U' Fraternity System 110 Years of Age For 110 years, the fraternity system at Michigan has occupied an important spot in campus life. Its objectives include not only the pursuance of a well rounded social life, but also integration inj all campus activities. Each of the 43 social fraternities conducts a formal rushing program under the direction of the Interfraternity Council at the beginning of each, semester.

Fraternities, like dormitories, serve three meals a day. Three fraternities on the Uni- versity campus have house moth- ers. Fraternities engage in their own league of athletic events, co- ordinated into the Intra-Mural Sports program. Trophies ,'are awarded and are welcomed addi- tions to house collections. Among fraternity social activi- ties are weekend parties, football luncheons, Mother's Day after- noons, parents weekends and for- mal dinner dances.
