Rush integral part of UNL Greek system

While most student organizations
use the summer months to lake a
breather from campus life, for the
University of Ncbraska-Lincoln’s
Greek system it is one of the busiest
times of the year.
By the end of March, Greek houses
arc already gearing up for a busy
summer of rush, the time of ycarwhen
fraternities and sororities recruit stu
dents from across the stale to be a part
of the UNL Greek system.
Intcrfratemity Council Rush Chair
man Thad Follct, said rush was an
important partof the Greek system. A
member of Sigma Phi Epsilon frater
nity, Follct sees rush as the pivotal
time when a new recruit, or ruShcc,
can decide what they want from, and
how they .can be shaped by a house.
“It’s the lifeblood of the Greek
system,” Follct said.
Andrew Loudon, rush chairman
for FarmHousc fraternity, said rush
was an important tool in recruiting
students to UNL.
‘‘You have about 100 young men
traveling around the state talking about
UNL, that’s a lot belter recruitment
than anything the high school rela
tions office can do,” Loudon said.
Rush is vital to the Greclc system
and hasa further impacton the univer
sity community, Loudon said.
Jayne Wade Anderson, director of
Greek Affairs,also said rush provided
a service to the university communi
ty. She said by bringing students to the
institution, rush offers an additional
choice in how to spend one’s four
plus years at UNL.
“Rush provides another option to
the student — it provides a choice,”
Anderson said. “As a freshman you
can live off-campus, in a residence
hall or in a fraternity.”
Fraternity rush usually consists of
multiple rush parties over a one to two
month time period at the beginning of
the summer. June 8 is the first day
rushccs can sign a house, and many of
UNL’ s 28 houses arc fu 11 by the end of
June.
Sorority rush, according to Cindy
Stuffl, Panhcllcnic rush co-chairwom
an, is a little more formal. It will run
from August 13-16, and will allow all
the women going through rush an
opportunity to see most of UNL’s 17
sororities. This year, over 500 stu
dents will participate.
Although sororities rush for only a
short period, Stuffl began work in late
May with sororities to begin prepar
ing for (he busy month of August.

said.
“In a time of difficult bud
gets, this one is easy; it has
passed all of the tests, and it’s a
formula for success,’’ he said.
Terry McAuliffe, director of
marketing for UNL’s Food Pro
cessing Center, said Kerrey had
been very supportive of devel
oping the food industry not just
in Nebraska, but in the U.S. as
well.
“It has been our major goal
for the last 10 years to develop
Nebraska’s food processing in
dustry. That goes hand in hand
with the agriculture product in
dustry,’’ McAuliffe said. “This
is a very positive opportunity
for us here in the Midwest”
