Monday, October 4, 1999 T the UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Section A·Page 5 Formal fraternity recruitment draws few By Lori O'Toole writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer The University's first October fraternity formal recruitment began yesterday with about 30 participants — much less than the 150 anticipated by the Interfraternity Council. "We're not at all discouraged," said Brian Cooper, Interfraternity Council vice president of recruitment. "This isn't the main way men join fraternities." Cooper said the organization was not disappointed by the low numbers because 477 men joined chapter houses through open recruitment before the semester began. He said the formal process would serve as a supplement.

Bill Nelson, director of greek programs, said the schedule change to October was expected to generate more interest. Participants will visit houses to talk to members, ask questions and find out what each chapter offers from 6 to 10 p.m. tonight and tomorrow. Wednesday night's open houses will be an extra night to accommodate students who have night classes or other time commitments. Jay Byrnes, Chicago freshman, has class tomorrow night. He said the extra night would allow him to talk to members at the houses that he would not visited. "I'm not worried about this interfering with school," he said. "The schedule is pretty loose as far as I know." On Thursday night, participants will attend invitational parties at Alpha Tau Omega members Jimmy Hummert, St. Louis freshman, right, and Leonard Lee, Lake Quivira senior, left, welcome Nathan Johnson, Frankfurt sophomore, to formal recruitment.

If their dreams had anything to do with journalism or New York City, she offered her e-mail address and challenged them to keep in touch. "She's my mentor," said Belinda Hinojos, Kansas City, Kan., junior and member of Hispanic American Leadership Organization, who ate dinner with Guzman before her speech. "She's real. She gives a Latina perspective. She knows the cultural and social boundaries we face from our families and from society." Guzman became a journalist because she wanted to see people like herself recognized and her love of words. my sisters or my father" she said. "I wanted to tell the story of heroes I saw everyday in my community." "Growing up, I felt like there were never stories written about people who looked like me or my mother or Guzman has worked as a newspaper reporter, an on-camera television reporter, a producer for a television news program and as a representative for a New York City politician. At one point, Guzman was fired from her job as a producer by a new manager who told her she didn't work hard enough. One week later, one of Guzman's television segments was nominated for an Emmy. "When you're a Latina woman or a woman of color you have to be really aggressive," she said. "You have to see yourself living your dream." Guzman made being fired a springboard for new opportunities. She told students, especially women, to make time for themselves so they would have strength for the big fight. "I didn't let racism or stupid comments keep me down," she said.
