Fraternity rush lasts whole year By Amy Hopfensperger Staff Reporter The end of summer also means the end of the bulk of fraternity rushing, an Interfraternity Council officer said Shawn McCartney, overall Inter fraternity rush co-chairman, said fra ternities could pledge men through out the year, but houses usually filled up with summer applicants. Of the more than 600 summer rush applicants, 526 have already pledged a house, he said. “Not many houses actively rush in the fall because most of the houses are full from the summer classes even though it is a year-long process,** he said. The number of pledges a Universi ty ofNebraska-Lincoln fraternity can take is not limited, unless by the local chapter, he said. McCartney said some houses would acceptpledges after their Tic es were full. Those pledges must i ally live in the dorms, he said. Fraternity summer nish differs 1 the formal rush parties sororities hole to get new members. During the summer, fratemit members travel around Nebraska recruit students, not only to their: temity, but also to the greek system i a whole. ' Fraternity rush involves multiple rush parties and functions throughout the summer designed to interest fra ternity recruits, or rushees, in a partic ular house. Of UNL’s 28 fraternities, only 26 participate in summer rush. The chap ters or Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi distribute membership in vitations to rushees after the first se mester of each academic year. McCartney, a senior criminal jus tice major and Lambda Chi Alpha member, said recent high school grad uates were the major rush partici pants. “Sometimes you'll see die older guys, die sophomores or the juniors, out there because they may have changed their minds or now have different views than they once had," he said. Second semester fraternity rush is a scaled-down version of summer rush, Thad Foiled, overall rush co-chair man, said. "After the first semester, we just start the entire application process all over again, but not as many people are involved and not as many people pledge,** Foiled, a senior business major and Sigma Phi Epsilon mem ber, said. As overall rush chairmen, Foiled and McCartney established the basic guidelines for fraternity behavior ami monitored the progress of rush during the summer. But McCartney raid their watch dog roles were limited. "Overall, it was a good summer,” he said. "The rules were followed, and we were strict about those. Of course we heard about a few minor incidents, but we didn't have any real problems."
