brown combination are proving
dominant.

college wardrobe was given to you
to aid you in your selection of
school clothes. If there is any ques

Sorority Rush Weelc
To Include 7 Parties
Rush week instigates the year's
gayla activities. The doors stand
open as the sororities and fra
ternities welcome the new fresh
men to their open houses, after
which parties and preferences are
contemplated.
Initially, coeds register for par
ties at the houses they wish to
visit. After the last party, rushees
file a preference list that names
the groups with which they would
most like to become affiliated.
Young men who are Interested
in pledging a fraternity will learn
about the men's rush system at
the Sports Stag during new student
Nebraska Universiy Is host to
14 national sororities and 26 fra
ternities organized on the nation
al level and making their homes on

Panhellenic Association is the
governing body of the sororities
during rush week as well as
throughout the year. The Associ
ation is composed of alumnae, so
rority presidents and a Panhel
lenic adviser. Panhellenic requires
that a girl must have a scholastic
average of five before she may
be initiated. This average may be
raised as high as a house may
wish.
The sorority system is on a
pledge-active basis. Scholastic
standing and participation are of
importance to the pledge. Basic
ally, sororities are the same. They
have different names, pins, and
rituals, however. Each group
maintains a house for active mem-1
bers and seeks to emphasize sis
terhood and companionship.
Interfraternity Council com
posed of a representative and an
alternate from each fraternity reg
ulates all fraternity activities and
promotes co-operation and under
standing among the member frater
nities. The conduct of fraternity men at
all formal and informal house par
ties is also under the jurisdiction
of the IFC. The governing of rush
ing and pledging are also in
cluded in the long list of duties.
The Council sets a scholastic av
erage of five for a pledge to make
before being initiated.
Fraternity functions include par
ties, formal dances, picnics, sere
nades, intramural snorts and helD-
ing the community.
Student officers are m charge of
governing each house. House moth-
ers live at residences and act as
mothers away from home.
