Pledger* to Hu Named
Over Week-end
Today murks the end of a solid
week of strenuous rushing by eleven
sororities and seventeen fraternities
on the University of Georgia cam-
hair and literally working them
selves into a state of mass hysteria
over the 144 freshmen women enter
ing this fall, an approximate de
crease of 25 per cent over previous
years which means that there are
not going to be enough rushees to
go 'round, each sorority having a
quota of 20.
Silence began for the girls last
Saturday, and the sorority women
have not been able to speak to the
rushees except in their respective
houses during the four rushing
hours every ufternoon. However,
from nil the gruesome Indications,
the gals have been talking them
selves hoarse, and their rushees
down to the proverbial nub in those
few frenzied hours.
The boys have been doing their
usual hap hazard. hlt-and-mlsB rush
ing In the way of Inviting the fresh
men, of which there are only ap
proximately 2.10 to he distributed
among the 17 fraternities—out to
lunch and supper. Rut from the
looks of the poor hnggard freshmen,
their resistence Is getting loV, and
they will probably succumb to the
onslaught of the neophytes any
minute now.
Among the more formal rushing
functions planned by the fraternities
were the Chi Psl supper party last
Wednesday night at the home of
Mr. and Mrs Walter Wellman,
chaperoned by the Wellman's and
Mr. nnd Mrs. J. F. Young.
Members of Chi Phi entertained
rushees and datos at a hayrlde and
barbecue at the Y. W. C. A. camp
Thursday afternoon nnd night. The
chaperons were Mrs. Clara Knox
und Dean Robert M. fltrozler.
The 8. A. E.’s have scheduled a
house dance for tonight from 9 lo
12. chaperoned by Mr. nnd Mrs. Mil
ton Jnrnngln. Mr nnd Mrs. Souther
land. nnd Mrs Wnlter nishop.
Also slated for tonight Is the Del
ta Tnn Delta stenk fry nnd house
dance from B to 12. Mr. T. M. Phll-
pot and Dean nnd Mrs. William Tate
