"A girl must be wealthy and
have lots of clothes to join a
sorority."' ,
"It is important that a rushee
date 'important' houses or persons
on campus"
These are two false - rumors
typical of, those received during
the present rushing period, the
Leagge Undergraduate Office re-
ported. To keep such rumors from
circulating, the League operates a
rumor poard.
Report Rumors
Rushees report any rumors con-
cerning sorority houses or rush-
ing to their counselors. The coun-
selors post -these rumors and re-
Eta Chapter
Of Sorority
Reactivated
'c
Phi Sigma Sigma sorority was
reactivated as Eta chapter of the
national sorority last Friday.
The 27 members were also acti-
vated at the same time the chap-
ter was installed. They had been
pledging since last May when they
were 'ribbon' pledged. During the
fall they did their actual 'pinned'
pledging.
A past national 'grand archon,
the divisional presidentand the
field secretary performed the se-
k cret ceremony. Phi Sigma Sigma
came to the campus in 1922. They
deactivated during World War II.
Rush Parties

the first set, of mixers begin to-

Rushees are to bring five mixer
cards with them, one for each of
the five houses they will visit.
y rDress for this set of mixers is
school clothes and bobby socks.
Each party will last 40 minutes,
the last one ending at 11 p.m.

r plicants from colleges all over the
country to win places on the
As College Board nembers, they
will represent the University and
report to 'Mademoiselle' on college
life and the college scene. Each
girl will also be competing for one
of the 20 Guest Editorships to be
awarded at the end of May.

will help her explore her interests
and abilities in writing, editing,

lustrate the magazine's 1959 Aug-
ust College issue.
The Board will be brought to
New York as guests of the maga-
zine and will receive a regular
salary for their work.
Religious Office
Announces Chats
This week the Office of Reli-
gious Affairs introduced a new
"keep-acquainted" program.
"We don't want to lose touch
with students we met through our
Rendezvous programs and so we're
inviting them in for half-hour
chats whenever they find the
time," C. Grey Austin, assistant
co-ordinator of religious affairs,
said.
To date, 45 students have re-
ceived invitations.
' I
plies to them on the rumor board,
a bulletin board located outside
the office.
Following is a list of the rumors
and correct 'answers reported
through February'7:
(1) If for preferencing and final
bids a rushee has a house as num-
ber one and the house doesn't list
her on their first bid list, the
rushee has no chance of pledging
that house nor any other house
she put down in preferencing.
Mutual Choice
This is false, the rumor board
reported. Rushing is the oppor-
tunity for mutual choice of both
rushees and houses.
(2) A legacy is a girl whose
mother, sister or grandmother has
belonged to a certain sorority. She
is given the same consideration as
any other rushee, as no chapter
is compelled to bid legacies. This
is true.
(3) Because sororities had such
large quotas last spring, rushees
have less chance to pledge a house
this year.
Quotas Similar.
This is false, the answer stated.
In general, sororities have quotas
similar to those of last year.
(4) In order to pledge a soror-
ity, the rushee must have a high-
er scholastic average than the
University requirement.
The reply read, "Although a few
houses have higher scholastic qua-
lifications than the University,
most houses require 11 hours and
a 2.0 average to pledge."
Called False
(5) One member of a sorority
is capable of keeping a rushee out
of a sorority.
False, the statement said. There
is no blackball system in any
house on this campus.
(6) Upperclassmen are not
pledged unless they have a 2.5
average. This is false.
Nurses Exempt
(7) Sophomore, junior and
senior nurses do not count on sor-
ority quotas. Freshmen nurses,
however, are counted as part of
the regular house quota. This is
true.
(8) Girls who are pinned or
lavaliered should wear them to
parties, because it is the qualities
of common interests, ideals and
rushee and sorority girl look for
pleasing personality that both
in friends, not the dating status.
This is true.
(9) Rushees with affiliated sis-
ters on campus will not have a
chance in any other house. This
is false.
When the rushees begin picking
up their invitations, the rumor
board will be moved into the
League ballroom for their refer-
ence.
A night-club type atmosphere
will be the background at the
Women's League Snack Bar from
9 p.m. to midnight Saturday, ac-
cording to Kathryn Johnson, '60,
League Social Committee chair-
man.
Music for dancing will be pro-
vided by records played by Ed
Cicciarelli and broadcast over
WCBN. Besides the records, Cic-
ciarelli will talk informally to stu-
dents present.
In addition, there will be a floor
show presented about 11 p.m. This
program will be followed every
Saturday evening, continuing the
series which started in November.
Floor shows during the semester
will be presented by various stu-
dent groups. Some are, sketches
or scenes from campus produc-
tions, others are students who
have worked up some entertain-
ment.
Miss Johnson extended an in-
vitation for any student group
which would like to perform dur-
ing the Saturday floor shows to
contact the League.
The Saturday League Snack
Bar was designed to provide a
place for students to go after
movies and plays for dancing'and
an appropriate atmosphere, Miss
Johnson said.
The International Students As-
sociation will sponsor an all-
campus Valentine's dance from. 9
p.m. to 12 midnight at the Union

tra will be featured. Door prizes
and a floor show are also planned.
