DISCRETION OF INTER-SORORITY COUNCIL THREATENS Delta Qamma Withdraws and Alpha Phi Considers the 8ame Ac tion Will Act Today. A sonBatlon was started In sorority circles last Saturday when Delta Gam ma withdrew from the Pan-Hellenic council. Rumor on tho campus Mon day said that Alpha Phi nnd several other sororities wore planning such ac tion today but nothing definite could be learned When asked as to the rea sons for this action a member of Delta Gamma gavo tho following interview to a member of the Dally Nebraskan staff: "We are withdrawing until the chairman of the council is given power to penalise for infractions of rules So many sororities have been break ing rules this year that none will agreo 'to punish tho offenders and they haver done as they liked in regard to obey ing these regulations. This laxness on tho part of tho council does not agreo with our ideas of Justice and we havo withdrawn from the coun cil until action such as we have sug gested is taken." Such disruption has been expected for some time as it is a well known fact that second semester pledging this year has developed more illegal rushing than any plan ever used in the past. Mutiny has become especially Imminent in the last few days when It became known that certain recog nized offenders have sworn on their honor that they obeyed the rules.
