Sig Ep Secretary Is
Against Late Rushing
(Contrmied From lage One)
overhead cost is practically the same
whether there are ten or fifty men
in the house. The more men there
are in the house the lower the cost
per man. If a number of men do
not return to school after the summer
vacation, the burden falls upon
those who do return, to keep the
house running until the rushing
period is over. It is undesirable to
have a chapter entirely of upper
classmen to fill the house, for, when
the freshmen are pledged, there is
no room for them and the chapter
is too large and unwieldy. There
fore the freshmen cannot be super
vised and trained to make good fra
ternity men.
The. confusion and excitement of
rushing is extended, over a period of
from one week to a school year
The freshmen is continually disturbed
by visiting fraternity men, the fra
ternity men themselves must be
eternally on the job to keep their in
fluences with rushees, with the re
sult that the scholastic work of both
suffers.
Tt i imnossible to really know
whether or not you want a rushee
fraternity brother until you
have lived with him for a time.
nur-ino- tn nishin neriod both par
ties are on their good behavior, both
are putting on their best front.
ir,Tn n anenkin? acauaintance, as is
possible when the rushing period ex
tends over a month or more, win not,
!,, nut n man as living with him
every day. Keeping in touch with
a number of rushees, the aany les
sons, campus activities, fraternity ac
tivities, personal affairs, a fraternity
oonnnr. rlo more than have a
speaking acquaintance with the
rushees. It is true, a rushee can
be watched in class, on the street, in
activities on the campus and in tneir
oaoa hnt the only way to deter
mine whether or not he can fit in
vour otoud and live peaceably tnere
is to live with him for a time.
A rushee does not know any more
.Kr.,, a fraternity that will help
him decide his question after a de
ferred period than he does at the
beginning of the period. True he
may know how old it is, now mnj
MhontarB IT. has. who its prominent
alumni are, and what its house
looks like, but he has had au tmr
information pumped at him by so
many different fraternities that he
is confused and undecided.
It is said that the lives of many
hnvs are injured or ruined be

theory, but practical experience does
not bear it out. on campus
throughout the country it is a com
mon practice to release men from
their pledges if they cannot be assim
ilated. The number of released
men, compared to the number oi
SHOWS AT 1:00, 30. 5:00. f0

pledges, is small indeed. It is purely
a matter of a pledgee adjusting him
self to his group. Fraternities
might be considered in different
classes, .according to the type of
men they appeal to. I maintain that
if a man is pledged to a group of
a particular class and gets closely
acquainted with the men in that
group he can live as happily there
as in any other group of the same
class.
Furthermore, rushees have a first,
second, third, and sometimes a
fourth choice. If their first choice
does not want them and the second
one does, they join the second fra
ternity. Very few men refuse fra
ternitly affiliation entirely because
they are not invited by the group
they most prefer. Take, for exam
Die, the colleges where elaborate
rushing systems are in vogue, where
fraternities send their bids to a fa
culty member and rushees send in
their several choices to the same fa
culty member. If first choices do
not agree, then the second and third
choices have their turn, and very
few rushees recline membership be
cause they do not receive an invita
tion from their first choice.
Again, I have not noticed where
anyone has committed suicide or
gone to the dogs because he did not
make a fraternity, or did not receive
a bid from the organization of his
choice. I have not found on any
campus any open antagonism be
tween fraternity and non-fraternity
men and only in a very few places
where the feeling is bad under the
surface. Hence the statement that
lives of young men are made unhappy
because they failed to mpke a fra
ternity is not supported.
I maintain further, that in the vast
majority of cases a rushee will take
the fraternity in which iie has the
most and best friends; and that in
the vast majority of cases if a rushee
gets one or two bids he is an excep
tional man.
Throuerhi a period of deferred
rushing the rushees are favored, en
tertained, praised, and made over
generally by the fraternities. The
rushee gets the idea that he must be
an exceptional person to receive so
much attention and feels that he is
doing the fraternity a favor by join
ing. After his initiation, or even
pledging, the chapter members have
a problem on their hands to make
a good fraternity man out of him.
The new pledge or initiate seems to
feel that his presence is all that is
necessary in the organization.
Furthermore, initiation usually fol
ios within a very short time after
pledging, especially where the rush
ing period extends over several
mnnfria or a semester. Consequent
ly there is no probationary period
or period in which the iraternny
momhprs can nroperly train the
pledge and prepare him for the fu
ture work of the organization. Af
ter be is once initiated, it is far more
difficult to expel than it is to re
lease a pledge. There has been no
period in which to determine whether
or not the ruBhce can be assimilated.
Deferred rushing regulations have
not been, are not being, and will not
be lived up to. Fraternities Bre going
to go after men through their active
and alumni members, regardless of
regulations. Suspicion and hard
feelings are engendered between fra
ternities because of such regulations,
and political prejudices are often
played upon in inflicting penalties
on those who might be caught violat
ing tho rules. The only time that
charges for violations will be made
is when the fraternity gets a man
that some other fraternity particu
larly wanted and tho latter knows
the former got him by violating the
rules. Fraternities that live up to
the rules are penalized.
It is highly expensive to conduct
a period of deferred rushing. One
of the continual charges hurled at
fraternities is their extravagance
and delayed pledging is one of the
causes for this useless expense. The
fraternities compete in giving elab
orate parties and the pledges start
with the wrong idea of fraternity
life.
The men selected are no better
than under open rushing, nor is the
fraternal spirit of the organization
improved. In fact, it is apt to af
fect the morale of the organization,
because a pledge does not have the
right attitude toward the fraternity,
and the probationary period is short
ened or done away with entirely.
Finally, it is impossible to regulate
human nature, and it is equally im
possible to create an ideal condition
on college campuses in regard to a
highly competitive business. Let na
tural laws of human nature, econom
ics, and sensible business procedure
control rushing. Compare rushing
to the competition between business
firms selling the Bame line of good's
and you hvae a parallel.
The field of competition is on the
campus. Let it stay there. Don't
drive it elsewhere. Let us not have
every fraternity on the campus sus
picious of every other. Let us in a
spirit of friendly competition draw
the men that we can in our own way.
One of the most recent and com
prehensive surveys that has come to
my attention is tho report made by
the Dean of Women at the University
of Oregon. Questionnaires were
sent to the Presidents of Student
bodies all over tho United States.
Replies showed only two largo institu
tions using a Deferred Rushing Sys
tem Pennsylvania and Dartmouth.
Many have discarded it for the fol
lowing reasons which have been tabu
lated in their order of undcsirability
as expressed:
1. (a) Sub-rosa rushing not elimi
nated. (b) Unfair competition. '
(c) Secret rushing done at the
time.
2. (a) Confusion due to long
rushing.
(b) Scholastic averages lowered.
3. Expense due to long rushing.
4. Waste of time.
5. Too complicated.
I would be very sorry indeed to see
the progressive institution that the
University of Nebraska is, take the
retroactive step of deferred rushing.
Trusting the above expression
gives you the information you de
sired, I am,
