The door swings open wide and several of the fraternity brothers
rush onto the porch to greet a new rushee with glad smiles and glad
handshakes.
Thus begins the biannual college phenomenon appropriately
termed rushing.
Rushees are rapidly ushered into the fraternity house. Hands
appear from all directions waiting to be firmly shook. The rushee's
coat is doffed and disappears into another room.
One of the fraternity brothers subtly takes the rushee's elbow and

GLAD HANDSHAKE - The two-week process of rushing begins
for prospective affiliates, as they are greeted at the doors of fra-
ternity houses with firm handshakes from the activos. With a
little luck these rushees will soon be part of the fraternity system.
Room. I guess you can see why."
"This is the cold' dorm .. . just
right if you're warm blooded. I
prefer the warm dorm myself.
That's right across the hall there.'
Downstairs again both rushee'
and fraternity brother have a
chance to sit down and become
better acquainted through the
convenient medium of "small talk."
"How are your studies coming?
Would you like a cigarette? Where
did you say you are from? Oh, do
you know ..."
Finally the rushee makes some
comment about having several
other houses to go to. Arrange-
ments are made for him to return
a few days later to a smoker or
dinner, his coat reappears, the
glad handshakes are exchanged
again and he is ushered out the
door.
Outside, the rushee tries to'
evaluate the men he has just met.
Inside, the fraternity brothers try
to evaluate the rushee.
Once Burton Tower has struck
the hour of 9 p.m., and all rushees
have left the fraternity houses in
proper accordance with Inter-Fra-
ternity Council regulations, the
fraternity men begin the nightly
rushing ordeal known as the "hash
session."
The sessions may last far into
the night, Each rushee who visited
the house is discussed and evalu-
ated. If he has made a good. im-
pression he is called "sharp," a
"neat guy" or "bid material."
If the impressiort is bad he is
called a "clod," and gets "axed."
A short phone call breaks his re-
turn date.
However, a bad impression at
one fraternity may be a good im-
pression at another.
As the rushee returns for smok-
ers, and the two weeks of rushing
pass rapidly by, the pace increases.
Finally the field of choice is nar-
rowed down, and the fraternities
begin bidding for new members.
At this point the option of prefer-
ence changes from fraternity to
rushee.
Once the rushee makes his deci-
sion he becomes a pledge and
starts his new life as a college fra-
ternity man.
