ENDS FOR NEBRACKA SORORITIES
SEMESTER ANNOUNCED SATURDAY
farm House Again Wins First Honors in Race for More Learning-
Delta zieta Leads sororities.
Delta Tau Delta Awarded Hainer Cup Given Highest National
Greek-Letter social fraternity Positions Shifted.
Farm House carried away first
honors in the scholarship race at the
i.i.-oritv the second semester of
iit vear. The report was issued by
rn C. C. Engberg Saturday night
and shows Farm House to have a rat
ins of 290.4 for the term. Bushnell
finild was second with a rating of
250.5 and Kappa Delta Phi. a local
organization, third with 246.5.
Delta Tau Delta won the Hainer
scholarship cup given the national
Greek-letter social fraternity having
the highest scholarship record during
the school year.
Xi Psi Fnl, professional dental fra
ternity. Jumped from seventh place
during the first term to fourth the
second semester. Alpha Gamma Rho
dropped from third to fifth place.
Delta Zeta Jumps to First.
Delta Zeta "spilled the dope' in the
smoritv race the second semester
and leaped from eighth place'to first
Alpha Xi Delta which led the first
term slumped to seventh position. PI
Reta Phi dropped from second to
thirteenth place.
Kappa Alpha Theta soared from
eleventh place to fourth in the list
and Achoth rose from fifth to second,
surpassing Delta Delta Delta which
ranked third the second semester.
The new reports show that those
not connected with fraternities or
sororities stand much higher in
scholarship than those affiliated with
such societies. It is hoped that- the
restless period of last year is over
and that scholarships for 1920-21 will
be much higher.
Dean Engberg's Comment
Dean c. C. Engberg commented as
follows upon the new report:
"In looking over the scholarship
data compiled for the past years the
following comparisons might be made
"The. scholarship of non-fraternity
men, although very low the first se
mester, was slightly higher than for
the last four years, while in the
second semester It was the highest
jet roiched.
"The fraternity men stood lower
(lie first semester than ever before
and in the second semester, lower
than they had since 1913.
"The scholarship rating of the wo
men, both sorority and non-sorority
was the lowest it had been for five
years.
"Hie higher record made by the
non-fraternity men as compared with
the lower record of the fraternity men
indicate the results of the well known
over indulgence in social affairs that
so seriously affected the, scholarship
of the Greek-letter groups last year.
The poor standing of the sororities
was due to practically the same con
ditions.
"The Hainer scholarship cup giver
to the national Greek-letter social fra
ternity having the highest standing
this year goes to the" Delta Tau Delta
fraternity, fe is Interesting to note
that this fraternity is ninth on the
1st. that its scholarship is 120 points
below that of the leader, the Farm
House, and thirty-four points below
he non-fraternity average."

FIRST RECEPTION
Chancellor and Mrs. Avery Ex
tend welcome to New Stu
dents in Art Hall.
Between six and seven hundred stu
dents, members of the faculty and
administrative force of the University
attended the annual reception given
by Chancellor and Mrs. Avery Satur
day evening In Art Hall.
New students predominated in the
crowd, which filled the room between
eight and ten o'clock. The reception
was one of the largest and mct
Pleasant in all the forty years since
its institution. Nearly all of the
faculty members were present and be
came acquainted wka many of the
students who are attending Nebraska
Pnlversit for the first time.
Miss Florence I. McGahey and
Chancellor and Mr. Avery greeted
'he gnests as they entered the room.
Refreshments were served by the
wives of the deans who were assisted
by several of the newer members on
the faculty. Mrs. Burnett. Mrs. Por
dy Mrs. Sherman and Mrs. Lyman
served during the first hour. During
the second hour, Mrs. Buck, Mrs. Le
Rossignol, Mrs. Seavey and Mrs
Clyde Davis served. They were as
sisted by Misses Wyman, Runge. Red
ford and McKinnon, and Mesdames
Heffley and Luebs.
First All-University Event.
The reception was the' first all
Unlverfity event this year and many
acquaintances were formed during the
evening. Small reception lines were
formed In a hurry by some of the
students. These usually broke up
into groups before long and others
took their place, only to turn Into a
hum of conversation.
The Chancellor's reception has be

The pledging of a large number of
girls by the Nebraska sororities Sat
urday was the outcome of the busy
half-week of "rushing." Pi Beta Phi
pledged the largest number, twenty
two; the Achoths pledged four, and
the numbers pledged by the other
sororities range all the way from four
to twenty-two. Some of the lists are
incomplete.
Special effort was made to avoid
?rror in delivering the invitations
Members of the Pan-Hellenic Board
Miss McPhee, Miss Pound, Mrs.
Deutsch, Mrs. Hyde and Miss
Heppner, assisted by Mrs. Ray De
Putron and Mrs. J. H. Avery accom
panied the girls who delivered the
Invitations. Two years ago the mes
senger lost invitations entrusted to
him and they were later found In a
barn.
After the formalities the pledges
were entertained in various informal
ways including dinners and theater
parties.
A majority of thep ledges and the
members of the sororities met for the
first time during "rush" season. A
concentrated effort" was made to get
acquainted In those three days, but
many feel that the time was too
limited. As a result some will be
pledged later In the year. The in
convenience of the sorority members
and the "rushees" meeting each other
such a short time before pledging is
partially removed by mutual recom
mendations. The "rushee's" name is
usually suggested in the summer by
an active or alumna member of the
sorority and carefully recommended.
The same person stands as a recom
mendation of the sorority to the
'rushee."
In some schools no girl is pledged
until the end of the first semester.
In others the "rushing" season lasts
hree weeks. Some give formal
parties while others depend upon be

Greek-letter fraternities at the Uni
versity were not permitted to make
known the lists of their pledges at
the close of rushing season, according
to announcements received Saturday.
This follows on the heels of the row
over pledging of high school fraternity
men which is against the state laws.
Action by the Inter-Fraternity Coun
cil is a result of the resolutions
passed by that body wherein all of
the fraternities agreed not to accept
any high school students who bad
previously been affiliated with secret
societies in their high schools.
Will Investigate Matter.
The Council desires to have two or
throe days to investigate the list of
fraternity pledges by Greek societies
at Nebraska. Unless he publicly re
nounces his affiliation with the high
school fraternity, turns in the charter
of the organization, and provides the
authorities with a full list of member
ship, any high school fraternity man
will be barred from pledging at the
University. By this -.ction the Inter
Fraternity Council is aiding in enforc
ing the high school anti-fraternity
law.
The Council met with the Lincoln
School Board and discussed the situa
tion in Lincoln. Two -f Lincoln
High School fraternities have already
surrendered their charters. Profes
sor R. D. Scott, chairman of the Inter
Fraternity Council, told members of
the Lincoln Board thai there are
eiht secret societies in Lincoln High
School. Kearney, Omaha and Platts
mouth are other towns whre national
Greek-letter organizations are estab
lished.
The list of the pledges will not be
made public until some time this
week, as a result of this action.
