A sorority girl gives annually
the best ten years of her life to the
Grand Old Cause in the short
but painful period called formal
rushing.
.The improvement of character
Iis usually said to be one of the
seems to me an iea way of im
Iproving character in that it pro-
duces absolute selflessness, with
heavy fines for non-attendance.
Sorority girls sacrifice scholastic

pride, and integrity to the truly
noble and of persuading others to
jet in and have their characters
improved by sacrificing scholas-
tic work, health, social life, com-
fort, pride, and integrity . . . (this
could go on forever and I some-
times feel it has been.>)
The antiseptic ads think there
are some things even your best
friend won't tell you, but your so-
rority sisters will, with threats.
CONSIDER the altruism of a so-
Srority girl sitting on the floor,
her legs slowly becoming para-
lyzed, leering bravely up at some
miserable freshman, although her
heart is sick at the sight of two
of her ever-loving sisters making
fools of themselves telling corny
jokes in blackface. Sydney Car-
ton had nothing on her.
Then there is the appalling lit-
tle institution of hash session. This
is when sorority girls stagger into
one room and listen with pain-
glazed eyes as each and every sis-
ter says either, "Oh I- like her!
1ionestly, she's wonderful!" or,
with a burst of originality, "Oh, I
like her ! Honestly, she marvel-
ous!" Dissenting opinions are us-

Presiding ovcr this system for
moral uplift is Panhellenic'
which sits over in ,the League
and carefully schedules rushing
parties for nights on which there
are concerts, lectures, and
dances. Once in awhile soame
crass soul dares suggest a
change in schedule, but, after
all, those schedules were mimeo-
woauldn't expectPanhel to have
a new set mimeographed, would
you?
THIS YEAR Panhel is saving us
money by having a party the
same night on which Mortarboard
is sponsoring a Pay-Off Dance for
women to repay their J-Hop obli-
gations. such as they may be. Mor-
tarboard may feel a bit hurt by
this slight, but they must realize
that it does a lot more for a
girl's soul to sit around on the
floor and ask sixty-six freshmen
what their home towns are than to
be out with some man.
If anyone rushes up in the next
few seconds and asks you what
helpless venom is, just shove this
under his nose.
