic Council, sorority governing body, will give a series of parties for freshman women Saturday and Sunday afternoon.
Twelve social sororities will present skits during the 45 minute parties. Seven parties will be held from 1:30 to 5:25 p.m. Saturday and five parties will be given from 2 to 4:45 p.m. Sunday.
Freshmen will attend in groups from their dormitory floors. Refreshments will be served at one party in each house.
The first open house for freshmen was held in November. Sorority women conducted tours through their houses. The parties this week-end will be to "get acquainted" Phyllis Anderson, Wellington junior and Panhellenic council secretary said.
Under present rush rules freshman women are not allowed in sorority houses except during official times declared by the council.
