Frats sign Little Sisters to form support group
By KIESA ASCUE Staff Reporter
They were recruiting women for their Little Sisters programs.
Fraternity pledges enthusiastically approached as many women as possible at GSP-Corbin Hall when the women moved in, bearing invitations to parties for that night and others during the week.
Every year, GSP-Corbin is a source for recruits, but any woman may be needed in the program, said Strikelie. A Strickler, a member and a member of Lambda Chi Alba.
Women who were interested in the program attended fraternity parties last week. The men had each woman sign her name and phone number to a group of them. Two women whom they liked to return to their fraternities as Little Sisters.
Little Sisters form a support group for fraternity members, who, in turn, invite them to parties and other social functions, Strickler said. Relationships them and their little Sisters range from friendships to love affairs, he said.
"It's a good way to meet girls," said Strickler.
The Little Sisters serve a myriad of functions for the men.
Barry Dull, Overland Park senior and member of Delta Tau Delta, said, Little Sisters have been known at our camps for years. Bake cakes for us and take us out."
In some fraternities, competition to become a Little Sister is stiff. Dull said 300 women attended his house's first graduation of those women became Little Sisters.
"We try to meet as many girls as we can," he said, "I'm sorry not all the girls I need to meet and having a good relationship and try to make their feel welcome when they come here."

We're special in a lot of ways. Like our large collection of selections in town, or an ice cream Soda Fountain with treats like a Green River. Now it's the special. See you next time.

Although many fraternity men date their Little Sisters, Dull insisted the organization was not a dating service. He said the fraternity men tried to support their Little Sisters whenever they were upset about academic or personal problems. He said the exact name of his fellowship with her fraternity Big Brother varied according to the personalities of the two people.
Dan Winger, Salina sophomore and a member of Kappa Sigma, said that usually, a Lice instructor had only one Big Coot might be required, might have two or more Little Sisters.

Fraternity men help the women with their fund-raisers, Winger said.
Marsha Kindrachuk, Wheaton, Ill., junior, has been a Delta Chi Little Sister for two years. She said she joined because many of her friends had. Kindrachuk said she did not think the program exploited women.
"we raise money for them so they can throw parties for us," he said.
'My Big Brother is like a real brother to me,' said Kindrachuk. 'I think girls should have Little Brothers, too. It's a good way to meet people.'
Early system to aid enrollment, planning
KU's new early-enrollment system, to be tested this fall, may make running the University an easier task for administrators, one official said yesterday.
By STEVE CUSICK Staff Reporter
Under the new system, administrators will be able to predict student enrollment earlier, David Ambler, vice chancellor of student affairs, said.
"Now, we don't know those things until 20 days after we've started." Amber said. "Early enrollment will get me into these things in a more timely manner."
And the sooner KU officials can get an idea of how many students enroll, the sooner they can figure the amount of incoming student fees.
KU'S NEW SYSTEM, which students will use for the first time in November, is modeled after the early-enrollment program at the University of Iowa in Iowa City.
Officials implemented the program at Iowa three and a half years ago. PTS has not changed.
Early enrollment has helped improve planning at that school, said Jerry Dallam, registrar at the University of Iowa.
The reason the school adopted the plan was concern over the lack of
DALLAM SAID, "We had an arsenic enrollment, similar to KU's. And you can't expect too much academic advising to go on in two days."
advising caused by having enrollment at the beginning of a semester, be said
At Iowa, student pre-enrollment occurs during two weeks in the fall semester and then again during three weeks in the spring.
About 92 percent of Iowa's students this semester pre-engaged last spring (2014).
Iowa's pre-enrollment program is popular among students there, Dallam said. An evaluation last year showed that students liked the new enrollment more than the old by a margin of 99 to one.
AMBLER SAHE heoped KU's program would meet, much success.
Early enrollment may "reduce a lot of student frustration with the present system," he said. But, "it is not going to solve all of our problems."
To accommodate the system, changes must be made in other University programs and policies, including the student orientation program and the University calendar, Amber said.
"The method of collecting and assessing fees will change." Ambler
"I hope someday, for example, that you can pay your fees by mail."
STUDENTS WHO ENROLL early this semester will register and pay their fees in January. Ambler said.
Officials said students would be able to enroll in six minutes under early on.
A new enrollment center in Strong Hall is nearly completed. The center will house 15 computer terminals and three terminal printers.
A student will be able to walk into the center at a scheduled time, sit down by
a computer operator and then make class choices.
Spring timetables should come out two weeks before early enrollment begin, and some schools might start advising them, officials said.
EACH STUDENT WILL receive only one enrollment card under the system. The card will include computer-printed information, including student address, school, division and level codes.

Students who miss early enrollment can enroll during the two days before the first day of school.
