Pi Phi's Conduct Hospital Pledging
For most KU women formal sorority spring rush and pledging was over three weeks ago—but not for Diane Green, Abilene freshman.
Miss Green was formally pledged by Pi Beta Phi yesterday in Watkins hospital, exactly three weeks after formal pledging.
She was admitted to Watkins February 4, the day after sorority preference cards were signed, for an emergency appendectomy. An infection and high fever prolonged her stay.
She missed the yell-in, pledge banquet and other activities with her new pledge sisters.
After securing permission from her doctors, eight members of Pi Beta Phi wearing white dresses, crowded around Miss Green's bed to perform the pledging ceremony.
Sherry Zillner, Shawnee Mission junior and president of Pi Beta Phi, said the pledging was a "regular one" except that Diane sat crosslegged on the bed instead of standing, and her pin was pinned on her nightgown.
Afterwards Miss Green sat on her bed opening notes and unwrapping gifts and flowers from sorority members.
This is not the first three week siege of illness for Miss Green since coming to KU. Around Thanksgiving she spent three weeks at home with mononucleosis.
"I've just never been sick before this year. Even in high school I didn't miss a day," said Miss Green, a slender, dark-haired, healthy-looking girl.
Though she was forced to drop a five-hour French course last semester because of illness, she plans to continue a full 15-hour load this semester, including geography, French, speech and English.
"I've been keeping up with my reading here in the hospital," she said. "I went to one class Friday to write an English theme. I hope to go to all my classes today, but of course I will have to return to the hospital immediately afterwards."
Miss Green said her teachers had been very co-operative. "Mr. Nunley, (associate professor of Geography) my Geography teacher is coming over today to help me. And, my French teacher, the same one I had last semester, got me a key to the elevator in Summerfield."
"In fact, everyone," she added, "has been so thoughtful. A boy from Abilene brought me a portable television set."
Sue Worley, Salina senior and past president of the sorority, said the decision to pledge Diane in the hospital was made following a suggestion by the chapter's province president last week because Miss Green's length of stay in the hospital is uncertain.
"To my knowledge, it is the only pledging to take place in a hospital in the history of our sorority," the past president said.
